May Calendar!

Yay! May's calendar is now available for download, just go to my flickr or photobucket! I worked on it extra hard, because for April's calendar I kinda took the easy way out, haha! Anyway, this calendar also incorporates some of the suggestions I got from fans on my facebook: people wanted to see flowers and rainbows (and I was all to happy to oblige). Mix that in with the end of school (for most kids) and you get a happy welcome-summer-calendar! Here's the story:

"Scout, Oscar and Lionel are so happy that school is out... Playing in the schoolyard is much better than being in a classroom!"

Hope everyone has a happy May!

Indeed, that's how it happened

Sorry there have been no posts for a while. Don't ask me exactly how this happened, but somehow the memory card from my camera ended up in my glass of milk. Don't worry though, although the memory card is dead, the milk was fine.

Mushrooms!

This is the red mushroom that was sold as part of my update/thank you sale... I loved him so much, so you can be sure more will be coming out soon (in different colors!) You guys probably know how much I love mushrooms (especially the red dotted ones... like Mario only cuter!) Well I've been on a bit of a mushroom kick in the past few months, and I managed to snare these uber cool mushroom things!



Vintage mushroom house burner on etsy (for incense... although I liked it just because it was cute its good to know that it could be used for something, if I so choose!)

Salt and Pepper shakers... although all of them were listed as vintage on etsy, I've since found the red and yellow pair at other shops online; soooooo yeah.... not vintage. Still really cute though! Although they are currently out of stock now, you will probably be able to pick up some of these cute shakers for yourself (in the future, at least) from this online shop called plasticland which seems to have a really cool assortment of stuff anyway (such as this bread shaped cake pan.... I love it!)

happy earth day!

I hope people had a nice day!

Although I didn't have time to think of anything particularly earthy, you can look at these old posts to make some cool things out of recyclables: A little booklet and a bottlecap pincushion. If you haven't seen them before, check them out! Big hugs :D

Thanks so much everyone else who made my giveaway and sale a huge success! Also don't feel sad for not winning... I'm coming out with a special free amigurumi tutorial, so stay tuned!

Fimo cookies

Here are some fimo (actually I used sculpey III) cookies I made using tiny shape cutters and pins.... they're oreo/sandwich style, haha! I really like the way they turned out (especially the heart ones) but I kinda wish they looked more realistic... oh well, there's always next time! Anyway, these cookies are the cookies that I'm giving away with any amigurumi purchase in my shop during the berrysprite thank-you sale which, just a reminder, ends this Saturday! Thanks everyone who's purchased something from the sale/ entered the giveaway... it's going smashingly!
