Valentine's Day Items

Valentine's Day is right around the corner and although I got a really late start, at least I'm not too late! Candy colored bunnies and lovely bear pops are my standard offerings, but I also managed to make two cupcake boxes which are completely new! They look like regular amigurumi, but are actually small boxes which would be great for keeping treasures safe (maybe for that special someone?) or for holding your sewing odds and ends... the cake part doubles as a pin cushion (pins= sprinkles!!!) Hope you like them :)

Most used words on my blog

This doesn't include all my posts (only the last five or so...) that's why "amigurumi" isn't the biggest word, haha!

Lazy Sunday...o.o.O.O.O.o.o...

Thanks to everyone who made my sale a very big success! It felt good to have the shop open again, I must admit! It was especially nice slipping out of my office during my lunch hour to go to the post office... Just like old times!

In addition to my sale extravaganza last week, I've been quite busy. When I was still in school I always found the holidays SUPER relaxing because there was no classes and the semester was over. Now that I'm working I realize how much grown ups actually have to do! It's definitely calming down now.


I was able to go to a fabric market and pick up this SUPER cute fabric; it's a pretty new design! I love it so much, its very Tokidoki-esque. It's also very Hawai`i; see the musubi and shave ice people? Other than that, this weekend I didn't do much in the way of fun... just family stuff, no crafting. A lazy Sunday indeed... my cat is even curled up on a puddle of sunshine snoozing away... it's been 3 hours! Hope everyone has a very happy week!

Secret holiday sale!!!

Surprise! I reopened my etsy shop today after a loooong vacation (but who knows how long I'll be able to stay open). To celebrate, I'm having my biggest sale ever... 25% off EVERYTHING from Dec. 26 2011 to Jan. 1 2012! Plus I'm putting tons of items on clearance so you can just imagine the savings (for example, all my cupcakes are $10-$12 (normally starting at $14!). When checking out of my etsy store, just use the coupon code HOLIDAY!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope your holidays are filled with good cheer, warmth, and happiness! Sending you all love and warm wishes ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

My small cat!

Some of you may have seen on my Facebook, but for those of you who didn't, I have a new small cat! My dad teaches night classes at a community college here, and he was talking to some office people/ other teachers when a tiny kitten rolled out of the bushes and ran up to him and started meowing. Everybody thought it was his cat, but it was a wild kitten! He looked for the mama cat but he couldn't find her, so he brought the kitten home. There was about a week where we were deciding whether or not we could keep him (he was too small to even go to the Humane Society to be put up for adoption), but in the end we loved him so much we decided to make him our cat... we named him Tiger Puff, but I just call him small cat.

This was when we first got him... his eyes hadn't changed color yet!

Anyway, we've had our cat for about a month and although I've never had a cat before, I know he's an extremely GOOD cat; he trained himself to use the litterbox, he lets everyone pick him up and pet him, he's not picky about food, and he's very polite (like he doesn't beg for food, if you scold him he stops doing whatever he's not supposed to be doing). He has only two bad habits; he drools when he's sleeping and he likes to jump on my bed!
