An army of little bears

Hey~~~ How you've been doing?

First of all, I want to say thank you to all the people who is participating on the giveaway~ You've made me so happy!!!  Now, to the topic in question xD

Kids are finishing their scholar term, and next year my youngest son will start Primary school (;_; kids grow up so fast  >_< my oldest son will start 4th grade), so all the mothers will throw a party for the kids ^^ I said I'll take care of the souvenirs, so now I have to make 35 little critterz <3

Girls will be receiving bears, and boys, octopuses. I started to make some, and the deadline is on December 10th (the party is on 15th, but obviously I want to finish sooner because I'm responsible and all that xD). So, here's a sample of the little bears :3 they are super tiny (about 8 cm -3,1 inches), but the perfect size for a souvenir :3

What do you think? I'll sell this on Etsy too, but I'm on a countdown to finish the whole bunch in time, and to also have time to make stuff for this Holidays  >_<

I'll show you the octopuses when I have some done ^^

Have a nice day~!

Trading!

Some weeks ago Tranifer and I decided to make a trade :3 So I asked her for a pirate bunny (you can see it here ) and she asked me for a pink dinosaur. Yes, we like pink, thanks for noticing it xD
Aaaaannn, I finished this guy/gurl some days ago but I didn't have time to post it on Etsy or anywhere ;_; but here it is!!! Innnntroducing the lovely and charming PINKOSAUR!

Did you know Pinkosaurs like to read? No? Shame on you, they LOVE it. This one took my Deathly Hallows book and started to read it.

Well... kinda, he/she is still learning to read, but don't tell anyone, ok? 

It will be hard to say goodbye to this little one, but I know he/she will be in good and lovely hands ^^

Have a nice day!

Artist Magnifique: Seniorita Polyester

Because argentinian artist are awesome like that.

Seniorita Polyester is an argentinian artist who draws, knits, cooks and many things more~ who is currently living in Costa Rica.
I don't know many things about her except that she's an awesome and super talented illustrator. And that she's vegan.
I'm finding it difficult to say what I like the most about her work because there are a lot of things I love about her drawings. The mixture of colors, the texture and vintage look she gives to them, the mixture of naif and dark, and a little bit of sadness too. I really think her work is amazing.
But anyway, here's some eyecandy.

I met her work with this illustration, published on an argentinian magazine called "Petites" 

Two weeks ago she said on twitter that she had 1999 likes on Facebook, so she would be sending pins and stickers as a gift for the number 2000. So I went to her FB page and guess what? I became her 2000 fan :3 And yesterday I received the goodies~

I loved everything, specially the card with the girl with the water window. As soon as I get a nice workspace I'll be sticking everything everywhere <3 Thank you Miss~!
Here are some of her linkies, go show her some love!:

Twitter
Facebook
Flickr
Etsy shop

I hope you like her as much as I do!

Have a nice day~

Little alert!

You know, I think crafting is about LOVE. And giveaways are love!

I'm not sure you know about this, but I've been wanting to make a giveaway for aaages now (now that I think about it, I said that on twitter the other day xD). Well, not AGES, but since I opened my Etsy shop xD

So, STAY TUNED AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS, because as soon as I can organize all my mess (I expect to do so next week), I'll see what can I give for free to all you lovely readers ^^

Do you have any ideas, would you like something specific? Let me know, and I'll see what I can do :3

Have a zzzzzuper nice day!
Hugs~!

My first sale on Etsy

Hello everyone~! How you've been doing?
I've been busy >_< but I have awesome news: I made my first sale on Etsy!!

You can't imagine how happy I am. When I received the mail for the transaction I was in bed with fever and with a crappy internet conection (in fact, I still am), but all feverish and sick (and did I say happy already? because I was) I started to crochet a little reindeer for a british customer <3

I made EVERYTHING: the box*, the gift tag and the thank you card xD everything was handmade by me. I sent him an amigurumi ice cream keychain because I made a promotion for the first 10 customers who buy an amigurumi doll ^^

So, after all the preparation (it took me a lot to finish everything xD I'm such a freak ~_~) I went to Correo Argentino (Argentina's oficial mailing office) and sent the little package via certificated mail. It was all so fast and easy! I hope it arrives safe and soon ^^

*The box was a pain in the a**ss xD but it ended up as I wanted :3 I'll post the pattern someday, I promise.

Have a nice day!
Hugs <3

LAST MINUTE UPDATE
I just made my second sale!!! And it is a reindeer again :3 this time to the United States. I'm SO.FREACKING.HAPPEY o3o *runs to work*

I trade handmade

Hi!
Do you see that button on the bottom left? The one which says "I trade handmade"? Cute uh?
Well, I stumbled upon this lovely blog the other day thanks to Miki's Scrapbook and found out that there's something going on there.
This is what Ashley (from Under those Neon Lights) has to say about it:

What is "I Trade Handmade"?

Since I have gotten into blogging

and after joining the Etsy community,

I have discovered SO MANY AMAZING crafters and artists.

If we lived in a perfect world I would buy something from

every one of your amazing shops!

BUT, my bank account would definitely not agree with this,

and I am sure you feel the same way.

When Kathleen from Cherry Red Studio
bought something from my store a few weeks back,

I headed over to her blog and eventually found her Etsy.

I saw so many things that I would love to have,

and I of course bought a beautiful necklace

BUT

What did we accomplish?

of course we got the goods we wanted,

but nether of us really made money.

Essentially we just TRADED!

LIGHT BULB!

What if we all wanted to trade crafts?!

I think it would be so much fun if

everyone in our little blog/etsy community,

who is willing to trade their handmade lovelies

for OTHER treasures made by OTHER bloggers,

would add a button to there blog, stating

I TRADE HANDMADE!

I absolutely loved the idea, so I sent Ashley a message, and now I'm in ^^
So, if you make handmade stuff and want to trade, join! I haven't trade anything yet, but I'm waiting to see what happens C:

Have a super duper nice day~!
