Month: November 2011

Hi Hi!!!! I will be out of the country on a family vacation until Dec. 13! I am bringing my laptop and may blog from overseas, but I’m not sure. We’ll see how it goes. Lots of fun stories when I get back from INDIA!!! xoxo p.s. the shop is still open while I am gone, and I will ship everything ASAP when I’m home!

    I wish I could have gotten more items in the shop for y’all before the holidays, but I tried!! I may add a few more here and there, and maybe some more when I get back from my trip on Dec. 13, but this will be the bulk of it, and this is what I can guarantee will arrive to you before the 25th within the U.S. Saturday will be my last shipping day! I will keep the shop open, so people can snag items while I am gone, and then I will ship everything on Dec. 14. Hope everyone had a yummy Thanksgiving!

Last weekend, Hairy and I drove down to L.A. to attend the opening night of the Sweet Streets group exhibition, co-curated by Spank! I am kind of going out of my mind trying to put together a fun Black Friday sale for y’all, plus I’m leaving for a 2-week vacay in less than a week! But I could not pass up a chance to shop at the Spank! x Chubby Bunny pop up shop, and make-a the gross face with Shrinkle. Some links to check out with more photos! LA Weekly Jessi Jae Joplin’s Buzznet blog Anz Falcon’s blog (There’s a photo of me in there where I think my expression exudes, “I ate too much mac n cheese and I need to go take my tights off.”) tadatime on Flickr Ok, now my photos! The cutest art ever by Bei Badgirl I dunno who the artist is, but I LOVE IT. Ok, someone emailed me and told the artist is Markiii! So, I didn’t really get photos of artz. But the sites I linked you to have lots! Checkout Shrinkle executing “pretty feet.” I tried to copy her later, but I don’t think I was doin’ it right. Ummm ok, so I have loved Spank! and have admired Tavuchi for years. I’m pumped to have met her and taken a picture with her! Me and Shannie, who was a model in the fashion show! I think I still never blogged much about my trips to Portland and Seattle last year for my book tour, but we hung out with Shannie in Portland and made donut love. Ok … I esplain. I wanted to take a photo with Steph/zilla308, and she was like, “Let’s take a photo in the photobooth,” and she was also like, “I wanna take prom photos!” But I don’t think we actually knew what that would entail. Also embarrassing is that the photobooth was in front of the line for the pop up shop, so everyone gets to watch you be stupid! Me: “Sorry my hands are sweaty.” I’m the sexiest prom date ever. Ok these photos are stolen from Miss Alphabet. Here’s me, her, and Maria from Locketship. (Remember, you can still buy the crochet painting I created for Locketship’s anniversary here in their shop!) Me and Mr. Locketship! Feels like a good photo for an outfit rundown: -Shirt: from Etsy -Skirt: from Material Girl! Yes, it’s a line for teenagers, and yes, I had to buy XL so my butt could fit in it! I need to take in the waist, tho! -Tights: Celeste Stein -Socks: Sock Dreams -Shoes: my trusty, everyday Demonia Sprites -Fannypack: Fancypack by CarrotCake! -Cookie pin: by me! -Heart necklace: Cicely Margo -Hair pieces: I took YumYums coin purses from Strapya World and glued hair clips onto them. This one lady was like, “Are those zippers in your hair clips?” and I was like, “Yeah, they are actually coin purses that I glued hair clips to,” and she was like, […]

    Some of you asked me to keep you posted on when my crochet painting for Locketship would be available for sale. That would be now! Go to Locketship’s website to check it out! I’m in L.A. right now, blogging in my hotel room with my PJ’s on. We went to Disneyland yesterday and to Sweet Streets II tonight. I have tons of pics and videos to show you guys when I get home!

Tonight after Hairy gets home from work, we are driving down to L.A. for the Sweet Streets Art Exhibition Co-curated by Spank! I have so much to do, PLUS, we are leaving for a 2 week vacation on Nov. 28, so the responsible part of my brain is telling me that going to L.A. this weekend is the dumbest idea ever, but I can’t pass up the opportunity to shop at the Spank! pop-up shop!

I’m working on a kabillion things!! Slowly adding more things to the shop. Tomorrow some more cupcake hats are going up! I love sending cute things to cute people! 🙂

This Saturday night is Locketships’s 4 Year Anniversary & Galactic Glitter Launch Party! at Meltdown Comics in L.A. I unfortunately can’t be there, but my new crochet painting will be! Orbit the raccoon inside his rocketship is Locketship’s logo! So I crocheted him flying through a donut meteor shower for that Twinkie Chan touch! I used a bunch of different yarns, some buttons, and a bunch of pom poms. Go check it – and a ton of other fun stuff – out! It looks to be an action-packed night!

Pre-order your turkey hats and turkey tissue cozies now! The sooner your order, the sooner I crochet and ship! You have until Nov. 15 to guarantee Thanksgiving delivery in the U.S. 🙂

I played with a new business card design the other day, and the cards just came in this afternoon. I’m not crazy about them, since I think that both sides look like the back of a card. I don’t know. I can’t explain it. I think the “front” with the business name is too busy, plus the giant contact info is kinda weird. Taking the sprinkles out of the equation made the front look a lot cleaner, but I loves my sprinkles! I am planning to re-vamp the website/blog sooner rather than later, so I’ll have to change up the cards accordingly at that point anyway. It was at least fun to play with something different! When I first designed my business cards/logo, I of course really wanted to use PINK, but then for some reason, at that point, I felt like it would be too obvious for me to have a pink and girly logo, so that’s why I chose BLUE for my main background color. So it was fun to let out the pinks and cakes and strawberries and rainbows for a little bit! Now I’m going to be gearing up for Thanksgiving and the holidays. Turkey hats, turkey tissue cozies, and maybe turkey mittens coming soon! Anything else you’d like to see turkey-style? P.s. a couple people asked about my shoes in my last entry. Those are my everyday shoes. I just ordered 2 more pairs! They are by Demonia and they are called “SPRITE.” I buy them on Amazon! Just search on Amazon for “demonia sprite” and they should pop up :).
