Wow! When I started my etsy shop in Feb 2007, I though 1000 sales was just a dream...but I did it! I reached my 1000th sale this week!

What am I giving away you ask? Well, it's a surprise....but it will come in the cute little Mr. Toastee tote bag pictured below. And no, you do not get my Pullip doll ^_^ I won't tell you what's in there, but I'll tell you this...it's a plethora of Yummy Pancake fun! It's even better than getting a bag of crap from woot.com!!

I got me a Pullip doll!

As you can see, I finally got myself a Pullip Doll! I couldn't help it....they are just so adorable! I got her from The Valley of the Dolls....great selection and they arrive super quick!! She only came with one outfit, so I decided to design and crochet her a few more!

Here's a little watermelon dress I made her:

And here's a Nanner dress:

And my personal favorite, inspired by Joy Kampia's human sized crochet cheeseburger dress:

BEWARE!!

::cue scary music::

Halloween is coming to my etsy shop on Sept 13th.....don't say I didn't warn you......

Toastee at Plushstock 2009

Wow, have I been busy lately or what? If you put things off till the last minute, they only take a minute to do, right? Well, I finally got my pieces done for Plushstock 2009, the Etsy Plush Team's July/Aug challenge inspired by the 40th anniversary of Woodstock. The first little guy I made is a Hippie Mr. Toastee....and I think he's a bit toasted too ^_^ He is crocheted with 100% cotton yarn, stuffed with an all natural eco-fil, his clothes are made from a old retro washcloth I got fom my grandma, and the beads on is clothes and hemp headband are repurposed from old jewelry. He's so hippie you can almost smell the patchuli:

Also, because of my love of puns, I also made a PEACE of toastee....a mini Mr. Toastee made with tie dye yarn and with a handsewn peace sign on his back:

Be sure to stop by the plush team blog to see all the other awesome entries and to vote for your favorite(voting starts Aug 16th).

A new Toastee Species Discovered - Peanut Butter and Grape Jellyfish Mr. Toastee!

Check this out! I stumbled across a new species of Mr. Toastee while I was vacationing last week in the Outer Banks - a Peanut butter and Grape Jellyfish Mr. Toastee! He was just chilling out on the beach when I saw him from afar. He consists of 2 slices of Toastee bread, a layer of peanut butter and a layer of grape jellyfish. He doesn't sting like other jellyfish and he's quite soft, not goopy. I heard that there are also strawberry varieties too, but I haven't found one just yet ^_^

This little guy will be available in my etsy shop very soon.....
