Hello folks! I just wanted to give a quick update about my craft business. I will be taking an extended break and will only be selling limited items in my shop for the year of 2012. I will be traveling for an extended period of time and will only be able to sell digital sewing patterns while along on my travels. Internet connectivity is expected to be scarce, but if you do make a purchase of one of my patterns, I will try to get it sent off as soon as possible.
Thank you everyone who made 2011 a very successful year for all of my art work and I hope to jump back into creating cute things again as soon as I return!
If anyone is interested in following along with my travels, you can head over to my other blog at www.vernalgroove.com to read stories , see pictures, and watch videos of our adventures.
Cheers!

Hi All! I dug up some old crochet patterns I had made a few years ago and revamped them a bit and added them to my Etsy store! If you enjoy Crocheting, try one of my patterns out!

Hi All! This year I am participating in the Reddit Secret Santa Gift Exchange! This year is the biggest it has ever been and it is shooting to make it into the Guinness Book of World Records too! I am still in the process of creating my gift for my giftee, but another amazing thing happened revolving around this event. A Redditor purchased one of my Narwhals from my shop and had me ship it to their giftee! I made this Narwhal extra special and gave him a piece of bacon to hold :) Check out his cuteness. It feels awesome to be apart of multiple gift exchanges even in a small way :)

First of all, thanks to everyone who came to the Grand Opening of Elos Shoes on Adams Ave! It was a great turn out, great food and drink, and all around amazing atmosphere. A terrific first art event for my work! Thanks to Lisa and Paul, Elos owners, for displaying my work and including me within their Grand Opening and supporting the local artists of San Diego! Another Shout out to Brett Greshko, the other very talented artist who also had his work displayed at the showing.
Her are some photos of the work that was displayed at the opening done by myself and Brett.
There was a very positive response to the art as well as the products of the store. I also wanted to give a shout out to David Wilson, the amazing bartender we had at the event. I would even go as far to say he added his own artistic touch to the entire event with his drinks. I loved his Cucumber Cooler he had :)
And last but not least, Brett did a chalk piece on the wall of the store the same afternoon of the Grand Opening. I personally thought it turned out amazing and loves his use of colors. It fits perfect within the store and hope to see more of his work like this around San Diego in the future!
I had an amazing time. My work will be on display for at least a couple months so if you are ever in the area, be sure to stop by and say “Hi” to Lisa or Paul and check out the art work in the store, as well as the awesome shoes and accessories too!

Okay Folks. This big dude had been on my to-do list since before my hand injury. I had to put him on hold for a long while before I was able to tackle creating this awesome plush and I am so happy I finally got to make him! BEHOLD! The Overlord! The overall shapes and look of this Overlord was loosely based off of some chibi-cute drawings of some Starcraft creatures I found online. I think he turned out freakin’ fantastic. I am going to have to make a whole swarm of Zerg plushies and rush some bases.
If you are going to be at Blizzcon this year, you might see someone walking around with this plushie! Get your picture taken with it and send it to me and I will post it here :D

A few weeks ago I was contacted by a lovely person named Kim who is associated with the BunnyLuv Rabbit Rescue. She was in search for donations for her raffle being held at a local event to help raise awareness for the rabbits in need. On Sunday October 23rd, 2011 you can visit and get a chance to win many prizes including a Wind Swept Bunny and a Mini Bunny Bun made by me!
Visit them and bring some donations to help with their bunny rescue and get informed!
