New Plushies!

New plushies are up in the shop!  It's been a few years since I have made plush, but I have been meaning to bring a new line of them into the shop. I'm pretty excited about these and it's hard for me to pick my favorite. I like that they are kinda sad-faced; it makes them all the more huggable! 

They are printed digitally, via Spoonflower, and are stuffed/sewn with love here in Brooklyn. 

Father's Day Cards!

DRAGONS!

YETI! 

Father's Day is coming up (June 16th!) and I have a few new designs in the shop this year.  If you are within the U.S., order by the 8th to comfortably receive it in time.  (Last year's are in there too, if you fancy them more!)

Spring Cards

No-bunny Like You

Not Amused

I haven't posted much other than my daily animal blog posts in a long time! I do have some more things to share soon, but I thought I would show a few spring-time/Easter-y cards that I put up on the shop. You might recognize the little angora bunny from a daily animal post! There's a few others that I have made into cards that I'll show soon. Busybusybusy!

Shipping Deadlines & the Holiday Handmade Cavalcade!

Just wanted to make a quick note about shipping deadlines if you're looking to get something for a gift and receive it before Christmas:

Within the US: December 17th (sneaking up!)

International: December 5th (which is super-soon!)

I've spent this week working on a mural for an upcoming craft show coming up this weekend. Super-psyched about it! It's also my last show of the year, so I'm hoping to go out with a bang. It's put on by my local Etsy NY team, comprised of artists, designers, and crafters who all live in the greater NYC area and all have Etsy shops. It's a great group and I always have a good time working with them. I designed the flyer this year too! If you're in Brooklyn on Saturday or Sunday, do stop by and give me a high-five. :)

2013 Calendar Time!

It's Calendar time! Three new calendars this year, one with all cats, one with all dogs, and one of my "regular" calendars that I make every year. Two sizes too. My main one is the usual 8"x10" and the Cat and Dog ones are smaller at 5"x8.5".  Super-psyched on these! Also, I feel like I have been working on these forevvvverrrrr, which I kinda have, because, um, 36 new illustrations! I'm really happy to be able to finally release them into the wild!  Calendars can be found in the shop here and allllll the new prints can be found here.

Kitties!:

And the pups!

New Cards!

I Miss Your Face.

I have a few new card designs to share today, that I've finally gotten up in the shop. More to come soon with calendars and new prints!

Which is your fave? I think I like "i miss your face." the best...

Woodland Party

Welcome Baby!

Eat Cake

Hello Hedgehog

Mythology is weird!

The Mythical Unicorn

New stuff! OMG! I've been working on this series for a few months now, and I have finally gotten around to photographing them and getting them listed in the shop. Woo! Mythology is weird and super-fun and have I mentioned it is weird? Seriously, you can get lost down the interweb-hole reading different myths. I decided to start a continuous series on this theme, and started out with some of the more well-known ones. I hope to do many more (of the lesser-known, insanely weird ones too!) 

King Cyclops

Teumessian fox

Phoenix Fire Bird

New Cards!

So many new cards! I'm a card-making machine! Ha, anyways, I have lots of new cards in the shop, for Father's Day and for all of those graduates in your life. I really like the Lederhosen Bear...

Spring Handmade Cavalcade!

If you are in NYC next weekend, Saturday May 5th, please stop by Littlefield, for the Spring Handmade Cavalcade! There will be lots of super-great vendors that are all Etsy sellers from the NYC-area. It will be mega-fun and a great way to kick off the spring/summer crafty season. 

Ah yes, and I designed the flier this year! It's gonna be a fun one. :)

...And there might be some free totebags with my little crafty-girly-fox design on it, for the first 100 or so people to show up...

Martha and crafting

This past Monday, I was invited to be in the audience of an Etsy-themed Martha Stewart Show. Everyone in the studio audience has an Etsy shop (and brought what they make to hold up!), and the whole show was all about Etsy. I wouldn't really call myself a huge Martha fan in general, but it was a really fun experience and I'm so glad that I had the opportunity! I was able to see lots of my local Etsy NY teammates, took home lots of swag, and hopefully you'll be able to see me waaaay in the back row when it airs. Ha! The episode will air tomorrow, April 26th at 10am EST, on the Hallmark channel. 

It's starting to be that time of year again, where all the craft shows are looming in the future. I'm trying to get things together sooner rather than later, to save myself some sanity. The above photo are new mounted prints that I'm thinking about bringing to the shop. They really aren't glossy, the varnish was just put on and they are drying. I made those to bring to a local shop, Fuego 718, but am thinking about putting them in my shop. What do you think? 

Craft away! :)
