EarMuffs

So today i finaly got the chance to take proper photos of the Earmuffs! uuuf...
It's been very sunny in Portugal the last couple of days and after lunch time the Sun light gets really yellow.. and not very good for photos! So today i managed to take photos in the morning, this is usually the best time for photos because light is soft and not direct from the window.

Anyway i took the photos and soon added the new items to the shop and to flickr!
Turns out they are selling very well! I'm so happy with these, such a great feedback from people too!

I'm making 4 different colors white, pink, red and brown. Any other colors you'd like to see, maybe?
Only for Lati Yellow and Pocket Fairy size now... need to start thinking about making them for Blythe, also been asked to make Human ^_____^

On with the photos now! Hope you'll like them!

Christmas Items!

Ok...
I made myself go back on track after last week...

It is a new season! I can see Christmas everywhere now! All the shops and streets are decorated and we start to listen to the music (i know next month i'll be sick of it!) but we should all be happy and star making plans for the big thing! I mean we have Christmas and soon after New Year... and in my case 4 days later it's birthday... yes, i'll soon be quarter of a century...

Well for all this... and mostly because i am still on the hunt for a job... i decided to make several Xmas items for the shop :)

I already started!
Went shopping for fabrics and furs yesterday

And here are the results after a few hours...

The earmuffs are so cute! i don't think i could take good photos...
The dress and socks are already for sale at the shop!
And more is there to come during the week! So many ideas! :)
Hugs, hope you all had a good weekend!*

forced to travel

I'm just letting everyone know i had to stop all the orders and also my new plans for Christmas items... my grandmother is very ill, it's been 2 years since we found she has a cancer on her throat and as sad as it is she is in a final condition...

For that reason i must apologize if orders get delayed and also if i don't reply to messages in the next couple of days... i wil try to let everyone know.

The one good thing i that i'm in the most beautiful part of my country... i'll try to get my mind distracted with some photos...

Hugs to everyone!*

Happy Mail Day

After a long and difficult day it was yesterday i had decided to stay in bed all day today...
The one thing that made me come out of my warm comfy bed was the door bell and i was 100% sure it was the post man!

Yay! i got 2 packages!
One was from UK a pack of 12 illustration markers, really good ones! But no, not for me... they are my birthday present to my little sister that just turned 18 this Monday!
The other one was from Rosa, i ordered 2 types of yarn and a cute tape during weekend and they arrived really fast! Here is the link to the shop Retrosaria

The rest of the day i spent doing some work... but i did take a photo

Also had to try the couldn't resist!
I'll show it off tomorrow!
