Bats and Pink Strawberries


I only have one size of plastic packaging that I bought with simple bows in mind. Not going to stop me from putting other products in them before shipping them out to clients. The spring strawberry bow is pretty crammed in there, but it fit and closed!
I sold the original baby bat at the monthly lolita swapmeet, but left the listing in the shop as I had already started making another. I made a few changes though.

Spring Strawberry Bows


Pink strawberries and minty bows are totally spring colors. At the last monthly lolita swapmeet I heard a girl comment that the red/brown strawberry bow was cute but mori, or something to that effect. I sold the other pastel one at the meetup before, so after that it seemed like a good idea to make more of the pink strawberries. It's seasonal and even though most of the girls that showed up to that meet up were wearing black (including myself) there are still others strongly into sweet !

Strawberry Cake Cover


I'm back! With old stuff! This is something I made for my sister for Christmas. My dad got us 7in tablets and I'd seen my sister with cutesy cases and stuff so it seemed like a good idea.The idea was a cake, yellow with strawberry and cream on the inside.

Strawberry Bows Revisited


Revisiting an old idea of bows with strawberries and flowers! I thought for sure I'd had posts up before besides this one that feature this idea, but I guess not. I just feel like I've made this style of bow a lot of times, although I think in reality I've maybe only done it 3 or 4 other times? That still sounds like a lot... The dark red and brown bow is certainly not something new or original, but I do love those colors together...

Bunny Ice Cream


Bear bonbons, bunny dango, other cute animal styled desserts are thing, right? Especially in the clay sculpting crowd and acrylic charm makers. Bear cupcakes are easy enough, dango is a bit more iffy when it comes to the try colored skewered type. And a drawing of bunnies stacked on top of each other to make a sundae might not translate as nicely. Bunny head styled ice cream is a bit more manageable.

Strawberries and Granny Squares


Nothing too new here. Just more strawberries again, but now with leaves and stem attached. I did make another strawberry, not part of the 10 set, since I couldn't remember how I made the others. This one's a little different, as it as a narrower tip. Made it into a brooch/pin and stuck a little flower on since it looked a little plain without it.

Strawberry Bunches


For a special order I've made a few strawberries. I still have more to make too. 10 all together. I wasn't sure if they needed to all be the same size or what, but after seeing that they were going to be for a hat and a cardigan and whatever else, I thought to do different sizes. I'm really glad Diana asked, since it forced me to buy green yarn. And maybe she could take some fancy pictures of all the other things I've made that are now hers [action shots? this blog and the facebook page need more worn photos...]

Mini-gurumi Cherries

I found my tiny crochet hook a few days ago, and was super excited to do amigurumi in smaller scale. But sadly, I didn't have enough red to make the cherries even! I'm running low on the green too, which is a bit of a disappointment, but I'll likely restock supplies soon. Hopefully. I don't know what I'll be getting though. The past few times I used my small hook, I'd been working with embroidery floss. I'll need to see what other options I have. Although, embroidery floss does come in lots of lovely colors.

Shop Update and New Bow Size


New listings, yay! A hair bow (see above) and a new and better looking bunny head charm (below). I really do love the dusty pink...
