Its sad for me to say this but, I am closing the Etsy store. It was not meeting my needs. I will be selling the items that were in my Etsy store on my blog, through Pay Pal. If you are interested you can e-mail at mandysocrafty@gmail.com.

Recent craftiness

I have been madly working since October on many crafty creations. I don't have pictures of everything but here are a few.

This is Zombie Sock Monkey. He was a gift for a friend who is a huge fan of the show the Walking Dead. This was a fun project and I hope to make him some cousins in the future.

My next order of business was hats. I have probably made 15 hats to date. I don't have pictures yet of some of them because I gave them as gifts before I photographed them, hopefully the recipients will get them to me soon. Here are a few:

This is a horse, you cannot see her ears but trust me its a horse.

 

Baby elf hat, well enough said, they are just dang cute.

 

It's Mario!

And Luigi!

Owl Hats!

I am still making hats and other crafts. I will post more crafty goodness soon.

Halloween Craftiness!

My Anaya wanted me to make her a black cat. She found a design she liked in a book I have "The Cuter Book" by Aranzi Aronzo. (see below)

This pattern is about 3 inches tall in the book. She wanted a cat that was 2 feet tall. So I drew on my inner artist and made a pattern. I think it turned out pretty well. Please welcome Smiley, the one and only cat that will ever live in the Miller household. She will be prominently displayed with our Halloween decorations this year. 

Stretch Your Stamps Day 12 Combining Stamps

Once again this card class has made me think of my stamps in a different way. I enjoyed taking my sentiment stamp and pairing it with this arrow stamp for the background. I really enjoyed the class and it sparked so many ideas for cards. I cannot wait to make more cards.

Stretch Your Stamps Day 10 Border Stamps

I do not have a lot of border stamps but I did try to use the few I had. I found that using them on a smaller piece instead of the whole card worked out better for me.

Stretch Your Stamps Day 9 Outline stamps

I have a fair number of outline stamps but I decided to pull out stamps I had not used before. I love these animal stamps so I just had to make a baby card with them. I also loved that I got to use water colors to color the animals, so much fun.
