The last two weeks or so, I've had this crazy obsession with shrinking down all my animal patterns. Why you ask? Because the smaller the animal, the cuter the animal!!
I have realized this week that it has been far too long since I last wrote a blog post. It has been a very busy summer. Spent my time getting my etsy shop blooming and working on tons new animals. Not to mention enjoying the beautiful summer weather!

My most recent animal! The Flamingo. I received this pattern as a birthday gift. (My friends know me well...) This is probably one of the more difficult patterns from Funky Friends Factory that I have. It took me well over a few hours to figure out. Thank goodness Pauline has a step by step tutorial for this beautiful bird! It was a huge help! You can also purchase this pattern on her website!
Hello Everyone! Sorry it has been awhile. :) I have been super busy! TONS of new things are happening. I finally opened my new etsy shop! Whole new design, and new name!
It's the Little Things #3: SnapChatOh Snapchat.
For those of you who do not know what SnapChat is...let me inform you quickly. It's an app designed to communicate back and forth with pictures. Essentially those pictures disappear after a set amount of seconds, ranging from 1-10. You can never see them again and they don't get saved. You can save your own pictures if you wish, but through the app, you can not save the other person's picture. UNLESS.... you use screenshot. As my besties have discovered... My day is spent trying to figure out how to send the weirdest, funniest, ugliest pictures and videos of myself to my friends. And they return the favor. SnapChat is this little things thursday because these silly little pictures bring so much laughter and fun into my daily life. I can be busy at work dealing with difficult patients and suddenly glance at my phone, pull up snapchat, and there is my best friend looking as crazy as can be and I can't help but laugh. I often get very weird glances. Which is reasonable. I would look at someone weird too if they suddenly bursted out laughing or giggled to themselves. Even worse, getting caught taking the ugly picture tends to create awkward situations... Once you see some of these... you will understand why... I can't believe that it has been one year this month since I started my blog! Blows my mind just how much it has grown. I never in my life thought that my first blog would reach over 26,000 unique hits in one year! To me that is... just so amazing. I am truly blessed. I go on Pinterest and I noticed something of mine pinned here and there. Still is sort of surreal. I am no where near a "popular" blog, nor do I write one in hopes that it would become a huge hit. I just write to basically write. I hope that I can lend a helping hand to at least a few people. Give them an insight to my craft world. :)
Last month my older sister had her baby shower, along with her younger sister. (Sort of confusing I know.) They had a joint babyshower since they were due so close to eachother. I was super excited. I always love the chance to make things for people. (Oh and of course for having a new nephew on the way! ^_^ ) But, because at that time I was working 60+ hours a week between my two jobs, I didn't have time to actually make anything. :(
So what do I do? Go crazy cram crafting! I made all this in less than 24 hours. Excluding the lion which I had made months ago and just didn't have anyone to give it to until now. I went shopping for the materials and sewed everything the Friday before the babyshower. Which was hectic. My little sister, Jessie, and I had to leave that friday afternoon to drive the 4 hours south to where my sister lives. That cut my time even more. |
