The Mario fridge magnets (pictured to the left) feature a question mark block, a red mushroom, a green 1up mushroom, a fire flower, a star, and a gold coin - all in fridge magnet form!
The Bubble Bobble / Bust a Move fridge magnets are also a set of six, that feature four of the enemies (including the super scary invincible white ghost that comes to get you after a certain amount of time...if you played Bubble Bobble as a child, I'm sure you were pretty scared of him, too!), and the two dragon heroes (Bub and Bob).
I hope you enjoyed viewing these as much as I enjoyed making them! More to come in the works...or if you have any requests, I can pretty much make any video game character, and I'm always happy to take custom orders! :)
I just wanted to write about a couple of new items in my Etsy shop - these fun, super geeky pen holders for your desk or office! I currently have two different ones in my shop - one is a Mario themed pen holder with Mario, along with various power-ups (mushroom, Fire Flower, invincibility star), and one is Pac-man themed with Pacman and the ghosts.
These containers are pretty versatile and can also be used to hold pretty much anything - another great use is as a toothbrush holder! Since they are constructed from Perler beads, the small holes allow for adequate drainage so they would function well as a toothbrush holder.
Hope you enjoy my newest creations!
Lostmitten.org has been officially launched! My brand new website - featuring a brand new blog about my own handmade crafts plus the work of others!
I'd really appreciate it if you'd take the time to check out my new site as well as the blog... if you're interested, be sure to bookmark the blog since chances are I will be writing there a little more than here (I'll still do my best to write at this blog as well).
I will be launching a shop there, separate from my Etsy shop, but that is not fully functional yet, "coming soon".
Hello! Just wanted to share my newest creations that I've listed in my Etsy shop today (Wednesday October 3rd)!
The first is a Multicolored Crochet Scarf. It is made from 100% Merino Wool, and has shades of red, orange, green, and purple. It is perfect for the Fall, nice autumn colors! It will keep you nice and warm - this scarf is long enough to wrap around your neck a couple of times (86" in length!). It is fashionable and functional.
The scarf and the fingerless gloves are sold separately, but would also match as a set! I have many other knit items for sale in my Etsy Shop, since it's time to start thinking about bundling up and preparing for the winter weather that will soon be coming our way!
More DS Cases! Thanks to everyone for the great response on the first two cases that I made - they both sold, so I made some more! I made three cases:
A Blue-Green Case - with chocolate and turquoise polka dot fabric lining, and an Animal Crossing button on the front
A Chocolate Brown Case - with Kawaii pig fabric lining (fabric from Kyoto, Japan) and a super cute Relax Bear button on the front
A Striped Brown and White Case - with retro-styled autumn leaf fabric lining and a cute Orange Boy Kawaii button
Just a special thank you to the positive comments I received for my One Year Anniversary of first opening my Etsy Shop, Lost Mitten! Thanks to everyone for your positive words and to all of you who participated in my first ever sale! I never anticipated that the sale would have been so popular...I certainly have my work cut out for me over the next couple of days with regards to packing everything up and shipping everything out! Those at the post office are sure going to love me...I will have to take a few trips so I don't overwhelm them :)
I also checked EtsyTools.com - a great site for tracking information on Etsy sales and site statistics - to find that I am on the top 20 most popular sellers list over the past 24 hours on Etsy! Woo! :) I also love their new "Local Sellers" feature, it's definitely worth checking out.
Thanks everyone again!! Stay tuned for next year when I'll likely have a similar sale on my 2-Year Etsyversary ;)
Indie Public is a wonderful new social networking site for independent designers and artists! It is similar to Myspace in that regard, with places to blog, groups, ways to network with other DIY'ers. Check it out, and be sure to visit my profile and add me as a friend!
I've officially entered the Myspace community by creating an account for my Etsy Shop! If you're on Myspace and you'd like to be friends, please add me! Here is the link: http://www.myspace.com/lostmittenetsy
For those of you who have experience promoting your Etsy shop with Myspace, what has your experience been like so far? I'm looking forward to also meeting some like-minded crafters!
The project measures 9" by 11" approximately, so I plan on finding a nice frame to put it in to hang up on the wall. This is the first of a whole bunch that I plan on making - scenes from my favourite video games.
I decided to create a Mario 1 needlepoint first since this game holds a special place in my heart. We first bought our NES when I was six or seven years old on a family vacation down to Florida. It was the first big vacation that my family went on and getting the Nintendo was awesome. I used to play the game with my sister and my dad, and we eventually beat the game together. Such fond memories!!!
For now, in my Etsy shop, I make much smaller versions of this craft - needlepoint patches and fridge magnets of video game characters. I plan on adding more of these to my shop soon, so stay tuned! :)
Hi everyone! This blog posting is serving more as a question: I am thinking of contributing to the Sampler - has anyone had any experience with this? Would you recommend it? Do you have any tips for me? For those of you who don't know what the sampler is, you can visit their website: it is basically a promotional tool for those who run crafty businesses to get samples of your product out there.
For those of you who have contributed, did you find it was a good experience? Did you find that you got any increased business possibly because of your contributions? Any information about your experiences would be much appreciated, thanks!
