Stylish and functional art for your desk, these cardholders will hold plenty of your business cards! One is made to look like television color bars - a familiar design for anyone who watches TV! Great for all television addicts out there! The other one is made to look like a piano keyboard, great for musicians and music-lovers!
You can find both of them at my Etsy shop: TV Color Bar Cardholder, Piano Keyboard Cardholder
I modeled this box after the Mario Question Mark block ones that I've been creating for the past while. It measures approximately 3" across each side and it is 3-dimensional. It has a lid on the top that lifts off and the lid has two layers to allow it to fit snugly on top. The sides of the cube are all glued together with sturdy contact cement.
The Rubix Cube is "accurate" to the original - meaning that it is not only the correct colors, but the correct amount of each color :) This little keepsake box can be used to store just about anything, and would be a super cute addition to your desk or shelf!
I have been very busy lately coming up with brand new ideas for my shop, which I will be posting over the next few days! The first brand new original item that I have created is made from Perler Beads, and is a new take on my Question Mark Keepsake Box ... this time with a new twist!
And here it is! The Question Mark Keepsake Box with Interchangeable Powerups!
This keepsake box comes with interchangeable power-ups to attach to the top of the box! Each power-up can stick inside the top of the box lid - there is a Red Mushroom, a Green 1UP Mushroom, a Fire Flower, a Coin, and an Invincibility Star. You can display the box normally without the power-ups with the question mark to the front, or flip the box around to the side where it looks like Mario has already hit the block, and place a power-up in the top of the lid! This is a versatile keepsake box with six different looks in total!
As for the box itself, it is made to look like a Question Mark Block from the Super Mario games for the Nintendo. It has a lid on the top that has two layers - the second layer allows the lid to fit snugly on top of the box. You can keep anything inside this box (it would be great for your gold coins!) and it would look great on any desk, shelf, bedroom, office, you name it!
I hope you enjoy my newest geeky creation! I'll be posting more very soon, too!
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 ;)
