Datchis here, Datchis there, Datchis EVERYWHERE!

Good Morning peoples! I've spent the past two days making these little sweeties. I spend a whole day designing them and probably a whole day photographing them. I wanted something a little bit different from Tomodachi Islands normal Yeties so I decided to make a Yeti/Owling hybrid. So these are the Datchis!

 I started out with some rough drawings as I always do when it comes to designing new phone sleeves. They more or less always come out very differently from the drawings but it is good to know what you're doing before you set out cutting and sewing.

Once that is done I draw up the patterns I'm going to need. I keep a little box in my crafting cupboard with loads of paper cuttings of old and new patterns. You never know when you might need to use them again.

 Needles and thread....

And some fabric paint and we're all good to put these little cuties together... And here's how they came out:

 The Pink DATCHIS!

 Pink Fluffy Datchi with a present (present does not come with the sleeve ;))

 Hard Case Pink DATCHI! Yes yes oh yes, Tomodachi Island has now got it's first hard case! Woop woop for that! And she is just as cute as the fluffy Datchi!

 And here's a little snap shot of them all together.

And a little photo from yesterdays photo shoot. I an hurting today. It is not easy to crawl around on the floor trying to take nice pictures when you got a massive preggie belly in the way lol. But I think they came out alright in the end and also, the lounge has to the best natural light in the house. So it was worth it :D

A messy desk and some drawings...

 Happy Monday everyone! Yup, new week, new adventures. For me it is loaded with work work work. I wanted to have some new drawings for you today as I started my Sunday with drawing. Unfortunately I ended up with a terrible stomach cramp and weren't able to sit up right. Let's just say I spent most of Sunday horizontally on the couch in front of Grand Designs on 4OD.

 I did however manage to finish of a few drawings. These are to be designs for the iPhone cases and also I wanted to draw all of the characters you can find on Tomodachi Island and make iPhone cases out of them as well.

 So I have started that process that might be a bit of a long one. I love drawing them as I can give them more character and I also plan give you a more detailed introduction of each one of them when they're finished.

 A little photo of my toys that still need a shelf of their own as they're not safe where they are :'(

 I did some test prints of these two during the weekend and they came out lovely too. I am so in to making patterns at the moment that I have to force myself in to doing other things too...

Also need to order some new fur today as the stock is running low. For some reason I got loads of pink though. Seem to never run out of that....
Plans for this week is to get more stock in and to create new stuff for Tomodachi Island as mobiLOVE has had most of my attention lately.
What are your plans for the week???

Nichi Rabbit...

FINALLY! Something new for you guys! I am so happy that I finally found the time to make something new. There is allot I want to do but money is short on the ground at the moment, so I just have to take it a little step at a time. I am trying to save up for a big batch of new fabric that will be like nothing you have ever seen before. But I do need quite a bit of money to sort this out so trying to save.
Anyway this fabric I got a while back and I have one more case coming for you as well. However it didn't come out the way I wanted it to so I will get back to the drawing board today and see what changes I can make.

As for now this is Nichi in a Rabbit suit. I always loved Nichi's face and she has been very popular in the shop so I thought it was time for a little make-over. And after I did the Easter Buggle I fell in love with those cute rabbit ears so I thought that they would look super cute on a phone sleeve too. So here we are! You can find Nichi Rabbit in the Etsy shop as always.

The Brown Raccoon Bumble...

He got out of the cage this morning. But I did catch him in the end, as he tried escaping through the window.
This is the Brown Raccoon Bumble. He is super cheeky and very hard to keep in line, as you've seen. Like other Bumbles he catches poltergeists, but this one is a little bit of an expert in the area. His hyper-active nature makes him the poltergeist hunter PRO! So if you got a tough poltergeist in your house the Brown Raccoon Yeti is the one to go for.

You can find him in my Etsy shop!

The Pluffs and the Bumble Yeti...

Another little update on these dudes. They're now available in my Etsy shop! You can find the Pluffs (the small ones HERE (white) and HERE (brown) and you can find the big Bumble Yeti HERE.

Also I started this little monster yesterday although I was not happy with his horns so I am heading in to town now to get some lime green felt to give him some huge horns... More about him tomorrow probably! <3

Hotcher and Flyn...

Today Hotcher and Flyn has joined the Tomo Yeti Family. I just adore these two and it was great to work with top quality fur. I am staying to quite earthy colours, I don't know why really, but they are more appealing to me and it is really hard to find good quality fur that is colourful over here. I've become much pickier with the fur I use and I don't think that is making it any easier to find colourful pieces. But I am sure I will come across something one day, until then I will stick with these thick and super soft furs. Hope you like em'!

 We also have two new comers!!! This is Igor Jr and Snowy! You can find them in my Etsy shop! Just click the pictures and they will take you to the specific shop section!!!

I give to you... YETI CASE 2.0!!!

Oh yes!!! They are back!!! I've spent the past few days re-designing the iPod/iPhone cases. The now got safety eyes instead of pearls and I must say they look a hundred times cuter this way. Also the inside has been re-designed. I was never happy with the inside of the old ones but couldn't figure out any other way to do it. But the other day it hit me. I created like a pouch that you can turn inside out. Not only does this hide the ugly seems on the inside, but you can also clean the inside. This looks so much better and my designs have gone from OK to PERFECT! I am so happy with them now, and am even happier to have them back in my shop.

I will be taking Pre-Orders on these ones. This means that I will post up 5 at a time and ship them 7-8 days later. So if you want one with this first batch you better hurry up! More designs will come within the next few weeks. YEEEEEEY!
