Candy Owling...

There's a new Owling in town! This is the Candy Owling. Made out of super soft pink faux fur and she it super duper adroable!!! <3 Available in the Etsy shop as you probably know by now ;)

Whitee...

Finally I got to create something new! It's been two stressful weeks but now we have finally landed and things are starting to calm down a bit. We will be on the move in about 1 month again though so no rest for the wicked. But until then I hope to get time to work on Tomo. I've finally managed to get enough money saved to get a table at London Comic Con this October and am super excited about it. I will spend the next 4 weeks working on getting my stock up for the Convention, so there will be many hours of sewing. I also plan to make Halloween limited edition cases for the convention and will show you more of what my plans are when I get to it. This means that there won't be much new stuff going up in the shop until I've been to London. I'm sure there will be a few newcomers since I can't stay away from making new stuff but I can't promise anything.

Anyway, I've had a few emails coming my way from people asking about a white version of Blackie. So here we are, originally enough I decided  to call him Whitee (>.<) hehe. And you can find him in my Etsy shop as always.

Geeky and the Hipster Yeti...

Here's Geeky and the Hipster Yeti! I made them both yesterday and the Hipster Yeti was a real hand-full haha. It was hard to get the glasses on there but they did end up sticking in the end and he came out just as snooty and cool as I'd planned.

As for Geeky, he's basically just a different version of Snowy, and in fact he is Snowy's cousin.

Available in my Etsy shop as usual!

Chibi Owlings...

Miiiiiii! Aren't they the cutest? I've been asked a few times about my old Mr and Mrs Hoot if you can remember them. I decided a while back that I wouldn't make any more cases completely out of felt since I think that the fur is more durable. Anyway, I've been thinking of making new owls for a while and over the weekend my brain has been over-loaded with ideas and these little cuties were just one of them.

So yesterday I made a pattern and here they are! Available in my Etsy shop as usual.

Three Cyclopses...

Yesterday I finally had enough of the waiting. Yes I am STILL waiting for the safety eyes I ordered more than 3 weeks ago. I need them to make more cases and since I have tuns of big eyes I thought I'd just make Cyclopses instead. And so I did. So this is Kuma, Mi-Hoo and Zed. The three newcomers to the Yeti family. They came out way better than I thought they would and I am proud to include them in my collection. Hope you like em'!!!

You can find them in my Etsy shop as usual, just click the images to take you to the right shop section!

The past week...

The past week has been busy indeed. I finally have all the time I need to work on Tomo. I get deeper and deeper into the world of my own business and I love every hour, every minute and every second of it. I decided about three months ago that I would never make iPod cases again. This was when I got overwhelmed with work. I had to many cases to do and along with that I had a degree to finish. It wasn't fun any more and I thought that it was not worth it. So I stopped, and focused on my degree instead. I realize first now that it wasn't the fact that I had to many cases to do, but the fact that I had to finish my degree that took the fun out of what I normally loved doing. I have now made 6 new ipod case designs and also had a few orders through and I love making them again and all of a sudden I have decided to focus really hard on making these a success. I feel that they are very original, but not only that, the love and dedication that goes in to these little sweeties is beyond anything I've experienced before. I hope it doesn't sound crazy, but each one of them holds a special place in my heart. And it is that feeling that has made me realize that I could do this for the rest of my life and probably be the happiest woman on earth.

I have pushed Tomo allot since I finished my degree and I have now managed to get in to two shops, one local business here in Swansea, and an online business too. I will tell you more about it once the items are up in the online shop and I want to take some photos of the shop that supplies my jewellery in town. So there will be a whole blog entry about that next week at some point.

Anyway, there will be more ipod cases in the next coming month. Right now I've got all the fur and felt I need, but I am waiting for two orders, one from Asia and one from America. I have ordered tuns of lovely safety eyes in many vibrant colours. I seriously can't find a good wholesaler here in the UK so I have no other choice but to turn to other countries.

I also have other plans, which will be announced once all my orders have been delivered to me.

Alsooooo I've designed new packaging for the iPod/iPhone cases. I don't know when I'll be able to have them made up but hopefully in not to long. Here is the design anyway, front and back:

Hope you like it!

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!

Toothless...

It has been a very looooong day! This little fella has given me grief all day but now he is finally finished. The paint haven't dried yet though as you might see on the close-up hehe. Anyway, this is Toothless, the dragon from "How to train your dragon" and he is my first custom order. It as nice to have something new to do and also great with a challenge, cause it really was a challenge. There is black fluff all over my apartment now and there was times where I nearly gave up. It is just so hard to work with all the tiny bits and pieces that goes in to something like this. If it was for an iPad or something similar it'd probably been easier. Although, I am very very happy with the final result and I hope the buyer will be too. Now I got 2 more yetis to make and another custom order, a big Igor for an iPad. Seem today will be a late one. Hoped to have at least 3 done by now hahaha....  

Ah well time to clean up the mess and carry on.... (make another mess).
By the way, sorry that I haven't uploaded anything new this week. I have just been to busy to make anything new. But hopefully the necklaces will be here soon...

Baby BooBoo...

This is BooBoo! I am making a new range of Yeties. Baby Yeties! I thought they'd look really cute and they did. So here's the first one. His name is BooBoo and he is a super happy little thing. Most baby Yetis are super happy, thats why they grow up to be so grumpy. They just use all that happiness when they're babies. Poor things....

BooBoo is available in my Etsy shop as always.

Grubb...

Today everything is back to normal again, thank god for that. Had a small heart attack yesterday when my computer died on me. It is working better than ever now so it probably needed a good sorting through. Anyway, this is Grubb. Tomo's new Yeti edition. Aint he cute! I wanted to try out new eyes and this is what they look like. Please tell me what you think if you got any thoughts about them. I think they bring so much character to him. I won't use them on all the yeti cases, only for the once I want to look a bit sleepy hehe.
You can find him in my Etsy shop as usual.
