The Albino Blip Bunny...

"This is the Albino Blip Bunny. It lives deep under the snow in the arctics and is very rarely seen. The only way to know that it is there is by listening for its blip sounding warning calls. It is said that the Albino Blip Bunny posses magical powers, but nobody knows what these magical powers might be. It might be up to you to find out?!"

You can find this cutie in my Etsy shop as always! <3

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 ;)

The Forest Owling...

 Number two in the line of newcomers this week. This is the Forest Owling. I just love this one, definitely my favourite Owling. He comes in a brown/grey wolfy fur with beige felt feature. You can find it in my Etsy shop as always.

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!
