One of the wonderful ladies in one of my teams from etsy decided to gather up a few swashbuckling volunteers and create a fun little scavenger hunt/treasure hunt style game.
Melissa came up with the idea she even came up with a really catchy pirate rhyme to explain the game and it's rules. To find out more about the game and how to play and have a chance at one of twelve great prizes, visit this thread

Good luck to all of you scalleywags(sp)- I say that word all the time but have never known how to spell it! lol

Long time, no see...
I am terrible sometimes about getting into a fad and then not following through with it. Myspace- been there, done that. Facebook- In and out in a flash. Twitter- still attempting to keep my sanity there.
Well, my blog was another attempt at a fad I thought. I let it drop after only a few elementary posts and am now realizing that I wish I hadn't. It is a great way really to show my personal and business life all at once. And it is hugely important to me to help promote some of the people in one of my teams from etsy. Therefore, I have to and want to pick this thing back up and dust it off. I honestly want to try. And with all of my hand written journals and diaries in the past, I would drop the habit and pick it back up over and over again. So bare with me here as I relearn, redidicate and probably redo my blog.
You know how you read certain blogs and you actually know exactly what the author means, how they felt, and such? You feel that way because they write it in a certain style that is familar to you or because they have written it in such a way to really use their rhetoric to it's fullest extent. I want to have that sort of witty and fun blog so as I stated before, there will probably be some full fledged changes.
I have been updating my shop a lot lately and for those of you who don't know, my two shops are almost completely seperated now, thank God!
You can visit my shops here
KawaiiBuddies for all things of a cute nature which are made by me
WhimsyWingsAndThings for supplies like ribbon and handmade charms
Hats are way behind in the designing department. However, I will be working on more periodically. I have just been too totally overwhelmed with my addiction to clay as of late. The good thing about that is I never stay on a medium for more than three months at a time. Someone once stated it as "I have multiple personality disorder when it comes to my crafting and art- I always changed mediums."

Forgetful as ever!
With the move and my birthday last week, and with unpacking, donating blood, and the addition of three sales within 2 days, I have been a little overwhelmed to say the least. And like nearly every time before, I forget to do something. This time, I forgot to announce who our winner for the tribble earrings is....
Ashley!
Ashley will be contacted by email and I will make the tribble earrings specifically for her!
I am thinking of a new way to do my giveaway and would love any input on rules, entry or even the giveaway prize/item that you would like to see next!
Love Always

Ahem... drumroll please
Okie dokie- so as we draw nearer to the final bits of our highly anticipated move into the house it seems as though I am even more creatively hyped up than I am usually. This means that I have drawn a ton more designs and have yet to make them. Of course once we finish the move and get things situated, I will be cranking hats out like crazy. It will probably be mid to late April when I start and will probably make a new hat per day. So here are some of the designs if you would like to see them. I would love to hear your comments and such. So could we please have a drumroll until the new hats get made? lol
And then Kon from the Bleach series- I don't know why, but this one makes me smile when I see the design. Can barely wait to see how the actual hat turns out!
Jack Skellington whom everyone loves!
Inspired by Sanrio characters. Can you guess which ones? lol
I was thinking of having a cute chocolate bunny available for the Easter season which is what inspired this little guy
Bender! Need I say more?
My cute lil devil guys
So ANGRY!!!!
Enjoy and let me know what you think! Honestly, I am an attention lover. The more comments I get, the happier I am!
So first we have Artemis and Luna hat designs from the Sailormoon Series
And then Kon from the Bleach series- I don't know why, but this one makes me smile when I see the design. Can barely wait to see how the actual hat turns out!

More hat designs but where are the actual hats?
Ok, I have been so busy packing and moving, moving and packing that I havent had a lot of time to actually create. However, I have been sketching up ideas as they pop out of my head because if I dont they will be lost forever, or atleast until I think of them again 6 months later. lol. Anyway, it will be so much easier to create in our new place so I have just put a big halt to all larger projects until that time. Atleast you can see all of my designs though and know that I have great plans!
Everyone loves M&M's
Eevee hat would be adoreable. Maybe I will design and make all of the evolutions too!
Chocobos!
Hostess Cupcakes
Heartless hat that my hubby desperately wants me to make ASAP
And I think the half eaten gingerbread man is my fave. He just looks so adoreable and...*chomp*... tasty!

Yeeesh! Exposed and Featured!
Ok, so moving has been very hectic. Enough so that I have not accomplished all that I might have wanted to since the new year began. However, I have designed, if not created several more hats that will be posted in pics at the bottom of this post.
But, more importantly, I was featured on a radio show recently, last week in fact, on a Monday night. You can listen to the show by visiting this link http://clockworkcabaret.podhoster.com/ and then clicking on the episode entitled "Hats!" Even better, I was able to contact the sisters who host/DJ the show and they agreed to do a couple of giveaways for me, and promote my shop a little more. Their shows can be listened to via web stream on Mondays nights at 11pm EST to 2amEST http://www.communityradio.coop/ For me that starts at 10pm. It is a little late at night for some but you can always listen to the recorded podcast http://clockworkcabaret.podhoster.com/ at a later time of your convenience. Anyway, the first of the two giveaways was tonight and the second contest was announced tonight, however contestants will have until next Monday night to design and send in artwork of any kind for the hosts' new imaginary band. You can listen to details on the podcast for March 2nd-3rd when it comes out if you are interested in participating.
This is super duper cool for me because I have yet to be featured solely anywhere. I have recently been in quite a few treasuries which is nice, but I haven't really been in the spotlight any. So, I was very excited about it and still am. lol I would really appreciate it if everyone would check it out and help to spread the word a little via blog, twitter, forums, word of mouth, whatever. I would love the extra exposure right now!
And here are the pics:
The mummy hat will be done in a sandy off white color. And the Octopus is for a custom order but will probably still be posted in the shop in case anyone else likes him! ^_^ Let me know what you think please!
