Huge Update, Obviously

It has been over a year since my last post and everything has changed.

My Etsy Shop FreakyCuteKreations is doing great! This last Christmas was my second Christmas with my shop and I had to close it down because I was getting more orders than I could fill. It makes me happy to realize that I'm not the only person who enjoys my creations.

Now for the things that are different in my life. Well, Sasquatch (Jay) and I broke up, I got an apartment instead of a house, started dating my current boyfriend, after 9 months of dating I moved in with him, and we just picked out an engagement ring, I also started a new job 3 months ago doing Java programming, so lots of changes, but all for the best.

My life last year was crazy busy and my blog got neglected and I apologize. This year I want to post at least once a week and post more tutorials. I have a few custom orders that I did over Christmas that I would love to show you and I have a few new stuffies in the works that I think you guys might like. If there is anything you would like to see or something you would like me to create, send me a message or comment below.

Love,

Update

Wow I can't believe that it has been almost a month since my last post. Well my Etsy shop has been open for a month now and I have been busy filling orders. I told myself that if I could get 4 orders I would be so happy and I have gotten over 10 orders so far. I would like to thank everyone who has supported my shop in any way. Even if it is just adding my shop or my shops items to your favorites. Besides being busy filling orders, work has kept me pretty busy with a bunch of end of the year renewals and other such nonsense.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, I know I did. Part of my Christmas present was a plane ticket down to Jacksonville, Florida to visit my Aunt, Uncle, and Cousin for Thanksgiving. They usually come up to St. Louis to celebrate, but for the last two years we have been going down there. (which is so much more fun 70 degrees as opposed to 32 degrees) Last year we drove down in a car too small to fit everyone comfortably so I needless to say I was more than thrilled to fly down this year.

I have been working on an awesome custom order and once I'm done I will post it.

Update

Well my Etsy shop has been open for a little over a week and I have sold 2 stuffies, so I am more than excited. I am also creating a new stuffie to go into my shop and I still need to finish up that baby blanket that I feel will never end. So stay tuned for a new creation and here is a little hint of what I am working on.

Thanks,

Halloween Part Deux

So like I was talking about before, me and Sasquatch have a few Halloween traditions. Every year we go to one Halloween party and that is Bill's Halloween Party. Bill is my best friends brother and his parties are always fun. This year Sasquatch was Michael Meyers and I was Raphael from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles we bought his costume and I made mine. I would have uploaded photos by now, but I didn't take any and the people who did have not uploaded them either. So here is a pic of my friends dressed up as The Real Housewives.

Yes, the one on the far left is a man, Gabe dressed as Countess Luanne, Sammie is Ramona, Alex is Caroline, and Michelle is Lisa. They are holding Snyder's Pretzels because they sponsor Watch What Happens Live and of course Ramona has her Pinot Grigio. The Halloween party was a lot of fun and I can't wait until next year. I just hope that next year Gabe doesn't drink too much and attempts to climb a tree, again!

Finally, on Halloween Sasquatch, me, and my best friend Erica handed out candy and watched horror movies. We decided to watch the original Fright Night since we not too long ago watched the remake in theaters (which was pretty good). I saw some really cute costumes and some costumes that looked like they just threw on something last minute (older kids, not from my neighborhood). We got a ton of complements on our pumpkins and I was just excited to relax, watch movies, and eat candy after working all day.

I hope your Halloween was as awesome as mine was. Now, I can't wait until next year because I will finally have my own house and I can decorate the crap out of it.

Etsy Shop

Well I finally did it, I took the plunge and finally opened my Etsy shop. You can check out my creations at FreakyCuteKreations.etsy.com, now I'm just scared that no one will buy anything. Well to entice people I have created a coupon for free shipping until November 12th. The coupon code is Nessie so at the very least check out what I put in there and maybe tell your friends about it. Thank you for your continued support and now I need to go create some more creatures to put in my brand new shop, excited.

Halloween

Sasquatch and I have been together for over 3 years and our favorite holiday is Halloween and because of this we have a few traditions. Every year we go to at least one haunted house, we carve pumpkins, we go to Bill's Halloween Party, and if Bill's Halloween party is not on Halloween we hand out candy and watch horror movies. Sadly, this year we did not have the time to go to the pumpkin patch and ride the hayride and pick our pumpkins from the field like we usually do. So we went to our friendly local owned garden shop and picked the best pumpkins we could find.  Last year I did The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters and Sasquatch did Michael Meyers. This year we did these.

 Sasquatch loves Ghostface, and after doing Michael Meyers last year and Freddy the year before, it only seemed fitting.

I of course did Jaws. As soon as I saw the pattern I didn't need to see any others. I love Jaws so much I seriously watch it all the time and never get tired of it. I loved that it was basically the movie cover with Jaws coming up from the bottom to eat the woman swimming on the surface. Pumpkin Carving checked off the Traditions List.

Last weekend we went to The Darkness with Brandon, his girlfriend Jessica, and Paul. I love The Darkness it is rated one of the best in the country, what I like about it is it is long so I feel like I am getting my monies worth and the scenes in the haunted house are awesome, they literally have a scene for every scary thing you can think of i.e. butcher shop, morgue, swamp, etc. It is basically 2 haunted house in one because they have a 3D section at the end with black-lights and 3D glasses, if you hate clowns then the 3D part is for you, it is all fun house/carnival/circus themed. When the haunted house is over it leads you to the monster museum, which has old toys and status of famous creatures like The Creature from the Black Lagoon, Predator, even Satan...

Haunted House crossed off Traditions List.

Stay Tuned for Halloween Part Deux

Craftster Hoodie Swap

Well, the Hoodie Swap is finally over, I sent Errka her hoodie last week so she should have either received it yesterday or today. I always love doing the Hoodie Swap because it gives me a chance to paint, which I don't do very often and it gives me a kick-ass hoodie to wear. So I received my Hoodie from Errka on Friday. I don't remember what themes I put down, but this is what I received.

Brain Zipper Pull and super long purple ribbons for the hood.

On the back is the coolest Zombie Cupcake Creature, needless to say I really haven't stopped wearing it since I got it.

I sent this

The rope around the picture on the back of the hoodie didn't come out as perfect as I wanted it to, but it didn't turn out to bad for freehand. As you can see I HAD to add a shark fin mostly because I LOVE sharks and because it added to the painting. I hope she loves it and I can't wait to hear her reaction.

Now that I have finished all my swaps the only thing left is to finish my friend's sisters baby blanket and get my Etsy shop up and running. I want everything to go as smoothly and as perfect as possible and I want to have enough different creatures to choose from and I think that is part of the reason why it is taking me so long. I would rather it take me a little longer and people to actually order my items then to just toss up a shop put in 3 creations and hope for the best. I think it is also because I graduated with a business degree, so I'm trying to do it right and have my logo done and my stock up and ready. So hopefully very, very soon you will actually see my shop up and running and *fingers crossed* hopefully buy my creations.

Love,
