More new Patterns coming soon!! Sneak Peek

I know I said I show you my new goodies, but wedding prep and other work has kept me quite occupied these last few days. What I do have for you is a peek at my two newest creations and a redo of an old pattern.
Also I snagged a cute little desk at the salvation army for a dollar and gave it a face lift, which of course meant a much needed overhaul of my craft space.

Here's my very snuggly turtle, who makes a surprisingly good pillow.

And my favorite Halloween critter yet, my baby bat :)

And the redone Jellyfish Scarf. The scarf itself hasn't changed, but it's one of the first pattern's I've ever wrote and going back to it, it was rough. It'll be given a overhaul of more than just the photos like I was planning.

My new desk before:

And after:

I'll getting some cute knobs and probably refacing the drawers, but's the perfect size and totally worth the dollar.

And the new craft space

work still to be done

the plushies  I haven't managed to give away

Introducing Septimus

Our newest Crab, he's quite a love and likes to walk in circles around your hand until you're both dizzy :)

And a real quick list of my current projects:

1. Re working all of my patterns (layouts, better photos make sure there aren't any errors, etc.)

2. I'm working up a yeti pattern

3. finishing touches on my first few embroidery patterns (three I think :)

4. packaging up my daughter's v-day care package (last minute I know, thankfully for a small fortune it can be overnighted to arrive only one day late)

5. crocheting up a little heart plushie for previously mentioned care package (pattern will be available for free here on V-day

6. dropping dead from exhaustion :)

Long time no post

SO I have had a crazy hectic couple of weeks, sorry about the lack of posting. I moved my B/F down here only to find he'd rather be up north, so we packed up and moved yesterday (well everything but me til monday) I've got a new pattern up in my shop

and I'm working on halloween stuff soon, so check back in a week or two and if there isn't anything new on here I give you my permission to poke me with a big stick :)

Market Bag Pattern Available Now!

At last after days of distraction and just plain laziness I have finished the pattern, worked out all the kinks (knock on wood) and now have a shiny new listing on at my etsy shop for these gorgeous and super fun bags.
This picture just makes me laugh, we have almost no food in the house right now, and our local market was closed so in order to illustrate it's holding capacity i used open cereal boxes and spotty bananas....needless to say I did not use this photo on my etsy listing :)

My first Artfire Sale!!!!!

Yay! I've been signed up for a couple of weeks without any sales, but today not only did I get a sale but a request to make a pattern. I'm so excited I squealed and did a happy dance.
Just to show you what Artfire is (in case you didn't know)

Visit Voodoomaggie's ArtFire Shop

It's similar to etsy, but probably a lot cheaper.
somehow I don't think it looks like it should so check the side bar it'll be over there too

Stress and Twitchy Eyes

So I've been more determined than ever to make new patterns, only I was trying to rush the process and ended up disliking the poor defenseless plushes. It's not their fault and I'll find my way back to them I'm sure but for now we need a break, It's not them it's me. We can still be friends. I swear my eyes don't twitch when I look in your general direction, its just allergies. Honest. :)

Someone did offer to buy the rights to my patterns, which while flattering is not going to happen. When it comes to my creations I turn into gollum and they become my precious. Still my ego likey and it lets me know i must be doing something right. So forward march, nose to the grindstone and all that blather. Here's the newest plush I'm working on, his pattern will be available soon.


And here are the discarded plushes that make my eyes twitch with unhappiness.


And for my next trick ladies and gentlemen, I shall pull a rabbit out of a hat...wait wrong line. I'm going to attempt to make a time lapse movie of a mini crocheted bear being made. We'll cross our fingers and toesies just in case :)

Monkeys for charity

So I've been comissioned by Gorbella's to crochet ten of my Sweet Monkeys for a fundraiser. Yay! I'm so excited I busy working on them right now (between tpying). It's an excellent orginization and I think every town should something like it, so give them a hand : either make a donation or get them something from their wishlist. Or start a group like it in your area.

The pattern for these cuties can be found here : Voodoo Maggie's Etsy Shop
