I usu­al­ly don’t write 2 posts in one day but this is excit­ing — I final­ly set up my very own Etsy shop!!! :D :D :D

I have been want­i­ng to set up a shop since I first saw it in 2006! My friends have also been urg­ing me when­ev­er they request Christ­mas orders of cro­cheted mag­nets and pins (and by “they,” I mean Kit­ty. Would­n’t have been able to do this with­out your long-time sup­port and encour­age­ment, friend!).

And so that’s why I changed the head­er! Just want­ed it to reflect more of what I do and so it would match the shop ban­ner. I real­ly do like water­colour but I think I like cro­chet­ing plush­es more :P

Set­ting up the shop actu­al­ly took much longer than I thought — lots to think about in terms of poli­cies and ship­ping and stuff. I’m kind of ner­vous about it… will test it out to see how it goes!

So! I put up some Mon­ster­mal­low pins. The one above is one of them. I was so tempt­ed to keep one for myself… but I guess I’ll just make anoth­er one lat­er, so the shop is well-stocked!

And here are the oth­er plush­es in the shop! They’re ideas that I’ve been wait­ing to test out, like the All-Day Dim Sum.

I thought I must make the most pop­u­lar item from my pre­vi­ous designs (and by most pop­u­lar I mean my friend Kit­ty’s ordered it two years in a row) — the bok choy! For the shop I’ve made it into a set with anoth­er leafy Chi­nese veg­etable, the choy sum.

 

Mike is again a great help in set­ting up the shop. He set up the pho­to-shoot and took all the awe­some-look­ing pho­tos with his super camera!

I hope you’ll pay the shop a vis­it! :D
