Yey!!!!
I haven't posted for ever because I've been crafting, carafting, crafting!

Daughter and Mother set

I made this set on special request for my friend Caro and her daughter Camille. How I had not thought of that blows my mind, what a great idea!
I hope they will both enjoy the set! What little girl doesn't want to wear the same things as her mommy? :)

Cross stitched Gingerbread man ornament

Since we've decided to NOT hang our very large glass ornaments this year, we were kind of running out of ornaments for our tree. I made a few simple felt hearts, and this cute gingerbread man that I cross stitched for Gabe. It's funny he's always trying to grab that one ornament, he must know it's his :)

Handmade ornaments for Grandma JeRena

I made these two felt heart ornaments for JeRena, one's for her granddaughter Imari, and the other one for her grandson Gabe :) Both names are cross stitched and I've sewed buttons on both hearts: Peter Rabbit for Gabe and a heart for Imari (who well deserves tons of hearts!!!)

New items for my showcase today!

I am trying new shapes: round and square rings, beautiful, along with a matching bracelet. All the bases are in sterling silver, purchased from Polymerclayexpress.

My first jewelry showcase on Etsy!!!

Cherry Blossom Geisha Bunneez

I've just finished these new bunnies, just in time to put them up in my shop on black Friday! I'm so inspired by everything Japanese, I needed to make something with cherry blossoms. I'm very happy with the way the dolls turned out, they are as pretty as can be. Collector's items! And you can collect them all :P By the way, free shipping to the US and Canada for the holidays! Check out my store!

It's my birthday!!!

Actually it was yesterday.
Shad got me a silk screen printing set, I've been dying with curiosity on how it works, and the endless possibilities to make crazeecrafteez tshirts, pouches, and tons of other stuff... Our house is NOT big enough for all this!

Crazee Ghostly Bunneez of all kinds

These are part of my shop, I think people like them a lot, I always get good feedback, they're soft, look different and a little crazy... Which is the point! It's too bad it's so hard working with mink, or should I say, so messy... Babies love them, that's what matters. What wouldn't we do for our babies!!

Fairy Tulle Necklace

I crocheted tulle to make this airy light necklace on which I added Swarovski crystals to add some sparkle. I'm very happy with the result!

I'm selling!

I've sold more than I thought for this first week of CrazeeCrafteez. The opening of the Etsy store was a success, it makes me happy and want to do so much more! I'm also going to work on postcards to broaden my advertising. This is where I am not good at - at ALL! Remember to spread the word!!!

Crazee Bunny for Andrew

I made this bunny for Andrew to wish him a quick recovery from his eye surgery. My poor little boubou. But he's a brave little boy, and still smiling and running around. He seems to love crazee bunny, as I'm sure crazee bunny loves him too! Plus he's so sooooft :)
I need to make many of those and put them up on Etsy. Only problem, I'm running out of this amazing fleece that I use to make paws, ears, butts with...

New curtains in the master bedroom

After approximately 8hrs of intense work, finally, here are our new curtains, made from scratch, with my little hands. Some what rewarding, although it clearly wasn't what I enjoyed doing the most!!! We still need to find some hooks to hold the fabric back, but we're ready to "move in" now!

I made this poncho/ghost outfit for Gabe for Halloween, out of a yard and a half of fabric and a little felt, and little ribbon, a lot of stitching :) You can't tell but there's also a spiderweb on his left shoulder. Just the cutest thing (my baby :))

New pillows for our TV room sofa

I made those pillows with the amazing fabrics I found at the quilt store on W.Anderson Lane. That store just makes me dizzy. I love the different patterns all mixes together, it turned out great.

Here's a cross stitched pillow for Gabe, he loves his Chococat plush (who wouldn't?!). I looked for a pattern and found this one on line: http://www.geocities.com/lullaby_lambie/
I replicated it so that I would have the classic black, a turquoise (own personal fave) and an orange chococat. Looks very pretty and cozy and it's in Gabe's bed now. Highly populated bed :)

I just finished my first ring. Made with Fimo polymer clay and mounted on a silver sterling deep-welled ring from Amate. I added 3 little Swarovski crystals on top. And, voila!! One more pretty ring for my collection!

This is a little wall hanging that I made for Gabe's room with Fimo clay. I made the animals with cookie cutouts and rolled faux wood logs and beads. Looks very pretty and bright and colorful, and amuses Gabe a lot. That's the whole point. To keep him entertained :)

I made this painting for Gabe's bedroom, to hang above his crib. He's been grabbing everything that we hung too close for his reach, he broke his crib mobile and was always going for a wall hanging too. So, there was nothing above his bed for a week or so, which made me sad. So I made this for him, and he loves it, loves the bright colors. I was very inspired by "Ange Lapin", so cute :)
