Happy Weekend!

I've been busy, busy keeping up with my custom orders for August.  Here's a peek at a set of wedding cake toppers that I just finished up:

Hee hee!

I also have a couple of things to share:

***I'm currently accepting medium and small sponsors for the month of September.  If you are interested, please email sponsorskunkboy@gmail.com for more information.

***I'm clearing out all of my Skunkboy t-shirts left in the Etsy shop to make way for new ones (half price, baby!), so if you'd like to snatch one for yourself or a friend, now is a great time!

***I'm featured over on the Pretty Little Mustache blog today!  :)

Monday, Monday!

I love Monday.  :)  Okay, so maybe you don't hear that too often, but I really do.  Mondays are really good for me.  Today is no exception.  You can find a pretty feature on my little animals over at the Drifter and the Gypsy blog.  That blog is so lovely and inspirational, and I am honored to be seen there.

Also, my sweet friend Elsie is having a blog party until Midnight.  You'll see wonderful guests, giveaways, and DIYs.  You should definitely check it out!  You'll also see me!  Check over at noon for a cute DIY from me.

Remember that I'd love to have all craft swap crafts shipped out today.  If for some reason you are unable to get shipped out today, please let your partner know, and email me at skunkboylove@yahoo.com.  Also, don't forget to join our Flickr group.  We are getting some pretty projects posted over there!

I'm (hopefully) planning another shop update on Friday, complete with narwhals, more cupcakes, and other surprises!  Check back at noon for a little giveaway!!!   xoxo Katie

People I Admire

I was stopping by a couple of blogs this evening, and I thought I'd share a few people I admire and am inspired by.  Most of them will be plush artists, for obvious reasons, but there are so many people making beautiful art in many forms.

Abigail Brown

Her owls and birds are just AMAZING.  She is one of my absolute favorites. 

Astulabee

Nicole makes the most gorgeous everything, but especially deer busts.  I will own one someday.  I promise.  ;)

Scrumptious Delights

Eeeep!  Becky's plushies are so cute I almost can't stand it!!!

Misako Mimoko

Eva makes the most classically pretty/cute little friends.  I think I love everything she comes up with.

Also, if you happen to stop by a bookstore soon, you can find my very own Skunkboy Creatures in Stuffed Magazine.  It seemed relevant, you know, since we are talking plush right now.  ;)

It's really neat to see your work in print.  I love it.  :)

I'm planning a shop update (for real, this time) this week.  I haven't decided on the day yet, but I will keep you posted.  I will have a couple of special edition owls, little necklaces, and maybe a new (and exciting!) feature.  Have a lovely night, everyone.  I'm getting these fingers to work.  xoxo Katie

Oh Happy... Week

This week has been crazy busy... but crazy good.  We've had multiple birthday parties and multiple house guests.  I'm (hopefully) finishing up all swap partners (Don't panic if you haven't gotten yours.  It's coming.)  tonight and then relaxing with my Mr.  I think I need it before we have more house guests tomorrow. :)

Check out pretty James' blog, if you haven't already.  She's doing round 2 of Show and Tell, and it's so fun to read!

You'll find me over there showing off my favorite record.  :)

(Oh, and this boy got a MUCH needed haircut tonight!)

And, I promise to be back with more outfits (I need a name for this new blogging venture, I think... suggestions are welcome) and pictures from my week.  For now, it's resting time.  I luff you.  Katie

Show and Tell

So, my friend James had the best idea ever. All of those fun collections and special things you have around your house, well, she's doing a little bloggy show and tell. I think it's so fun... and funny... it's just really cute. If you haven't popped over, you should. Then you can see what all of the giant kids (including myself) are showing off. :)

I had to show off my wax lips. I <3 them. I'm sleepy from a great night. Will tell tomorrow... xo Kates
