Vonvonz Handmade

Holiday Seasons again, how the time flies by without noticing. Had been busy with social and the holidays lately, haven’t got a lot of time to craft any decent plushies besides crocheting random stuff and sales for pocket friends orders (YES! I am taking orders for pocket friends again!) had been slow, but I am guessing it’s the holidays and hopefully sales will pick up when the holidays are over. ^^But I wish everyone a Merry holiday and hope you enjoy it with your family and friends! <3

This little guy join me for some ice cream today. nom nom nom

Finally figure out how to make a page for Vonvonz Handmade. ^^ Please join if you have a facebook and help spread the word. Thank you very much. : D I will try to update a lot there about upcoming sales and whatnots. ^^

On the other hand… I’m wondering if I should renew my flickr account. ‘ ^ ‘;

I do my usual felt shopping whenever I can if I pass by the craft shops, so I just grab the colors that I want off the shelves not noticing that they are kinda different this time round until I get home and see this sticker on it. Eco fi polyester felt that is made from recycled post-consumer plastic bottles. I feel kinda excited when I see this sticker. LOL I support recycling and reuse. XD

Then I went online to do a search on Eco fi, that I came across this article. It is interesting to see how one thing affects the other. Possible cruelty to animals if the farm doesn’t treat them well, but if people stop using wool, sheep farms will go out of business… and so on. There are so many things to think about whether one should use more of wool felt or acrylic felt.

To be honest, I have not use wool acrylic before as they are not available in the local stores and ordering online is way too expensive. Often the older craft shops sell their felt in little pieces without any information of them but they are mainly acrylic felts. I know wool felts looks better and probably are easier to craft with, but for little toys, I would think that acrylic felts are nice enough. Now I hope to see more recycled eco fi felt around, since plastic bottles are laying around why not make good use of them? : )

The next thing I’m hoping to do is to get hold on fleece so that I can make bigger plushies that will not have balls on them after snuggling with them for awhile. ^^;

After a year, the mushroom bois are still dancing around in my room. (in the ziplock actually) hehe I decided to let them out of the bag for some fresh air. ^^ Recently the bf bought a new camera Ricoh CX2 and I am loving it already. Previously I had been using Canon Powershot A80 for a long time but recent years it’s been acting kinda weird, hence I don’t take much photographs. ^^;

The raining season is here and it’s the time of the year that I like the most. It’s really cooling and the rain is calming.  This is what inspires me to make the rain drops. <3

Rainy Season is coming, meet Rain Drop. : D

Some days I just feel like this.
This upset froggie is about 2 inches tall. A prototype.
