Amigurumi keychain and Going 30's

Hello pixies,

My post title speaks about what I'm about to share to you in my blog entry today. I'll be writing about my new amigurumi creations and a post birthday celebration I attended last Monday.

Let me start with the amigurumi keychain first. Amigurumi is one of the things that I enjoyed doing. I'm an "all about arts and crafts" type of person and it's no surprise if I often post about these stuffs in my blog. My latest adventure with crocheting was making stuff toys with the help of some crochet yarn and my basic knowledge with crocheting. I've had posted several samples of my works in my past blog entries but none of them were keychain.

Lately, I came up with the idea of making a key chain or bag charm for my aunt and grandma who lives in Canada. I used the bunny pattern I bought a while back and inserted a chain and circular hook so it can be used as a key, wallet or bag accessory.

I also plan to sell this kind of keychain soon in my etsy shop. However, I have also added another keychain item on The Winking Fairy store and this is an Adventure Time amigurumi keychain. The character I did was Jake. I'm going to make a Finn keychain too but I need to find the right pattern for this first.

Adventure Time with Finn and Jake is one of my favorite shows and that's the main reason why I decided to create this keychain.

If you're interested in purchasing this item, you can check out the item here.

Also, last Monday, I met up with my college friends (our group name was and is still called "Angels") what a unique name right? Haha

Recently,one of our friend turned 30 years old. Since we didn't get the chance to celebrate her going on 30 on her actual birthday, she set up a lunch date last Monday. Only 3 of us (not including her) were available on the date she set but we still pushed through with the plan.

It was such a great day to reminisce about our college days especially the days we had our practicum at a local radio company where we learned a lot of things while having fun.

That's it for now. Hope you have a great day/night ahead! May the odds be ever in your favor! :)

My Etsy Store

I created an Etsy store a year and a half ago. I uploaded a couple of items but didn't get a sale until last week. However this first sale has a huge impact to me that it boost my passion once again to create more stuffs to sell.

The name of my shop is The Winking Fairy. My shop name was inspired by my love for magical creatures especially fairies, pixies and elves. The "winking" was just randomly added - I thought of an action word that can represent cute yet sweet gesture of a fairy and so that's the word that came across my mind.

For this shop I'll be focusing on selling BJD-related items. BJD stands for ball-jointed doll. I'm a bjd collector and I want to incorporate my hobby into business by selling accessories for bjd in my shop. But, I will also sell some items that a person could use. I started putting up mobile phone cases like this one shown below:

And since, my first attempt in doing a sock monkey hat for bjds was a success (see previous post), I made another one this time in a different color which I am also selling in my store:

Hopefully my online store will have a more number of views and sales for this year.
