Monday, Monday

Monday is in full swing! These critters hope your coffee is strong and your Monday is short!

I just completed the sweetest custom order for a dear follower of mine on Instagram, so I had to share the pictures.

She wanted a Hand-sewn felt Christmas ornament made in the likeness of her dog, Peanut Butter. She wanted Peanut Butter to be a little angel pup because even though he is no longer with the family, he is still in their hearts.

This request was so special for me and it showed me how much I really appreciate custom orders! I had a chance to work larger than I normally do, use materials I don't use that often and it got me out of the usual zone that I'm always working in.

I really enjoyed how sweet little Peanut Butter turned out and I'm excited for him to go off to his new home.

Hello Kitty!

Sanrio is an old favorite of mine, ever since I was a little girl! So when the boutique, Petite Galleria, that carries my products requested some kitty earrings (that look strikingly similar to Hello Kitty) I jumped on the idea!

I decided to make a You Tube tutorial for this character, which I will share later this week. It has also been a while (since November!) when I last shared a Ria Art World video on You Tube, so it's time!

For now here is a short exert from the tutorial I'm working on:

How to change your mini crochet into an earring!

For some reason, even if I share a high quality video, my videos always look fuzzy on Blogger. So if you want a clearer picture, check it out here:

Rain, Rain

"Ok Monday, let's do this!" Said Mr. Orange. It's a rainy start to the week, but that's not stopping us and I hope it won't stop you either.

In fact, I have a few new things this week coming to my Etsy store! So be sure to check in every now and then!

Starting with these chibi pony keycahins!

Hooked

Around this time, seven years ago, I taught myself how to crochet and I have been 'hooked' ever since! I never imagined that a hobby which brought me so much joy would turn into my small business!

I'm looking forward to what is to come!

So I guess you could say, I'm hooked!

#MeetTheArtist

So on instagram the last few weeks (I'm a bit behind), this whole Meet the Artist thing was trending. I saw it a lot when I was sick and really wanted to do it, but I wasn't feeling up to the task at that moment.

Now that I'm getting back in the pink, I wanted to try it myself, real quickly, and here it is!

It was really fun and came out quite satisfying and even though I'm not sure if it's still really a thing on instagram, I think it's a great way to introduce myself and share what I do!
