NUNJA! Felt Art

What do you get when you cross a nun with a ninja.  NUNJA!

Yeah.  Ba Da Bum.


On a whim, I decided I want to create a piece of felt art for my friend for her birthday.  She has an obsession with nuns and with my warped sense of humor, I decided to stitch her a Nunja.  You know, cause I'm weird and quirky like that.  Turns out, she loved it!  Winner!

Panda Pincushion Wristlet

What time is it?  It's Panda Time!  Well, sort of.  I had a custom request the other day for a panda pin cushion similar to the magnets I made but to be worn on the wrist.  It turned out might cute if I do say so myself!  

Cherry Gathered Bag

I made this cherry gathered bag for a friend's birthday last week.  It was based on this one that I made last year.  She loves cherries and I already had the fabric so it worked out perfectly.  It's about 16 inches tall, 15 inches wide at the bottom and 10.5 inches at the top.  I winged it this time and didn't bother with the pattern like I did last time. As useful as they are, for some reason, I have an aversion to them sometimes.

Monkey Speech Bubble Magnet Set

I loved the Einstein Speech Bubble magnet set I made recently.  It made me giggle.  A few days ago, I'd gotten in order from my etsy shop (shameless plug :)) for a monkey magnet and while working on the magnet, my thoughts kept drifting back to the Einstein magnets.  So from that point, I knew the monkey needed a speech bubble of his own.  What does society say monkeys should speak about?  Why, bananas of course!

Say what?!

cutest monkey ever

I'm in love with this monkey

Winking Breakfast Magnets

One can never have too many kawaii food magnets.  Especially when they are a winking breakfast magnet set.  The set includes bacon, coffee, cereal, toast and a sunny side up egg.  The bowl of cereal has beaded "cereal".  Each magnet measures approximately 1.75 inches in diameter.

Available for purchase in the Etsy shop.

Got Poo?

Mustachio'd Poo Keychains

Happy Halloween!

Halloween Monsters 2012

 I made some new Halloween magnets for this year.  I started out making the Bride and then there was a request for Frankenstein's Monster and from there, this set was born as another request.  For me, every day is Halloween so I hope to eventually be able to add a Wolfman, Swamp Thing and maybe even Cthulthu monster!
 

Frankenstein Monster and Bride Magnets

RAWR!!  I made this kawaii Bride and Frankenstein Monster set for a friend this week.  I think I'm going to attempt to make some other Classic Monster inspired magnets as I really like how well these two came out.

30 Day Pinterest Craft Challenge - Day 2 - Messenger Bag

 I made this cupcake themed messenger bag yesterday afternoon for Day 2 of my self-imposed 30 Day Pinterest Craft Challenge.  It was inspired by this reversible messenger bag by Crazy Little Projects.  In true me fashion, these pins generally serve as inspiration before I end up changing it somewhat.  I had in mind my just-turned 8 year old niece when I came across the pin for the reversible bag.  I changed it up slightly by making it a larger bag and adding two front pockets and making the bag non-reversible.  I used some retired Robert Kaufman cupcake fabric and just brown and turquoise dot fabric for the lining.  I also used interfacing to give the bag some stability.  I am really pleased with how this bag turned out and I hope that Ali likes it too.  I definitely want to make one for me now!

Kawaii Strawberry Phone Wristlet

 

Here's an adorable (if I do say so myself) kawaii strawberry wristlet I made.  It has two compartments inside to hold your phone and your cash/plastic money with a snap button closure and ribbon to wear the wristlet.  I also used beads for the seed detailing on both sides.  I made this out of felt and it was entirely handstitched.  I liked it so much that I also made a monkey one but I don't have pics of that one yet :)

The above strawberry phone wristlet is available for purchase for $24 and is ready to be shipped.  Please send me an email to joyce [at]  asianinvasionsaloon [dot] com if you are interested or you can contact me through facebook.  

Don't forget that I will be starting my 30 Day Pinterest Craft Challenge on Aug. 1st :)

Frosted Pastry Phone Case

How about some calorie free sugar sweetness for your best friend that never leaves your side?  100% handstitched with love, this gadget cozy will give the perfect protection to your phone, camera or nifty gadget that you can't live without.  Custom sizes and colors are available.  Just give me a holla through the etsy shop or facebook.

*rawr* King of the Jungle Lion Family Magnets

This family of lions was another recent custom order. Hear them *rawr*, or in this case *purr*.  Papa Lion is wearing his crown so that others will know that he is the king.  Realistically, Mama doesn't have a mane of hair but this is kawaii and she must look cute so she has a mane of flowing orange hair (aren't gingers the ones who have the most fun?).  The babies are the coolest cubs in their school with their candy colored manes.

Kawaii Fruit!

They say the recommended fruit servings per day is two.  Take your pick of these no calories and too cute to eat jumbo fruity magnets.

Mario!

I made this Mario magnet a while back.  I actually forgot about it until just now when I was looking through the pics of stuff that I'd made :)

Another awesome purchase from Baby Accessories & More By Lorena

 

 I custom ordered a few weeks ago a couple of beanies big enough to hold in my hair.  Needless to say, when I got them in, once again I was pleased with my order.  Not only are they adorable and made to my specifications (I ordered one to look like a watermelon and another like carrot cake), they fit PERFECT!  My bun was held in nicely and I love that the hats also fit over my ears.  Very important for when the weather gets cold as my ears need to be warm in order for me to be happy :)  Check out Lorena and her crochet goodies at Baby Accessories & More By Lorena on Facebook.

Hello Kitty!

Made these HK inspired magnets for a friend :)
