Christmas Auction

KayDea Crafts is participating in an online auction and Paula the Polar bear is up for auction! Normally she is 26 dollars on etsy but now she is starting at 16 dollars!

You can find the auction right here. There's also several other wonderfully talented artists putting their items up for auction at a discounted price. Check it out, it's pretty cool :)

Made our goal!

Dea
As we may have mentioned in our blog our goal for this bazaar seasons was 250 toys/product. 
We just took inventory and we made our goal. 

Totally feel like a righteous fist pump is perfectly appropriate. 
Want to see what 250 product looks like?

Please try to ignore the massive amounts of manga and movie posters. :)

 It's hard to believe that we made all of those toys. ALL OF THEM. I'm sorry wrists. I hope carpal tunnel is kind to us. While we were looking through we found a couple toys that had special meaning to us. 

I had completely forgotten about FrankenKitty. I hope he finds a perfect home that can appreciate him for the loveable disfigured beast that he is. 

On the right is Karis with the first Owl she made. She wrote a pattern for it and now we attempt to mass produce them in wonderful colors. 

If you want to try and catch us in person to squeeze our loveable crocheted goods like us on Facebook!
Where we update with dates, times and places we will be. 

See you there!

 

Etsy friends!

Do you guys wanna see some of the most adorable bags ever?

These come a very talented lady named Shoshi who runs an adorable little store named Shusha Handmade Art And all of her creations are simply squeal inducing!

You really must check out her store, even just to sneak a peak, and put this on your Christmas list. But I call dibs on the tribal print one. ;]

Etsy friends

Since opening our shop on Etsy we've met so many talented kind people!

Today I'd like to promote a little shop named Texaslils

She has some fabulous scarves and adorable booties! She's a fellow crocheter living in NC (Which we assume is North Carolina)

Here's our favorite item from her shop <3

We love custom orders

Blue = Karis

I don't know if it's publicly known yet but Dea and I love doing custom orders. We make these, we call them "big dolls", that are just perfect for customization. 

And we had just such an order come in. 

One of Dea's co workers is expecting a new grand baby and really loved our dog pattern. She gave us the baby's theme colors and Dea made an acute observation that her co worker is a very big blazer fan. (Oregons NBA basketball team. Go blazers)

And so we got Dylan! :D

 As you can see Dylan really likes the Blazers too.

This made Dea's co worker so excited. She loved it! And it was so much fun to make a wee little blazer jersey. 

Now her new grand baby needs a jersey and then they can match :)
 

Craft update

Blue = Karis

So, I took one class this summer and just took my final. That means no studying. Or homework. Or anything. It's a weird concept.

And my job is at the wee hours of the morning so by 10 o' clock am, when I clock off, I've already worked a full shift. 

So due to me not having class until fall term starts and only working in the mornings I have expansive days set before me. I can do anything I want! It makes me giddy as a school girl! 

While most of my time is spent playing Pokemon Conquest (so addicting) I've been able to explore some leisurely crafts. 

Check out what I made!  

They're leaves! Leaves.  This makes me feel like a champion among men. A champion.

 I don't think you can imagine how excited I was. Imagine a kid in a toy store and then you surprise them with a hundred dollar bill. 

I was at work and saw this book.

It's a wonderful book full of gorgeous stitches. It's perfect to have on your shelf as a reference or to flip through for ideas. It's going to be my best friend <3 

I made this with some sugar n' cream yarn to make a dish scrubby. (The fanciest dish scrubby on the block) I'm going to make a couple with different stitches and gift them to my boyfriends mom for Christmas. Thumbs up for multitasking.

Check out what else  I made.  

 

Believe it or not

Blue = Karis

It finally happened. Yes, my dear friends, I finally opened my Etsy shop. *heroic music plays*

It took me a good 2 hours but it has been done! There are only a few item up but there will be more. I'm popping out patterns, stitching, and trying to console my bank account. 

Wanna check it out? We're using Dea's account so it pops up under her name, I'm trying to work it so both our names are listed on it. (Or at least mine, tee hee)

One more thing before I go.

Who wants some pony cuteness? 

This is the horse pattern I previously mentioned. After a couple of trial runs and tweaking I've become happy with the final product. 

As you can see she has golden hooves and a rainbow mane. Her cousins going to be a unicorn.

Yeah, I know. It's pretty awesome.
