I am currently organizing the Secret Santa Big Wish Swap on craftster.org. It’s pretty hectic, but super fun. I was a secret santa to 3 people.
To my fist recipient, I knitted the Official Kittyville Hat. I made 2 of these before using both knit and crochet. This pattern is better because everything is connected instead of having to sew a bunch of little pieces together. I also sent her the Quant I knitted and featured in my last blog. Hopefully she’ll take some action shots for me.
The second package I sent was a huge flat rate priority shipping box full of handmade soaps and lip balm. I made the lip balms (strawberry and caramel flavored) and the soaps wrapped in brown paper. Everything else was made by my amazing aunt in San Francisco. She makes the most amazing soaps and sends me huge boxes of them.
I chose to Santa for the 3rd person because I think she is one of the most adorable little girls (that’s not mine) I have ever seen. I had so much fun making these. I purchased the pattern on etsy.com from Amy Gaines. I made her a box of kawaii amigurumi food. I also included a little egg, a cup of cocoa (I made up the pattern as I went along so I couldn’t tell you how I made it) with a marshmallow friend, some gummi candies that looked like hot dogs, burgers and fries, and a bunch of little pampering goodies from Bath & Body Works and Clinique for Mom.

Introducing: Lolita, My Love

This is my new line of Generation sake` accessories. They are everyday headbands and chokers inspired by Gothic Lolita and Elegant Gothic Lolita (EGL) styles. The Headbands are easy to wear (unlike the traditional head dresses which require pins and tying), yet still have the same look as designer Lolita hair accessories. Each Headband and choker is one of a kind and will not be duplicated. They range in color and personality.
