Whirlwind Week

Talk about a whirlwind week!  Beginning last Friday at the Avon Walk For Breast Cancer check in, I’ve been on go, non-stop.  I can’t even begin to explain how much fun it is to participate in the walk!  I am a little disappointed in myself as I was only able to complete 21 miles on Saturday *sigh*  I did very minimal training this year and could definitely feel it.  That won’t happen again next year   Oh yeah btw, I signed up again for next year hehe.  I was able to finish the 13.1 miles on Sunday and was pretty proud of that.  That Sunday definitely lived up to it’s name…it was super SUNNY.  I had sunblock on but still managed to get sun burned on my right neck shoulder area.  Why there is beyond me???

I took vacation time from my day job to rest (yeah right!) and to have time to create more inventory for the Houston International Festival.  I am so glad I did that.  I was up bright and early every morning with hook in hand and still almost didn’t have enough dolls.  I came up with a new version of a monkey for my collection.  This one is red / black with black bat wings.  He came out super cute & a little dark (just like me HA!).  I will have to work up another one to get professional pictures for the Etsy shop but my hubby got one from his cell camera.

I have a ton of ideas flowing around my crazy lil’ head.  I will begin drawing & working them up in the coming weeks.  I should have some new doll designs ready for the Discovery Green Flea on May 19th.  Stay tuned…

Introducing Brown Beard Cyrus & Pink Monkey

As you may be well aware, I’ve been raising funds for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer these past few months / weeks.  I decided to make a Pink Monkey in honor the walk.  I sold these monkeys at the last fundraiser we held at That Pizza Place on Ella in Houston and a friend was kind enough to share a photo of her new found buddy

Because of my training for the walk (I will be walking 39.3 miles in a two day span) and trying to get my stock ready for the Houston International Festival, I have been a little behind on commissions :-\  I finally finished a beard beanie!  It came out super cute and I’m sure I will have to add these to my regular rotation of items (especially during the fall / winter seasons).  My son was kind enough to “model” off the beanie for me.  Introducing Brown Beard Cyrus…

Fundraising Event

I will be at That Pizza Place on Ella this Friday, April 6th, helping raise money for team Mugs for Jugs to participate in the 2012 Houston Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.  CultGrrrl Creations has made a few special “pink” monkeys to raffle.  There will be live music from Stay of Execution (playing all your metal favorites from A to Z) and a belly dancer performing during intermission.  Everyone in the area should come on down and join in on the festivities!  More information on the event can be found at this location.

Bizarre Holiday on Main / Stocked Up Space

I can finally confirm that CultGrrrl Creations will be at the Bizarre Holiday on Main market in Houston on Sunday, December 11th between 11-6.  More detailed information on the location can be found here.  I will FINALLY be able to reveal my new surprise design at this market, so there is your incentive to go HA!

I also was able to make it out to Space Montrose to re-stock my “inventory” at the store.  I dropped off a Frankie Stein, Baphy Goat, Monkey-key, Cthulhu (w/ glow in the dark eyes) and a Pink Voodoo Bunny.  There is also a Mummy & Heartbreak Harry Voodoo doll there as well.  As I’ve stated before this is one of the the most nifty stores for all your unique handcrafted eccentric gifts, so it is a MUST visit!

Funky Monkey-key

I’ve been working on getting more inventory going for all the upcoming markets CultGrrrl Creations is participating in.  I just had to share my latest Monkey-key [or as my bff dubbed him... Funky Monkey-key] :

Btw, I will be adding more markets as soon as I secure my spot on them.  Be sure to visit the calendar regularly as all info will be posted there
