Ultimate Nerdy Stiching
My very talented friend Josh Taylor has been doing a lot of pixel art lately, and I thought... "how nice of you to make me all those cross stitch patterns!" They translate perfectly from pixels to stitches. They will be available on my Etsy site sometime before Christmas and hopefully we will be selling them at next years Comic Con.
Cell Phone Case
This is a cell phone case I made for my friend Justin the other weekend. I just made up the pattern as I went. It came out adorable.

Infinity Scarf
Here is the infinity scarf I made for myself. I just made up the pattern on my own. Using Lion Brand Wool. I used an N size crochet hook. If you are interested in the pattern I can write it down for you.
The Amazing Hamweenie
My best friend Patty Bowman has written her first children's book. It's called "The Amazing Hamweenie" Go check it out! Buy it for every child in your life.
"A truly unique debut about a precocious cat with BIG dreams
Dressed in his signature top hat and black cape, Hamweenie is poised to earn his place among the most famous celebrities and daredevils of all time. From the stage to the red carpet, the skies to the sea, Hamweenie believes, without a doubt, that he will be the greatest star the world has ever seen.
The horrors of reality, alas, befall him: a beautiful apartment, a loving little girl, his every need fulfilled to excess. His treats are simply too delicious. His pillows? Beyond luxurious. Such torture! Hamweenie must escape! But with his wretchedly wonderful owner appearing at every turn, will he ever make it out of the apartment? From debut author and illustrator Patty Bowman comes a picture book about the secret life of cats and about dreaming big--no matter what your species."

I AM BACK!
HI! Did you miss me?!?! I missed you. This year has been quite a roller coaster. I am back now and I am working on a bunch of exciting projects! Its winter and nearing Christmas time so I am very busy making presents for people and trying to get my Etsy shop back in order. I am going to try and post more in the new year and share with you all the fun things I am working on. Enjoy.

Drowning In Monkey Bodies
I had some help with the inventory from Kim and Liz this past week. Here is what it looks like behind me while I'm working. Its like having 50 monkeys on your back. Literally. Watching you... Waiting for you.... to give them arms to grab you and eyes to see you! Scary!

This is Kim making a beautiful hula outfit out of a Corona beer cardboard. How fancy! (she went to art school)

Drawing fun at Etsy Labs!

We practiced drawing with our non dominant hands and one line drawings. It was great day and we learned a lot from Carla. We came home with free pins and cool sketchbooks. Thanks Etsy!

OMFG! A coat for Oy!
Ladies and gentleman, may I share with you the world's cutest dog, Oy of Brooklyn. This well behaved little buddy is my friend's Kim and Matt's dog.
During the last fair I did in December, Liz showed me how to make granny squares and we made 100 of them to make 2 little dog coats. One for Oy and one for Pancakes (pictures to come hopefully one day when patty gets less lazy!! Hint hint!)
So we followed this pattern (above) from this adorable sheet with all kind of rediculous looking dog coats on it. It took a really long time to make the two coats but they came out amazing and this little gent looks super in it!!

About Me

- Tamonster
- Brooklyn, NY, United States
- I have been an artist my whole life. I have always loved sewing, collage, typography, embroidery and making things pretty. It led me going to college at Pratt Institute and and from there I worked every job imaginable till i found pre-press/graphic design where i am working currently. I hope to one day open up Brooklyn Craft the craft supply store in Brooklyn. A store that's like a craft fair every day. I love sailing and biking and this blog is all about what takes up most of my time, unless of course I am drinking at the bar. Contact me! if you have any comments, questions or anything you'd like to share.
