Don't forget, I'm always willing to make a custom, extra special monster for you! All you have to do is ask!

Also, I have a few shows coming up at the end of the month. Here's some information and the rest of the details are under the WHERE TO BUY tab up top.

I posted a bunch of new pictures last week on facebook. These two were my favories :) 

Hi everyone. I'm sorry for the lack of updates on here. For those who know me personally, you already understand. For those who don't, I've been taking care of my health and had to push a lot of art projects to the back burner for the last 3 weeks. I don't really want to get into it, but it's crazy how quickly life can change. Don't ever take it for granted. 

 I did manage to draw a few new greeting cards which I've sent off to get printed at moo.com. Here is a preview of the designs. Enjoy. Hopefully they'll ship out soon. :)

I'm still planning to be at the Clarence Presbyterian "Gotta Have Art" Festival next weekend. Hope to see you there if you live in the Buffalo area. More information on my WHERE TO BUY page. 

I don't have much to say about this one... just another drawing of my favorite little person, Annie! Here's the other drawing from last summer in case you missed it. 
So, it's 2012? How did that happen?

In case you missed it, I put some new monsters up in my etsy shop. Meet them here. If you click the picture it should link you to where you can buy them. Every monster deserves a good home!

Merry Christmas everyone :)

Here's the latest custom order! A monster walrus! I was super excited to make this guy... and he's so hilarious looking! Enjoy!

I also finished a monstapus today. The walrus monster and monstapus became friends quite quickly!

Well, hi! That was one crazy weekend! Erinmakesstuff managed to be in two places at once! Let me start off with a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to support the UUCB Holiday Show in Buffalo and the Indie Garage Sale in Utica. SO MANY monsters found homes. There is hardly anything left in the bin! I would definitely do both shows again... but hopefully they don't happen on the same day next year! That was a wee bit STRESSFUL! 

Sitting at these shows reminds me why I make these guys. Sometimes when I'm working I think, "What am I doing?!" Knitting is super time consuming and I'm probably crazy for picking that technique. But watching the "journey of emotions" on customers faces is priceless. [My friend Allison said that yesterday and I liked it.] It's rare for someone to not crack a smile, even if at first glance they seem puzzled. And that's all these monsters need to do: make you smile. Cheer you up. Laugh. Enjoy. They are as warm and cozy as your favorite sweater and each has a personality all their own. What more do you need?

[See that possum scarf? It found a home too! As did the big monstapus. Many customers returned Sunday to get even more monsters!] 

To sweeten what was already an awesome weekend, I learned something else! The Utica O-D newspaper used pictures of my monsters with their article to advertise the Indie Garage Sale! On Saturday customers were passing by and kept commenting that they saw my stuff in the paper... and I had no idea what they were talking about. Fortunately my friend [and wonderful host! Thanks again Susan!] was able to dig through her parents recycle bin Sunday morning and find me a copy! Monsters were pictured on BOTH the cover and inside the Thursday weekend section! How cool is that! Pictured in the paper in two cities for two different shows within two months! [And both times I had no idea!] At least this time I managed to get a copy of the paper!

To end this post, THANK YOU to the wonderful people at the UUCB in Buffalo.  I'm sad I couldn't be there in person this time. Everyone who went said it was fantastic so congrats on a job well done!
