Dia De Los Nardis

So last year Alex made me an awesome birthday card of my cat Nardis as a sugar skull kitty. As my birthday is on Halloween this was very fitting and we celebrated at a little restaurant called "Little Mexico".
On the 10th July this year Nardis passed away. He has been my soulmate for the past 15years and losing him has been extremely difficult for Alex and I.
So a few weeks ago I decided I wanted to make some plush toys of him and I have used the image of the birthday card to do so!! Nardis will live on in our thoughts and in our hearts but now he will live on in plush!!!!


The plushie and the card




These will be available online very soon!!!!
Hope you like!!!

Plush Party Food!!!

For this months Kraftbomb we decided to make some party food as it is Kraftbomb's 1st birthday!!!
Kraftbomb has been a total labour of love for Me (Karla) and my friend City. I can't believe it's been a year! We couldn't have done it without our husbands Alex and Chris and of course all our amazing vendors!!!

So here's a sneak peek at some of the great party food we have on offer, mini 1st birthday cakes, sausage rolls (vegetarian) with tomato sauce(here in N.Z we put tomato sauce on everything) and the good old classic, Fairy Bread!! If you don't know what Fairy Bread is, it's sliced bread with margarine and 100's & 1000's (sprinkles) sprinkled on top!!! YUM!!!!





On a side note, our buddy Jamie bought his niece a set of "1's and 2's" (poos and wees) a little while ago and has sent us some pics of her and her new pal, to cute!

Tiny Kitten Teeth Toy

Last year we were approached by our new friends Becky and Frank to see if we wanted to make a toy of their kitten character from their comic, 25 toys in fact! We, of course, loved the design (see below) and jumped at the chance to collaborate with other artists! They wanted them by May, to take on their journey to the states to various conventions and events they're gonna be at over the summer, so we got to work!










Yay, they're finally done and ready to be picked up...

It was a lot of work and all the praise needs to go to Karla for working her fingers to the bone to get the toys sewn together and looking awesome! Becky and Frank were super stoked and if you want to buy one of these little dudes be sure to check out their website for info on where they'll be selling them!

Here's some other toys we've made recently. Photos taken with our fancy new camera...
