Stubborn Monkeys logo and Crafty Moms R US giveaway!

A couple of evenings ago, I told my husband that we need to come up with a company logo for our business. He drew some things on paper which I really love, the problem was how to get it on the computer. While he was at work, I started researching online and fiddling with photoshop. It was great, I like it, but it was missing monkeys. Last night after an hour or and more fiddling, hubby and I finally got it! So here it is. 

I also made a watermark version, which is necessary for original work. My husband is very artistic and we often collaborate on designs that I want, namely, our Me Monster. This is original artwork and is something I want to keep making.

Incidentally, if you want to win this particular ME MONSTER from Stubborn Monkeys, head over to  Crafty Moms R Us for a VERY BIG GIVEAWAY! and I mean, HUGE! It is running now through Feb 25th.

Welcome to my etsy store for handmade things for children and adults!

For the past couple of weeks, I've been very very busy creating things in order to open an Etsy shop and today, it's open!

Welcome to Stubborn Monkey's Store!

So what's the story? A year and a half go I started sewing dresses for my twin girls. I have never sewn before, so it was quite a challenge deciphering the patterns I picked up from the store. I persevered, and conquered! Since I had two make two everything, the first one was usually full of mistakes. Then I went on to make other things that I saw and wanted for my girls, but were too expensive.

Not all my creations for my kids, however. Some of them I did because I thought the craft would be interesting to learn. I have crocheted, knitted, cross-stitched, carved wood (this one I share with my hubby), and recently created hair bows, appliques and embroidered.

I don't know if I will ever sell anything, but they're great as gifts!
