August 2015 Update

Hello!

Seeing as things have been so manic over the past few months, I have decided a monthly update is far more realistic for me to do! 

Soooo... here is what has been going on and created over here at Pixie-Crafts since August. 

Firstly, I have been racking my brains over the past few months with regards to labeling my dolls with my business name. I finally settled on these gorgeous buttons which have been printed with my website address. They are wooden and fit the dolls perfectly. 

They come from a shop on Etsy called GirlsFever >>linky link here >>> Girls Fever

There was another creation made for Emma who writes children's books. This is her latest character, Truman Troll and his friend, Barry Bat. I shall share the link to her new book as soon as it has been released. In the meantime, you can find her Edwin Elf and Norma Gnome books on Amazon. 

Peggy Polar bear was another make this month and has made her way to her new home in America. 

There has been an awful lot of this! I have been surrounded by heads, legs and arms for weeks now! 

You lot certainly keep my fingers busy! 

These cute Bumble Bees were also created. I will be listing them in the pixie shop very soon!

Isla and Niamh were twins who were created for a very special customer. Super cute! 

We've had another Horrid Design Fairy appear in the form of Prim. I just love creating the Horrid Design fairies and cannot wait to get started on the next design! 

A completely new product also appeared. This is my Bina Bear Box frame picture which has now gone off to Switzerland. I absolutely loved creating this and have already started on another which I hope to release soon!

Halloween has arrived early and Frankenlaly was created. He is the first of a few oher Halloween characters I am hoping to get made very soon. I was so pleased with how he turned out. Frankenlaly is available in the pixie shop now. 

Henrietta Horse has been made and is off to Canada this week. Lucky horse! 

Aaand finally! A custom monster who is called Gooey. He has been created for a little girl who wanted her imaginary friend bringing to life. <3 

He's soooo fluffy! 

So that's it for now! I have a large list of orders I am currently working through so I will have plenty more to share with you all very soon.

July 2015 update!

Hello all!

Time has flown past again and I have been so busy this month, my website has been neglected.
I thought it would probably be a wise idea to just do a monthly update whilst things are so hectic.

July has been my best month ever with pixie-crafts. You lot have certainly kept my lil fingers busy, and it's not looking like August is going to be any slower! :)

A few new characters have appeared in July and a new range of monster Laly's have been launched.

We bid a very emotional farewell to Big Dirk and Mici Mermaid who went off to their new home together.

The first custom order of the month came in the form of Pod Pixie. What a cutie! <3

Pod was created from a picture which was sent to me by a customer. 

A newbie appeared in the form of Errol Elelala. I wasn't too sure on how to create an elephant but after a few tweaks here and there, I was chuffed with how he turned out. 

A bunch of regulars then went out to all over the world. 

We had Princess Bina Bears

And a new daisy rabbit :)

Another custom order came in the form of two gorgeous kitty cats, Prince Rupert and Sir Nigel :D

Another newbie arrived, Olivia Owl :) She wasn't about for long!!

The next doll created was a complete one off. Snowflake Bina Bear. She sold in a record 3 minutes! 

The first of the Laly Monsters then appeared. This is Ludo. Again, he wasn't here for long and has gone off to his new lovely home. 

Aaaaand finally!!! 

Meet Tilly Tortoise. <3 I have literally fallen in love with her, and so has her new owner!! 

There are plenty more that I can't share unfortunately as they have been made as gifts for people, but I shall post them as and when I can :) 

There will be another post later as another giveaway is launched later with a very special prize!

Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine wherever you are!

A whopper of an update!

Yep... I haven't updated for so long so apologies but this is going to be one uber long update!

Lots has been going on over here at Pixie-Crafts over the past few weeks with an order list almost as long as my arm! Hence the lack of updates as my little fingers have been so busy working on new dolls, I just haven't had a chance to do much else!

Summer has arrived in all it's glory with a heatwave here in the UK which is very unusual for this time of year! This has meant that the garden has come to life rather early on which has resulted in the Lalys giving me a hand with the gardening and having fun out in the sun!

We had a very emotional farewell for Angel Bina who headed off to her new forever home. <3

There were 4 new Lalys created who have now arrived safe and sound in California, USA. A new rooster doll was created especially for the lovely lady.

I tackled something new also in the form of African Flowers. It was lovely  to try something new and these were used as a Hot Air Balloon which is still to be finished off. (pics will follow soon!)

More lambs and Unicorns were made and have also gone off to the USA, there seems to be a lot of the Lalys making their way over seas lately

Another new Laly appeared in the form of Clarence Cat <3 

And more toadstools were made and sent out to customers. 

And finally!!

2 custom dolls were created, requested by customers from ideas in their heads and pictures! 

Firstly there was Norma Gnome and her frind Bumble who have gone to live with Edwin the elf and Emma who writes wonderful children's books. 

and little Pod the elf who was a creation from a drawing I received from a lovely customer. 

Pod has a little snail friend <3

I know it's only July... and I am apologising for this... but just to let you know I shall be opening my Xmas order book within the next few weeks, so if you are wanting anything for the festive period for gifts etc, pop over to my Facebook page to stay up to date with what's happening :) 

Pixie Hugs as always

Pixie Crafts update bloggy blog thingy :D

Hello all!

Popping past to share what has been occurring over at pixie crafts for the past couple of weeks!

The competition closed with 2 lucky winners winning a mini Laly of their choice.
The first winner selected a Fibi Fox as a gift for her sister but then decided she also wanted a Dirk for herself, so both of them have now been made and are heading to Australia...lucky things!
Not before helping me celebrate my birthday though! :D

Luca (formerly known as Lupo) arrived in his new home and has become firm friends with another Pixie Crafts bunny creation :) <3 

There has been a mahhooosive custom make also with a large Bina bear being made in the colours of Monster High for a special little girl's birthday. I hope she likes her! She even has her own little blanket to keep her warm <3

A new order came in for a Kira kangaroo and baby roo. I just love making the Kiras :)

I then had a request from a lovely customer asking whether I could make her an owl.... challenge accepted!! The owls are now available at the pixie shop and can be made in any colours.

Sir Frederick got up to mischief and made some new friends. Luckily he managed to restrain from joining them in the tank!

I also finally managed to get another Horrid Design fairy complete! This is Charlotte the secrets fairy. She just needed her wings (which she now has) and is heading off to live with Emma and the other fairies :) 

I was surprised by my husband and taken to see Take That in concert on my birthday ! (It was totally amazing!) We had a stowaway who managed to sneak into my bag and was convinced she was going to try to locate Gary Barlow (this didn't happen unfortunately) I think Rhubarb enjoyed herself also! 

And finally... I have managed to create 2 newbies, both of which sold in record time although they are still available as made to order items.

Henry Horse and Ulrika Unicorn. I'd been wanting to try a horse for some time and was so happy with Henry I thought a unicorn had to be next!
Henry has gone off to live in California and Ulrika has been snapped up as a Xmas pressie by a lovely lady.

 Work has now been started on my next creation which may or may not be a hedgehog (hee hee)

I leave you with some feedback I received from a lady in Canada who had a custom doll from me... Little Edward and his pup Rupert. The message I received literally brought me to tears.
I am so lucky to have such wonderful customers <3

Sending you all lots and lots of pixie hugs
