Twitter



Yes, I have twitter now. I thought it was silly for a very long time, but now that I have it I see its merits. I do like following certain celebrities like Neil Gaiman. He is soooo wonderful. Anyway, follow me if you like :)

Pandamonium!

So as we all know, I have a panda obsession (aka, paramiPANDA :p ) And in honor of that (and because I am stealing this idea from DigsUnderRocks ) I decided to do a post all about pandas :)

Mmmmm...


This picture makes me so happy! He was lost and forgotten, but now he is found! A little emo, yes, but adorable too :)


I got this bag for Christmas and ADORE it! It folds up really tiny and fits inside my purse!



And isn't this amazing??? No more "mickey mouse" one big blob and two little blobs for ears pancakes, you can have pandas!!!



I adore this Tiny Things Conversion Factory by MochiMochiLand! Pandas AND gnomes?? Who could ask for more?


Steppie is a great artist who's kawaii creations sell in some of the same shops as mine, and I think this ring of hers is amazing! I bought it for my sister for Christmas!


I want this panda jumper dress!! This picture makes it seem a little too...high fashion, but with a few tweaks it could be totally me :D


Okay, I am dying to have this shirt. And have three other people that I want to buy it for. Everyone will think we are on a team, but I don't care, I looove it!! Oh and it is called "Secret Lake" which just makes it a million times better!


And a little shameless self promotion of course:


Okay, and this print I discovered on aforementioned DigsUnderRocks blog, but had to repost it, it is just too wonderful!


And last but not least, another new discovery of mine, Firefluff! She is wonderful and whimsical and just a little dark, and I want pretty much all of her art! Especially this sweet panda card.


It makes me so happy that pandas seem to be a universal obsession, so I have no trouble discovering all the adorable panda items I could ever want :D

Etsy Love: Brown and Other Colors

So these aren't necessarily the most original items that I've ever posted about, but I do love them, so I thought I would share.

Classic:


This makes me soooo happy. I wish they made a set of blinds with this image for those rainy Seattle days:


I just discovered this artist today and I am in loooove:


I think this is sooo unique and want it in my house:


The Yeti series of scientificculture's buttons is still my absolute favorite, but these kitties with mustaches are hilarious!! ----->


And you all already know that I adore tollipop, but I couldn't not post this print:

I made a treasury!



I decided to start making treasuries again. I was pretty annoyed to learn that curator's items don't make it to the front page, even when their treasuries do, so I've been boycotting it for a while, but now I'm back :)

I think limiting it to one of your own items per treasury is enough, they don't also have to remove your item from the front page - if it was good enough to get there, what does it matter if it's your own item? Treasuries are a perfectly legitimate way to promote your items, especially when you are also promoting 11 other people's items AND it is only going to get to the front page if it is deserving of being there in the first place. This is how I feel.

But ANYWAY, I would greatly appreciate it if you would click on the jpeg of my treasury above. It will link you to the treasury, and then you can click on all the items and leave a comment if you feel like it :)

I met my goal!!! 100 sales yesterday! Woooooo!


Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

And I just got my sales information from the two stores that my crochet is selling in, and in this month alone I sold 25 animals in each store (so 50 total)! Plus all of my etsy sales and the three craft fairs that I did, this month has been pretty good to Parami Panda :)

Here's looking to the future!
