heart attack

when's the worst time to lose your purse at the mall?

if your answer was "when you just cashed a check and your purse has $500 in it" you are correct!

yeah...that seriously happened to me today.
luckily i did some mad, crazy person running and made it back to the store i was just in and found it untouched!

seriously the closest i've come to having a heart attack.

and also the closest i've come to shoplifting.

i was in another store holding a shirt when i realized i didn't have my purse and didn't even think when i started to mad, crazy person run out of the store with it.
don't worry, Matt was smart enough to notice and took it back for me.

no wonder I hate going to the mall, only bad things happen there!

so besides that little ordeal, today was a pretty awesome day!

Matt and i went thrifting for our Halloween costumes and hit the jackpot!
usually it takes us forever to find what we need but the thrifting Gods were on our side today and we found almost everything!

it probably helped that our costumes are much more low key this time.
we don't have the time for any huge extravagant costume making because of the shop and moving and all but i still love what we decided on!

here's a little sneak peek!

Ewok Mania

so Ewok Cozies have been selling like crrrrazy lately.

like to the point where i'm sitting here thinking, hmm i wonder what the heck is going on in the world that ewoks are suddenly hot hot news.

(and apparently only internationally because all these orders are coming from outside the U.S.)

then one of my customers gave me the answer.

our Ewok Kindle Cover was featured in a Yahoo article on Best Kindle Covers for Geeks!

excuse me while i do a couple flying jump kicks and a happy dance to some 80s music because i think that's amazingly cool!

and in honor of the Ewok Cozy becoming famous on Australian Yahoo we listed an iPad version!

he's extra adorable because he looks extra chubby!

i love that!

david tennant in da house!

it's no big secret that i love me some David Tennant.

and i know he's already made an appearance in my shop in feltie form but i felt i needed him in cozy form too.

i present to you the Dr. Who David Tennant Kindle Cozy!

for anyone who doesn't know, the David Tennant doctor wore 3D glasses and killed girls all over the world with his adorableness.

seriously, is there anything better?

hellooo!

hi blog! remember me??

i'm completely slammed with orders right now! it's unbelievable!

so unbelievable, in fact, that i had to lower the hours of my day job so i can have more time for crafting!

living the dream up in hereeee!

i just wanted to take a quick crafting break and share some things with everyone.

first of all, my etsy shop name has changed!

it is now Life Geekery!

as soon as i get ahead on orders i'll be adding new cozy designs to the shop and there might even be a geekery blog full of hi-larious posts from both me and my amazing hubby!

so stay tuned for that!

also, i had sooo many people asking me for the Harry Potter cozy in Nook sizes that i went ahead and made them their very own listing!

and just so you all know i'm still alive and kicking here's some pics to prove it!

Padme sometimes lays on my shoulder like this while i'm crafting away so i just had to take a break to have a little staring contest!

fell in love with this sweater the other day so i bought it!
so what if it's a thousand degrees outside and i won't be able to wear it for months??
i have a thing for sweaters.
i seriously live in the wrong state.

been watching Frozen Planet while i work this week and i am IN LOVE!
seriously my favoritest thing ever ever ever!

cozy cozy everywhere!

yet again i was amazed when Matt sent me a message with a link to the slashfilm blog and i scrolled through and saw my Harry Potter Cozy!

i think Matt was extra excited about this one because he's a nerd and reads slashfilm every day and listens to their podcasts.

new ideas for cozies are in the works so stay tuned!!

wowza

i feel extra extra cool right now!!
i just found out my Harry Potter Kindle Cozy was featured on wanelo and the nerd approved blog!

that's so freaking awesome!! 

that's the second time i've been on the nerd approved blog too! 

i'm just so beyond happy that this little shop of mine is growing and becoming so much more than i imagined! 

thanks to everyone who helps make that happen!

Kindle Cozy

H Pitty has FINALLY made an appearance in the Two Peas shop!

because every kindle needs a special home to sleep in and what would be better to keep your little kindy safe than a wizard??

seriously.

every single Harry Potter lover is going to want this bad boy!

including me, i'm definitely keeping one for myself!

also, all of my cozy designs can now be made in kindle size so if you happen to not be a fan of the wizarding world, i can still make all of your kindle dreams come true!

new new

i've been making some of my very favorite things for the shop this past week!

an R2D2 Phone Cozy and a Chewbacca Phone Cozy!

the chewbacca cozy is made with furry felt that makes it look extra extra amazing!

matt has officially deemed it his "favorite of all time" and demanded i make him one for his phone to sleep in.

i also completed a Tenth Doctor feltie upon request!

now i'm already a huge David Tennant fan because he's quirky and funny and a hottie mchott but this little guy made me love him even more!

so nerdy and cute!!

check them out and show my etsy some love!

Cozies!

in case you haven't heard...

NEW ITEMS IN THE SHOP!!

Ewok Phone Cozy!

and Hobbes Phone Cozy!

i'm madly in love with these!

it's perfect to keep your phone from making noise against your nightstand or lighting up all bright in the middle of the night. 

my own phone sleeps in the ewok cozy and just loves it!
i'm sure your phone will too!

but then your kindle is gonna be sad that they don't have one, like mine is.

i guess i'm just gonna have to make one for little Kindy to sleep in now!

Hobbes Stuffed Animal

so i FINALLY finished that Hobbes commission i've been working for-e-ver on and i must say, i was quite pleased with him when all was said and done!

he's made with fleece and mostly sewn by machine and stuffed with fluffy poly-fil.

the stripes, eyes, nose and mouth are felt and all sewn on by hand which is what took the longest.

i want to make another one just for me because he is so cuddle-rific!

p.s. Matt got the hint and bought me the olloclip i wanted!

get ready for a lot more fisheye pics from now on!

i'm obsessed!!!

lately

i have been super super busy lately making items to sell!

over the weekend i had a couple people request commission work from me so i've been a busy little girl with pattern making and fabric cutting and sewing sewing sewing!

matt and i have also been playing Draw Something nonstop!

this game makes me laugh so hard because my drawings are so completely horribly terribly bad.

and of course matt's look amazing.

proof.

so Matt sent me a text today and told me he was scrolling through his google reader when he saw something familiar and told me to check it out.

i go to nerdapproved.com (of course Matt reads that blog right?) and i'm scrolling scrolling and then i stop dead when i see MY Dr. Who christmas ornaments staring me in the face!!

well not really because you can't stare a weeping angel in the face and live to tell about it but...

there were my ornaments NOT staring me in the face!!
