Undead Mustang

Please tell me your week has started off better than mine...
Our beat up old car died in the driveway this morning.

Please help bring her back to life and use this coupon code, or share it with your friends!

UNDEADMUSTANG20

Good in either one of my shops...

http://SWStitchery.etsy.com
The code is good on everything, sale and custom listings included.
http://StaticWhite.etsy.com
Once the items here are gone, they're gone.

Expires: Oct 29th 2012

Note: I can not guarantee delivery for Halloween at this point, but, USPS 1st class usually takes 3-5 days within the US. So the sooner you order the better!

I seriously have no idea what this latest problem is going to cost us yet but all I can do is hope I can raise enough with my stitchings because we really have nothing to spare. Unfortunately, where we live we need the car, there's just no getting around it. So even if you, yourself, don't use the coupon code please share it with your friends!

Much appreciation, xx ~Static

Dahlias and Roses and Wachoo! Oh my.

I've been working on lots of flowers this week. These won't be making it to my shop, they're all commissioned/gifted pieces.

I only meant to make one Dahlia but wound up with two thanks to a small measurement mishap. It thankfully didn't ruin the first one but it did make it too big for my project so I had to put it aside temporarily. Here's the proper sized, first completed (second started) Dahlia in action:

Can you believe 40 petals on that flower? All hand cut and rolled by your truly.

The box is a repurposed (4) mug box so it's nice and sturdy. I left the bottom alone with it's polkadotted paper but painted and then recovered the lid in Beige Linen. To break up the Beige-ness on the lid, and have something to attach the Dahlia Pin to, I added an Ivory Satin Ribbon down the center. It's not shown in this photo but I'll be lining the box with purple tissue paper. I've also folded wax paper divider boxes because this box is soon to be full of tea and homemade cookies! Nom.

I don't have a pic of the other Dahlia finished yet but there is one of it 2/3 complete with Tiger Buddy plus another pic of the Roses I'm working on on my Facebook page.

Another Pocket Zombie Santa Mini Plush!

Is it me or did this Pocket Zombie Santa maybe have a little too much special eggnog, if you know what I mean?

 

Anywho, as you can see poor Santa had a run-in with some naughty zombies. They gnawed on Santa's head and arm a bit before the reindeer could stomp their zombie butts into the ground where they belonged. But there's no keeping Santa from making his rounds! Granted with a shuffle and grunt, preferring brains and guts over milk and cookies these days but, hey, what can you do?  

♦ Stands approximately 4.5 inches (11.43cm) high from brain to feet.   

♦ Individually cut from synthetic felt, sewn, and embroidered by my two hands.
♦ "Blood" is freehand painted.
♦ Comes in a "Body Bag" (aka tissue holder)    

♦ Can be left as is, a Mini Plush, ~or~ can have a ornament loop/hook added ~or~ a pinback added at no extra charge. Just let me know in the "message to seller" box when you make your purchase.
(This listing is for the Pocket Zombie Santa only. Skeleton/tombstone/pillar not included.)

 

Next up, some new reversible headbands!

Pocket Zombie Santa Mini Plush

Is it me or is Pocket Zombie Santa arguing with the skeleton?

This one sold immediately upon listing but I have at least one more in the works --among finishing a custom trench before the 15th, stitching & listing headbands,  cleaning house and moving furniture. Soon to add painting walls to that list O_o Halp!

Custom requests are always welcome, just convo me!

Attack of the Batlings!

Okay, not so much an attack as maybe a cuddle, at the worst, a nibble.

Zombie Party Girls

Just a couple of girls out for a nice night on the town but then Erin had to go and convince Teri to take a walk through the graveyard.

"It's a shortcut, I swear!"

That happened to be next to  a toxic waste dump. First they lost their shoes in the muck. Then Erin stomps off in a tiff, pissed about her missing shoes.

There's a guy just standing at the edge of the graveyard staring at the toxic dump. Erin wobbled over --she'd already put back a few-- to tell him her woes and maybe sucker him into looking for her shoes. What does she get for it? He totally messed up her hair and got blood on her pretty dress! Jerk.

Teri, meanwhile, trips on a broken headstone and lands face first in some glowing green goo. As she's trying to get up, a bony hand erupts from the goo and starts scratching at her arms and face.

"Do you know how long it took to get my hair this cute, you asshat?!"

She wails on the arm  a few time with a rock but it was already too late. Her stomach was growling and wasn't for brussel sprouts.

My zombies, they are taking over!

Rommie the Not-Sock Zombie Monkey now lives on the US East Coast, another Not-So-Fresh Zombie is nibbling his way through the UK & a Lil Zombie Jibber is biting toes in Australia!

If you look real close you can see Lil Zombie Jibber (bottom right) has got himself a little soul patch (wee goatee) & a labret like his larger human counterpart! He's also missing his foot which was apparently gnawed off in his attempted escape from the other zombies. Didn't do him much good did it?

Happy Year of the Tiger!

Happy Year of the Tiger and I hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day! With this being the beginning of a kitty year of course I had to make some kitty-esque items... kitty Batlings, that is.

  

I have also added a Maneki Tora (aka Lucky Tiger) to my Neko series.

This Maneki Tora is already spoken for but I'll gladly stitch up a custom one if requested. I plan to add some to my Etsy shop in the near future once I get through the pile of critters that are already clambering across my desk!

I see London, I see France...

...I see this Cherub has no underpants!!

(Click the image to see the listings second thumbnail image which shows the back of this ornament *snicker*)

And here are a couple other unique handstitched items I whipped up for this Vday:

There's also Love Monkeys & Burning Heart Pillow covers in my shop!

Don't forget to order your gifts this week, no matter where you're shopping online, to get them in time for Vday, which is a Sunday this year.

Zombie Chuck & Purple Flying Monkey

I just listed a new Zombie Pin, Chuck...

Chuck is so not happy about his current state. But, that's what happens when your the slowest one when the zombies arrive which Chuck apparently learned the hard way. Just because your former friends are only a *little* green around the edges doesn't mean they're any less of a Zombie.

See listing for more details: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31831620

& a Purple Flying Monkey Ornament

This was inspired by the Dresden Files series (the books, specifically) mixed with The Wizard of Oz.
This ebil yet kewt ornament is cut, pieced together and sewn completely by hand, making each one unique and OOAK!

See listing for more details: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31830683

Purple Eyed Kooky Crow Pin Brooch

This kooky Black & Goldenrod Crow Pin is cut, pieced together and sewn completely by hand, making each one unique and OOAK (one of a kind)! The layered felt & a bit of polyfil give them dimension so they look cute from any angle.

♥ Approx 4" wide
♥ Purple glass seed bead eyes

If you'd like a different color combo ~or~ would like one as ornament ~or~ even on a snap clip just Convo me through Etsy & let's talk.

If you like this Crow you might also like his Green eyed sibling!

A Baker's Dozen of Batlings!

Thirteen bats later and I've finished the first batch of Batlings:

I've had a lot of requests for Mini Scrap Bats. Well these little cuties are inspired by my full sized Scrap Bats but are only about the size of a large crab apple and completely hand stitched!

♦ just over 2.5" Tall
♦ 4" Wide at the wings

Pin the Batlings to your bag or lapel to keep you company and give you a smile whenever you need one. The Batlings are very playful and absolutely adorable. Some have 2 teeth in already and others only have 1, they are only babes after all. The Blue & White sweetie (at the front of the pic) got his bottom teeth before his top so his got a bit of an underbite. He doesn't mind, just don't laugh or might get nipped! Besides it's just not polite and we like the Batlings to have some manners.

A quick note about the Yellow and Green Batlings on the left, they are brothers. As brother they have a sibling rivalry going... one loves old school Batman where the other loves the Joker. *Sigh* When those 2 start tiffing hide the breakables! What can you do, right? Batlings will be Batlings.

All work is lovingly done by hand so each Batling has slightly different expressions which lends to their uniqueness.

All are listed but 2, that have already been spoken for, and are here.

And you can even order a custom Batling here! I don't bite much and I love creating so don't be afraid to ask for custom items♥
