Okay peeps, I need help.

I want to participate in the artist market next spring for the first time but I dont really know what people might want.

I already have 2 kinds of bookmarks, small lino cut prints, 2 bigger kitty prints, crochet frog keychains and little crochet mushrooms that you can put a lighter/ lipstick into.

what can I add? all ideas are appreciated

I added a few pics of some of the stuff

If I acquired a Todd from Drawfee plush, I could so make my own Tobby by embroidering the face on the hat and giving him a little outfit. I have the power. This could be beautiful

Hexagon-shaped box complex made with toilet paper rolls.

... to sort colorful paper clips.

This is a very practical low-effort and low-cost project.

Sequins, Piñatas, and Teddy Bear Cake: Celebrating Two Joyful Years

Oh my my, two years of motherhood! My baby is growing so fast—I can hardly believe it.

This milestone has given me a chance to reflect on the journey, and one thing stands out: I’ve finally had the opportunity to try so many creative projects I’ve dreamed of for years. The irony isn’t lost on me. Before becoming a parent, I thought I’d never have time to sew sequins or dive into elaborate crafts. And yet, with less free time than ever, I’ve somehow found a way to make it happen. Motherhood brings a kind of resourceful magic.

Here’s a peek at what I created to celebrate my toddler’s second birthday:

Baby Shark Piñata

Finally, I made a piñata! This has been on my "things to make" list forever, and it was so much fun to create. I followed this helpful tutorial: How to Make a DIY Piñata, used Baby Shark coloring sheets from Kids Activities Blog to copy the shapes.

Teddy Bear Cake

This project kept me up at night, as my wannabe-engineer brain wrestled with how to make it work with my skill level and time. I had dreams of making a 3D teddy bear cake but ultimately decided to keep things simpler—and I’m so glad I did!

Here’s how I made it:

Cake pans: Two 6-inch round pans

Recipe: Eggless birthday cake (any box or standard cake recipe would work i would imagine.)

Details: I used white chocolate candy melts mixed with leftover cake tops to shape the ears and snout. The frosting was a classic American buttercream. It turned out adorable and delicious, even without the 3D ambition.

Felt Birthday Crown

I overcame my long-standing fear of sequins to create this beautiful felt birthday crown for my toddler. Using a single piece of craft store felt (9x11 inches) and some embroidery thread, I made an adjustable crown that can grow with her for years to come. It felt so satisfying to finally tackle this project—and the sparkly sequins added the perfect touch.

Balloon Garland

Since July, I’ve been inspired by balloon art, especially twisting unique shapes. While I couldn’t find the cool balloon designs I wanted (everything was sold out!), I improvised with what I had. The garland still turned out quite pinterest-y , if I do say so myself!

Pipe Cleaner Teddy Bear Party Favors

I LOVE making pipe cleaner animals. I glued on magnets, pin backings and key rings on to them for optimal practicality. I’ll share more about this craft in a future post. Sadly, photos came out streaky—it turns out buttery fingers and phone cameras only work for glamour selfies.

Furoshiki-Wrapped Gifts

Japanese cloth gift wrapping has always fascinated me, but I’d never remembered to try it! For this birthday, I used leftover fabric scraps and even some of my own scarves to create elegant, reusable wrapping. It’s officially a new tradition.

Wow wow, that was a lot. Now to get ready for my wedding anniversary and Valentines day..

Okay, byeeee <3
