Moon Bun Pinback Buttons and a call for charity

New in the shop today!
These beautiful and adorable (is there such a word meaning both? beauable? adoraful?) pinback buttons feature the artwork of my favorite artist K. Ryan.

Also, new in the shop are these adorable bunny rabbit origami sets. Each set comes with one large and one small rabbit with a notebook. These sets were created by my best friend to help raise funds for those affected by the disasters in Japan.

Ball-joint Dolls and Moon Buns

 Those who have popped by my flickr account, may have noticed I collect Ball-Joint Dolls. The baby-sized Moon Buns were made specifically because I wanted my dolls to have their own Moon Buns. 

Sometimes my dolls find their ways into photo shoots like these:




For Facebook users, I just noticed there is a counter on the Moon's Creations' Facebook Fanpage. If we're able to get 500 people to like the page, we'll have a special sale!

Custom Order Corner

This will be the last Custom Order Corner while I prepare for a show in Boston. I plan to accept new custom orders and commissions in early May, but I'll make announcements as soon as I can.

In the mean time, if you have a  request you'd like to see in my shop during this lull, let me know in the comments and I'll try to squeeze them in while I marathon in the Bunny Mines.

New-ish Easter Design

I always pick up things while shopping to one day work into my designs and I found these adorable Easter eggs that had half a color and half clear plastic, but they were too small for anything. Until I made the Newborn Moon Buns! 

Tada! Baby bed! 
These little ones are now available to tuck into Easter baskets or lovingly rock on a shelf. 


I've taken the pieces from the 31 Amigurumi in October series that were retired and in my personal collection and made them available again to the general public. 50% of the purchase price will be donated to the American Red Cross to help those in Japan.

Important information for Etsy users

Etsy has recently rolled out a series of new "social" features where not only shops, but buyers are search-able by their user names. This also opens up past purchases to the public through feedback left by shops. 

Privacy is a major concern of Moon's Creations and we want your purchases to be yours. Please read this article to see how this change in Etsy policy could affect you.

Two New Sheep


Two new Sheep designs have been added to the shop today!

A black sheep and a pink lamb. Never seen a pink lamb before? Neither have I, but I lurve fluffy pale pink things so I had to buy the yarn to make pink lambs with!

How you can help

Every morning, the first thing I do is grab my phone, scroll through Twitter and read Emails. 

Today, the first thing I saw was the horror of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. All day, I watched twitter, the news and social networking sites, looking for friends. (Thankfully they are safe, though sadly this cannot be said for everyone.)

My heart goes out to everyone affected by this disaster. To help raise funds for the American Red Cross, I created this simple sakura or cherry blossom charms. The entire purchase price ($5) is being donated to the Red Cross. 

You can also donate directly to the Red Cross by texting REDCROSS to 90999 to donate $10 to the Red Cross or directly here

It's so quiet

Hey Moon Bun Lovers!

I know I've been very quiet for several days, but I promise I've been working hard on making new designs and re-designing some old ones. The only thing holding me up is the stormy weather this week. Without sunny days, I can't get good photos of these new pieces. 

Your patience is greatly appreciated!

Good Luck!


I had so much fun making Lord Theodore James Whitney, I wanted to try my hand at making some Leprechaun Groundhogs!

Meet Rory Lochlan O'Doherty and Finian Patrick McCarthy.



As is tradition, I've also made a few Leprechaun Moon Buns with new sparkly hats, but what's that! A Leprechaness? Yep! I've made a cute little girl Leprechaun to accompany the Leprechauns!

Today is the last day to enter the Moon's Creations contest!
I hope these little Leprechauns will send you lots of luck!
