Lucky Bags! (or Fukubukuro)
Going on sale at Moon’s Creations this Thursday at 8pm EST, these special lucky bags will be made available. They will contain 3-4 assorted dolls, buttons, necklaces, charms, stickers, and items not yet added to the store! The price of these items alone would be well worth over $70, but will be sold for only $50! Quantities are very limited.

Because I want to put as many goodies as possible in the bags, Moon’s Creations will close from 8pm on Wednesday through 8pm on Thursday so I can prepare the bags. I will post here as soon as the shop re-opens.

Stay tuned for more sales announcements!

13 Buns of Halloween - Glowing Ghost Moon Bun

Booooo!!!
Are you scared to see the series end so soon?

It's time for Halloween and all the 13 Buns of Halloween are excited to go trick-or-treating tomorrow, including this last little Ghost Moon Bun. 

Have a wonderful and safe holiday!

13 Buns of Halloween - Zombie Moon Bun

Staggering into the 13 Buns of Halloween series, it's a Zombie Moon Bun! He'd be happy to eat your brains for you, but he'd be happy to trade you for a turtle. He just really likes turtles.

Just one more day left of the 13 Buns of Halloween. I hope you've enjoyed the series!

13 Buns of Halloween - Vampire Moon Bun and Octopus Moon Bun

 Today's design is an Octopus Moon Bun!

This design makes me laugh so hard. 

Yesterday's design was a Vampire Moon Bun. I'm so sorry for missing this post here yesterday. Life kinda just blew up everywhere and hasn't stopped until well.. ok, it hasn't stopped at all. Life at a fast pace with little ones.

13 Buns of Halloween - Owl Moon Bun

Whoo! Whoooooo! Who is this little Owl Moon Bun knocking at my door?

I think this might be my most favorite so far. Don't get me wrong, I've absolutely loved each doll I've made for the 13 Buns of Halloween, but I think this one's my favorite. I don't think I'd be sad if this one doesn't sell.

Do you ever keep any of your artwork?
I usually don't. In fact, I only own 2 Moon Buns. A Robert Smith-inspired Moon Bun and an Azuki-Arai Moon Bun.  I couldn't find it in my heart to separate myself from them. Although in fairness, I did offer the Azuki-Arai for sale and celebrated internally when no one bought him. haha!

13 Buns of Halloween - Devil Moon Bun

Today's Moon Bun for the 13 Buns of Halloween is a Devil Moon Bun. I really enjoyed this one too. The devil face on the hood is just too sweet. 

I've been trying to get the shop ready for the coming holidays, but I still feel like I need a million hours to get all the dolls I want made. I'm also planning on taking part of NaNowriMo this November. Yikes! I don't see any sleep in my future.

13 Buns of Halloween - Mummy Moon Bun

This one made me laugh. The goofy and totally non-threatening expression makes me cackle. 

 

I made comment on other sites about mummy's curses, but maybe I should have warned myself. Swipey (our baby girl) has thrown her sleep schedule to the wind and I am exhausted. Our Bun (2 year old boy) in an act of solidarity seems to have decided to fight naptime. Ah well, at least they're cute.

13 Buns of Halloween - Black Cat Moon Bun

Meow! Meow! 

Today's 13 Buns of Halloween doll is a Black Cat Moon Bun. 

 

No bad luck here, just lots of happy Halloween smiles.

13 Buns of Halloween - Snake Moon Bun

We're back for another week of 13 Buns of Halloween!
Today's design is a slippery snake Moon Bun!

Do you ever have an idea for something and while working, it becomes something totally different, but way more radical than the original idea? Yeah, that's what I had with this piece. I'd planned something different and as I worked, it this little bunny wanted to be a snake and who am I to argue, right? 

I'll try to make the original design another day, but I'm totally in love with this snakey fellow.

13 Buns of Halloween - Brown Bat Moon Bun

 

Eek! Eek! It's a little Brown Bat Moon Bun!

 

I'll be back on Monday with a new Moon Bun from the 13 Buns of Halloween series. Have a spooky weekend!

13 Buns of Halloween - Skeleton Moon Bun + Small-sized Moon Buns

The 2nd doll for the 13 Buns of Halloween, a spooky Skeleton Moon Bun!

Have you noticed the theme yet? I was inspired by the Halloween costumes marketed towards babies, with their comical hats. I always think the look like the costume is eating the child.

 

You can now purchase a small sized Moon Bun directly from any basic Moon Bun listing! Simply select the "Small - 2.75" (7cm)" option from the Options Menu.

13 Buns of Halloween - Blue Monster Moon Bun

The 2nd doll for the 13 Buns of Halloween, a bug-eyed Blue Monster Moon Bun! 

Mr. Moons always has the last say on my dolls. When he saw this one, he laughed out loud. I deem this little monster a success!

13 Buns of Halloween - Werewolf Moon Bun

 A howlingly adorable Werewolf Moon Bun starts off the 13 Buns of Halloween!  

You can be sure to catch release posts with this tag:  #13BunsofHalloween

Also new to the shop are these grinning kittens!

Moon's Creations is Haunted!

New Halloween Ghosts are haunting around the Bunny Mines! They come in different sizes and the bottom two glow in the dark!

I'm Back!

Thanks to everyone for their kind support, I'm back online and slowly getting all the programs up and running on the new computer.

The amount of work ahead of me is a little overwhelming, but one thing at a time. Thank you for your patience!

As a big thank you, I'll have a mini-event this October, The 13 Days of Halloween. Running on weekdays, starting on October 14th, I'll post a special Moon Bun celebrating Halloween and my wonderfully supportive followers.

Bad luck - Trying to raise money for a new computer

Talk about bad luck!

My laptop died this past weekend. It's not the most ideal thing to happen ever, but certainly now when you've had your business closed for the past 2 months while having a baby and you've got a pile of doctors' bills.

Anyway, under normal circumstances, I'd have a sale and advertise like crazy. This time, I've just got my phone. So... I've opened a gofundme campaign to try to raise the money I need. 

Of course, I'd rather make the money through sales at Moon's Creations than beg for donations, but I can't add any new listings until I get a replacement computer. If you're inclined to help me meet my goal, I'd be ever so grateful. Orders are still shipping out on time and I'm accepting custom orders as well. 

Thank you for your help!

New at Moon's Creations!

 

Recognize these guys? Early I'd released them as  patterns, but now you can purchase them as ready made pieces! I've been adding and re-listing dolls all week at Moon's Creations.

New Pattern: Doctor Hexipus

Traveling through all of time and space, Doctor Hexipus is here! He wears a fez and bow-tie, which he says are very cool.  This cutie hexipus (an octopus with only 6 tentacles) is now available for sale at Moon's Creations and my Ravelry shop for instant download.

New Patterns!

I hope you are well! I'm still waiting on this baby to arrive (2 weeks from my due date), so I hope I can make a few more patterns before she arrives so we'll have a little extra money. 

 This week, I've added 2 new patterns to Moon's Creations and Ravelry! You can now make your own Nyan Cat wristlet or this super adorbs bunny rabbit. 

If you do make one of these patterns, I'd love to see photos!

We're open... kinda

I just reopened Moon’s Creations under a limited capacity, since I’m still awaiting the arrival of my little one and can’t really make it to the post office. You can now purchase this Zombie Bunny Pattern with optional Regular Bunny instructions.

This is my first time offering downloadable patterns, so I hope this works well. If it does, I hope to offer more patterns in the future.

Available at Moon’s Creations or on Ravelry

Moon's Creations will re-open at full capacity on September 1st. Thank you!

Pre-Maternity Leave Sale!

Moon’s Creations will be closing from July 1 - September 1, because I’m having a baby! Yay! While closed, I won’t have an income, so any money would be a great help. haha! From now until the shop closes, save 25% off your purchase using coupon code: BABYSALE
https://www.etsy.com/shop/moonscreations

Coupon is also valid at my Storenvy shop, where I put discontinued dolls: http://moonscreations.storenvy.com/

Teddy Bear

A Teddy Bear has joined Moon’s Creations today!

Kappa Doll

Kappa Doll - New at Moon's Creations today.

I'm hoping people will like him enough that I can make more. I had a lot of fun making the flower "plate" on his head and want to make a variety of colors.

I'm the worst!

Ready for some truth, so it's been a while hasn't it. I'm so sorry! Blogger is such a pain in the bum to update I just forget to update here anymore. 

To make it up, look! New designs!

Cats are back at Moon’s Creations! These are just the first two. I plan to add more in the next few weeks.
These pudgy kittens are the product of months of reworking a design and I’m pretty pleased with them. They take a lot more effort and time carefully cutting out those teeny, tiny paw pads, but I love the effect.
While I’m posting, I should probably mention my shop will be closed from July 1 - September 1, while I prepare  (and recover) from the arrival of the new baby.

Whisper

New doll! This is Whisper. She’s a tiny little bunny so, so soft.
Available at Moon’s Creations.

Fluff

I love how this little Bunny turned out, especially since she's released on April Fool's Day. While stitching her mouth, it just ended up being a cute little smirk. I love when dolls naturally take on their own little personality. She looks like she's got something going on. 

Fluff is a bigger doll, measuring at 4.25" tall. But she's so sweet! Sadly she took up all of the yarn I had on this skein and since there was no label, I won't likely be able to recreate her. 

She's available for adoption now at Moon's Creations.

Crocus Bunny

Crocus is a new little lop-eared bunny I’ve added to Moon’s Creations. She’s very small and made of out a mohair I’ve had in my yarn stash.

She’s available for purchase at Moon's Creations!

PI Day

Single Serving Blackbird Pie in celebration of PI day at Moon’s Creations.

And the winner is...

A big congratulations to Meghann M. of Chesterfield. She has won the Amigurumi Bonsai!

Thank you to everyone who entered my very first raffle! I had such a fun time running it, I fully expect to do more in the future.

Also in the future, moar trees! Thanks to the wonderful feedback, I've decided to work on a few more bonsai trees to offer for sale at Moon's Creations. I'll definitely post when they are available. <3 br="">

Fancy Bunnies

New at Moon’s Creations! These two little Bunny Rabbits have finally joined the shop. They are a little more than impatient about Spring getting underway. 

(Can you believe it’s taken me all week to finish them? Can you believe I chose this project because I thought I could finish it quickly? What happened to my lighting fast crocheting skills? Oh, that’s right, motherhood.)

Psst! If you haven’t entered the raffle to win the amigurumi bonsai, there’s still time!

Pink Moon Buns!

New to the shop! 

Basic Moon Buns in a variety of pinks! 

I've been working to slowly incorporate a larger variety of basic Moon Bun colors to suit everyone's desires and I thought what better color to bring into the shop for Valentine's Day. :D

*

In the Bunny Mines, I've finally turned the corner in my pregnancy and entered the wonderful second trimester. I finally feel like I have some energy and I'm trying to take full advantage. We were in a car accident with a deer on our way home from visiting family a few weeks ago. Luckily, everyone is healthy, including our two dogs. 

 

But now I'm in the horror stages of looking for a used car. Nightmares! I absolutely hate cars and only look at them to avoid hitting them. ARGH! Why does car searching have to be so stressful? Wish me luck, Bunny Fans.  

For the time being, please be patient with shipment notifications. Mr. Moons has been shipping orders during his lunch break and doesn't get me the tracking numbers until he gets home from work. We're still sending out Moon Buns on a regular Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule. <3 br="">

Mini Lunar New Year Horse

Gung Hay Fat Choy!

January 31st marks the beginning of the year of the horse, so why not celebrate with a tiny horse!

This one of a kind doll is now available at Moon's Creations.

I'm back!

Moon’s Creations has reopened!

While away, I created a new design. Little Bears! These bears look kinda like bears, kinda like puppies, and kinda like monkeys. They are the first design I’ve made, which were inspired by my 1 year old son. I hope you will enjoy their soft fur and sweet faces.

Vacation Times!

Just a reminder my darlings, I'll be closing shop tonight to start my stay-cation through the 27th, while I refresh and recharge my creativity. Just the thought of letting my mind rest has already resulted in some great ideas! 

I'll be back at the end of January with new designs.

xoxo
