Etsy’s New Look

Alyssa Zukas — Tue, 29 Mar 2016 07:29:13 +0000

So excited for Etsy’s new re-brand of the shops I just couldn’t wait for the rollout to show you. Here’s a sneak peak of the new header design. I think it’s great we get such a large amount of space to show off our branding now. Way to go Etsy!

Spring Edit – Fleece Half Sleeve Tunic

Alyssa Zukas — Sun, 27 Mar 2016 03:22:37 +0000

Great for those super lazy days! Check out my new fleece tunic with scoop neckline, open hem and half sleeves. Perfect for those winter-turning-into-spring months when it’s still a bit chilly. Here’s my first Geo Chevron one and I’ll be working on getting more designs up in the shop soon.

I just debuted a collection of minimalist jewelry in the shop. Everything can be made in either sterling silver, rose gold or 14k yellow gold. And check out the super cute packaging.

New and Improved Packaging/Branding

New and improved branding and packaging materials for Etsy. You’ll get one in every order. I don’t know about you but I don’t think there’s anything more exciting than waiting for a box of new stickers to arrive! Thanks to the hubby for putting up with my design requests. I think they came out pretty sweet though.

New straight arrow earrings now in the shop! Get them with a variety of silicone beads in colorful combinations. Also comes in a canoe paddle shape (if you’re a rower, not a fighter) More to come soon! Check it out here

Sneak Preview – Wool Felt Printed Wall Banners

Alyssa Zukas — Wed, 17 Feb 2016 04:16:42 +0000

While out shopping for wall art I had an idea… why haven’t I tried making my own? And so here’s my first prototype. A hand-printed (with my same stenciling method) wool felt banner for your wall. Love this color. Hopefully I’ll get it up in the shop soon.

UPDATE – It’s in the shop, check it out here

Our Favorite Gifting Trends – Etsy Finds

Alyssa Zukas — Sat, 30 Jan 2016 04:32:48 +0000

Thanks so much to Etsy for including me in their Etsy Finds email for their “Favorite Gifting Trends.” The orders are literally pouring in so I’ll do my best to get them out ASAP! I know everyone would ideally want them for Valentines even though my lead time is 4-6 weeks so I’m hustling to get them out.

Animal Hoodies Now in Adult Sizes

Alyssa Zukas — Sun, 24 Jan 2016 03:59:54 +0000

Did you see those animal hoodies for kids and wish you could have one for yourself? Well now you can, I’ve just whipped up a bunch of adult versions of my animal hoodies with ears and tails. You can choose the options you like. And now Mom (or Dad) and Baby can match! Check them out here. I haven’t gotten around to getting all the animals done so if you see one I haven’t made yet, feel free to drop me a line.

Fleecy Fox Scarves to Keep You Warm

Alyssa Zukas — Sun, 20 Dec 2015 03:49:20 +0000

Thought I’d take a quick shot of my new fox prototype scarf. It’s a take on a faux fox stole. Super warm and comfy sweatshirt fleece cut and sewn into the shape of a fox with arms, legs and super long tail. Geo fox face is hand stenciled on the front. Made of super soft 100% Combed Cotton Fleece, knit jersey on one side and fluffy fleece on the other.I’d love to make more animals soon but for now, he’s it. Check it out in the shop here

Sneak Preview – Fleece Circle Scarves

Alyssa Zukas — Sun, 13 Dec 2015 03:45:23 +0000

I forgot to mention, I was inspired by the constant downpour going on outside during Crafty Wonderland that I thought I’d make some warm weather goodies. Here’s a sneak preview of my circle scarves. Hopefully I’ll get them up in the shop soon.

UPDATE – They’re in the shop, check them out here
