Thank You!

The One of a Kind Show was AMAZING... it was more then we could have ever imagined and went completely beyond our expectations!

We could not have done it without the love and support from old friends, new friends and our amazing family. It was a huge success and we want to thank everyone for helping Moxy and Toots get there! Thank you, thank you, thank you... much love to you all!

Speaking of new friends - we collected many over the five days we were in Toronto! From those who visited us, to the staff of the OOAK, to our booth buddies, everyone was wonderful!

We wanted to share links to just a few of our new crafty friends. Not only are they all super awesome, they are all super talented... so talented, I had to pick up a few goodies for myself! I will be sure to take some photos for my next post.

An Amazing Start to 2012

We are happy to announce that Moxy and Toots will be at the One of a Kind Spring Show and Sale in March! We are working like crazy to make lots of monsters and munchkins to fill our booth, which will be in the Rising Stars section of the show. Come see us from March 28th - April 1st at the Direct Energy Centre in Toronto.

As well, we have made our modeling debut! Moxy and I can be found on the home page of the show as a featured artist and product. We are so excited and cannot think of a better way to start the new year!

Visit the Moxy and Toots Facebook page to get a coupon for a discount on tickets, and to enter a draw to win a very special spring monster!

The "Studio"

Recently, as part of an application to a spring art and craft show, I was asked to take photos of my "studio" space. This made me quite nervous. My "studio" is simply the seriously outdated, spare room of our house! A tiny space with no room for storage, I had no idea how I was going to make the shots of my "studio" look ok!

I spent a day tidying, and waited a few more to get the perfect light (which did not happen). In the end, with a little help from photoshop, I think the photos captured the fun and quirky side of me and my monsters. Here are a few and I will let you know how my application goes!

2012 Sneek Peek


This cute munchkin is the first of a series of four that will be ready for 2012. We are testing out this great site called Spoonflower. It is amazing! You can print your own custom fabrics to use for all your crafty projects. You can even shop for fabrics created by other artists. Moxy + Toots thought it would be so fun to make stuffed toys using illustrations of these sweet faces! Hopefully you love them just as much as we do! If the response is good - we will be making more for sure! Thank you Spoonflower!

Moxy + Toots decided that the best gift this season would be a mini monster to keep your keys company! We love it so much that what began as the perfect stocking stuffer, will become a permanent addition to the Moxy + Toots line and available all year! We will be making them in three different shapes, Moxy, Toots and Dot, and with key rings or clips! What could be more fun than mini monsters that can go anywhere with you!
