lostinasupermarket.com Interview!

The folks over at the super-fab online art and design collective (it’s not a website) lostinasupermarket.com asked me some fun, pressing questions and I did my best to answer them with my own brand of glee-filled apathy. Read the interview by clicking the pic below.


Rockawaii Horror Picture Show!

What do you get when you cross the Japanese form of cute known as “Kawaii” with The Rocky Horror Picture Show?

Why, THE “ROCKAWAII” HORROR PICTURE SHOW, of course!

My newest Etsy listing depicts four of the beloved characters from the cult film The Rocky Horror Picture Show, with a kawaii twist!

Setting up shop — and a note on commissions

I’m excited to report that I will be opening a brand new Croshame Etsy shop this Saturday, November 27th!

Since the demand has grown significantly in the last week, I have been working my bird-like fingers to the bone to complete work for the shop. And for those who wanted to spread the Croshame spirit around for the (un)holidays, fear not! There will be some new, handcrafted “Horror-day” items listed just in time for Cyber Monday!

I also wanted to address the inquiries about having commission work done: I will be accepting special orders, requests and commissions for most things found in the “Antigurumi Gallery” AFTER Christmastime. I really wish I could have forseen this sudden influx in interest and take on some stuff right now, but unfortunately I have to finish some other projects first. I will let everyone know as soon as I am available for commission work, and will also be posting a whole page on the blog about pricing and what will be available.

And a big THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! It’s been great hearing from appreciative folks and meeting new people!

(Hey, look at me being thankful on Thanksgiving! Who would have thunk it…)


Yeah, it’s another effin’ blog.

Hey everyone. I’m excited and proud to present this space to showcase my crochet art, as well as introduce you to some other awesome artists, impart some techniques, share good (and bad) resources, and lay down some of my artistic mental anguish for you. The Croshame blog will probably be in transition for a couple of days as I set it up and figure out the WordPress details (and exactly what I’m doing here). If you want some wheres, whos, howfores ‘n’ whatzits you can check out the various pages I’ve set up that explain the situation as I’ve envisioned it thus far.
Okay, I’m gonna go now, but you can stop crying and let go of my apron strings. I’ll be back for more posts soon, including an entry about why Debbie Stoller is my new arch-enemy.
Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned!
