Random Seller - PterodactylPants

So, still trying to keep with the monster theme a bit tonight...

I have a random etsy seller for ya'll...

PterodactylPants.

I just stumbled upon this shop recently while researching all the wonderful monster finds on etsy. I've been scouring etsy for the awesomest of the awesome monster makers out there and this is one of the shops I found that seemed to fit the bill.

Check it out:






























I ♥ them all.

For more info about this seller, you can check out their BLOG.

Topic : Monster Crochet Patterns

So... I'm trying to stay with a theme here...

In honor of my giveaway (check THIS PAGE for info) I decided to do a post on crochet patterns... crochet patterns for monsters to be a bit more specific.

These all are just amazing and I would love to have these patterns in my pattern library... They are just wonderful... ((Really, guys... I just ♥ me some monsters... really I do.))

So, here, check these out... and don't forget to check out the post before this to find out about my monstey giveaway... :)

Something new... and a giveaway?

So. I don't know if any of you are aware of this or not, but I've been pretty busy lately with trying my hand at crocheting...

I've gotten really into it and have started making up my own patterns and am even throwing around the idea of starting my own etsy shop to sell some of my creations...

On that note, I wanted to show you all my latest obsession:

































I've been creating these little monsteys non-stop for a while now... all of the ones pictured have all ready found homes, but I'm constantly doodling more ideas, and purchasing more yarn to make more. I've currently got 2 all ready started and have so many ideas for more...

Each one is one of a kind. Color combinations, facial expressions, size... no two are identical.

Yeah.

So, that is what has been keeping me busy and is partly responsible for my lack of updates...

But to make it up to you, I've decided to host a give-a-way. Up for grabs is one custom, medium sized monstey. All you have to do is leave me a comment letting me know what you think of my monsteys, what color combination you would like if you win, and possibly some ideas of what types of posts you'd like to see show up on the compendium. You don't have to be a follower of my blog to win, but it'll make me love you more. :)

A winner will be chosen at random on Friday, August 13th. Please make sure to leave some way of notifying you (for example: in your comment or through an email to compendium.of.cute[at]gmail[dot]com) if you've won.

And please, spread the word of the giveaway...
if you mention it in a blog post or tweet (with a link to this page) that'll earn you another entry (or 2) in the give-a-way... just toss me an email letting me know about the blog post or tweet...

Thanks for reading the blog, guys, and hopefully I'll start making the time to update this little bugger more frequently than once a week. 0_o

Zazzle / ->Monster search<-

New type of post this morning...

I stumbled upon a site recently called Zazzle. Have ya'll heard of it? Basically, I believe, the gist of it is, they take images and put them on pretty much any type of item... like t-shirts, mugs, totes, etc.

I'm currently not too clear on where the images come from... I haven't explored the site to the best of my capabilities yet, but I did stumble upon some horribly cute monster images being turned into horribly cute t-shirts. All of which I would like to own, pretty please?

Anyhow, I wanted to share them with you... here... today. Have a look:

Topic: Narwhals.

How in the heck is it possible that I haven't as of yet done a post on narwhals?

Really?

Well, I'm here to rectify that... This blog needs a post on narwhals... am I right?

So here goes...

Narwhals: (Cause I ♥ narwhals)

I've been busy lately kiddos.

I've tentatively started up my own etsy shop... it's not up yet, but I have the name chosen and have began working on some branding ideas...

Plus I am needing to make more items to have available in said shop...

It's keeping me running and very, very busy.

Hence, the lack of posts. :(

I'll try and be better.

Anyhow. Today. A post.

A color post.

Green and purple.

because those are the colors of the current project I'm working on...
