Re-Opened!!

Well, it has been quiet here for a while, huh? That's because I've been in the middle of doing a bit of a major overhaul on the LLH shop. I am happy to announce that the shop is RE-OPENED!!!

But that's not all....

Luck, Love, and Hedgehogs Design's profits now go towards one of these top-rated charities: World Vision
Compassion International

So you can feel even more good about buying handmade goods from the Luck, Love, and Hedgehogs Design shop! I am very excited about this big change: it has been something I've been wanting to do for a while now. To know that your work is something that brings in money is quite a good feeling, but to know that your work is helping change the world for the better is an amazing feeling.

I could go on and on about feeling called to give back and feeling so blessed with my talents. This is the least I could do with what I have been given. Check out the etsy and the new Facebook page for updates as the shop starts out again.

In other news:

Propaganda Candy is still up and kickin', no worries there. Head on over to our Facebook to see the line-up of shows for the summer as soon as we release it!

Winter break is rolling to a close and I will be quite happy to get back to school. I have enjoyed my time at home, but I'm ready to be back on my own. And besides, I miss my NIU family. :)

Hope the holidays were wonderful for everyone else! Stay warm!

Can I Get a Rawr?

Now, that's what I'm talking about! (Fantastic picture, no?) It's time for some seriously stripey action around here: I'm in the tiger-making business. My friend Miss Emma the Animal Lover, has commissioned a particularly interesting creation: Emma wants a crocheted tiger backpack. You know, like the cute teddy bear backpacks little kids have? Yeah, Emma wants a tiger.

At first, I was a little wary of taking on this project when the third-quarter-mass-assignment-of-papers-and-essays is about to begin. But sweet Emma was so enthusiastic about it that there was no way I could refuse.



She even drew up various patterns and possible construction ideas for the thing. Quite helpful, if you ask me.

So, here I sit, crocheting a tiger's foot while the world outside is being coated in yet another quote-on-quote snowstorm of the century.

Yeah.

Tell me it's the snowstorm of the century when I wake up for school tomorrow.


In all honesty, school should have been canceled today. The school bus that runs our route got stuck in the ditch of one of our poorly-groomed country roads. But then again, who am I to speculate? I just drive to school everyday.

In other, more lighthearted news: there were adorable mini snowmen on the roofs of several cars in the parking lot after school today, mine included. Someone must have been feeling extra festive, or something. Regardless the motive, that gesture of frosty kindness was a nice reminder that my friends are awesome.

Hehe.

Try to survive this horrrid winter storm, will you?

Yours,
Carolyn Michelle
