New Double Bear Packaging and T-Shirts!

Click here to view our new adorable Double Bear shirts :D!

We're really excited about our new packaging - look for it in our stores soon - especially Kooky on the third floor at 520 N. Michigan Ave, chicago, (the Nordstrom's building.) We're making a whole new toy section!



We are slowly going to try and switch to using the more proper tylerponcho.etsy.com rather than kaeti6.etsy.com.

okay...I should be working, but I'm excited.

As I was driving home today I had a glorious epiphany of what I should make for a show, such as Plush You. I came home super excited about making this mysterious item, and started drawing and planning. Checked my e-mail, and I got into Plush You 2010!! So everyone will get to see this new, and glorious being.

So...My husband's going to be gone for three days at a funeral :(...and I have to marathon make monsters because Constructor Craft Fair is on Sunday. And now I'm so distracted...

I suppose the only solution is to order take-out, have a dance party with Tyler Poncho and get down to work!

:D


almost forgot the pics...

Monster making pays off for Madison College graduate - News

Finally...new blog post.

I mostly just put updates on Tyler Poncho's facebook page...
Let's try to go in order of all the things I should've blogged about.

+ Plush Team at Kooky! (I blogged on plushteam.com)








+ Love & a Sandwich drew a picture of Tyler Poncho Toys!



+ Craftacular

We met Natalie from OrangyPorangy who's opening a shop, Zip~Dang!, at 2606 Monroe St, in Madison. She'll be carrying our little Prince Teds.

Pics of our booth up on the stage at the High Noon Saloon.






+ Portfolio Show!

That was great, it's hard to believe it's already over...Surprisingly, I made a lot of sales from this show, and got a lot of great feedback on my work.

+ Rush Custom Order

I received an order for a full Tyler Poncho two days before the craftacular, and with classes, graduation, portfolio show and everything else I wasn't sure I'd finish it on time but I did :D!



+ Upcoming....
