Yay We're open!

The Sleepy Robot 13 Shop has re-opened. I have made a good size dent in the orders received while I was out of town. I should have all pending orders shipped by the end of the week (hopefully, the weather has been horrible where I live the last few days). Thank you all for being so patient. Can't wait until the craziness of the holidays is over so I can get to work on creating some new products!

Halloween Comes Early At Sleepy Robot 13!

Since I'm one of those people that celebrates Halloween 365 days a year and I just use the holiday to stock up on supplies, you can only imagine that my little robot minions would feel the same way. Most of them have already picked out their costumes and wanted to show them off for you!



















You can view more robot Halloween Craziness by visting the Halloween section of my shop HERE.

856 Etsy Sales!

Today I reached 856 sales on Etsy and along with countless other sales offline it feels amazing! Next month on the 9th I will celebrate my one year anniversary of opening my Etsy shop. I am still amaze in less than a year how fair I've come. I definitely couldn't have done it without the advice of other amazing crafters, all of you who wrote about me on their blogs and having the guts to try things that others wouldn't think of, without knowing if they would be a success or I would fall flat on my face! Sleepy Robot 13 definitely put a hole in my wallet for a while, but before there can be feast there must be famine...or maybe I should just say it takes money to make money. I started Sleepy Robot 13 with 3 figurines (2 of which weren't even robots) and the hope that I could make a little money to pay my bills while I was out of work and today it's more than I could have ever hoped. My goal is to reach 1000 sales by my shops one year anniversary. 144 sales in 3 1/2 weeks, think I can do it?

Zombie Toast Vinyl Update!

Sorry guys no Zombie Toast vinyl any time soon ): All the companies I've contact about turning my guy into a vinyl figure are way more expensive than I can afford right now or anytime in the foreseen near future. I've received a lot of emails over the last few months from people inquiring about or requesting a vinyl, but for right now it's a no go. I'm still working on the mold making process to produce a few resin Zombie Toast figures but it's a very slow trial and error process. I haven't stopped looking into companies, but have not been successful yet in finding one that will do the small run I am looking for (Most companies I have talked to will only do runs as small as 3000-5000 pieces because of the size.) I will keep you guys posted as more develops!

UpStage Artisan Alley Pics

I thought I'd share some photos of my booth at the Upstage Artisan Alley show this past weekend. For it's first year it was a great show for a great cause. If anyone has the chance they should definitely check it out next year. This is actually a smaller set up for me. I decided not to take as much jewelry with me and I usually have a second smaller table of one of a kind figurines. I also had a backdrop to put up but there wasn't enough room for it. I was a little bummed because I ordered a new vinyl banner for my booth but it didn't arrive in time. i ended up making one by hand out of poster board.
