Once Upon A Custom Order




I always have fun with custom orders, sometimes there is more room for creativity and other times I pretty much follow as requested. Last week I worked on creating a plush version of a little character in a online kid's game, it was pretty fun, it took me six hours in total to finish and I use eco-felt to create him.

The Business Of Making Things

My adventures as an amateur blogger were fun, I had a blog 3 years ago and my posts were mainly DIY tutorials, I like learning new things and sharing is always good, as my Grandma used to say.  Time has passed and I got married, moved to a new home with my lovely husband, chop my long locks of hair off, drop a "day job" and  focused more on my "dream job", yes many changes, but they are all good and I feel now it's a good time to blog again, life is busier than ever, but would it ever slow down? I don't think so, and don't want to procrastinate on the things I feel like doing(even though I do that a lot).

I am the owner and designer behind Vivikas Shop, I create every plush from scratch and they are all handmade, no sewing machine, they are really handmade and I am very proud of al my creations.  I've been working hard and in this crazy world many times I am not sure if all my business decisions are right, but one thing I know for sure, I will always create, that is what makes me happy - making stuff!  Crafting, cooking, thinkering! All of that makes me happy and it's sometimes what I can do to make others happy.

So this is a little bit about me and things I like, just a little bit really, the beginning of my little corner called Nice & Plushy.
