Creepy Queen Magazine – Your new source for alternative DIY and fashion

Minnie — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 17:40:37 +0000

This new magazine focusing on the alternative side of the web look to be a great idea just starting out. Go check them out and give them some love!

Creepy Queen is a completely free online magazine/blog. We started because of a serious lack of spotlight on the alternative side of the internet. We aim to showcase indy designers and fashionistas, review alternative chains and products, and offer contests and rewards for our fans.

We are interested in all things DIY, punk, gothic, emo, scene, rockabilly, or whatever else you intend to throw at us!

Help celebrate the world of alternative and DIY style. Join the Creepy Queen member page and talk in our forum, or contact us with submission ideas!

This site leaves me wanting to host a party, invite friends around for dinner or even renew my vowels just so I can get married again or rather so I can host a reception again.

You can buy everything for your event from candles to gifts, place card settings made from balsa wood and even romantic bath products for the honeymoon. Check out the site for a full listing of products including exclusive custom order options for a personalized touch.

Plushies In Print

admin — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 04:38:07 +0000

Immedium, Inc. proudly announces the publication of The Woollyhoodwinks vs. The Dark Patch, the first story of the popular plush dolls known affectionately as the Woollyhoodwinks.

Illustrated by the creators Jeff Root and Scott Runcorn, and written by their compatriots Phil Dumesnil and Asa Sanchez, this inventive tale will spark the imaginations of both kids and adults.

The Woollyhoodwinks are five cuddly creatures who enjoy life in the richly textured Black North Forest. Junco leads the imaginative Ludic, the prankster Reddy, the reasonable Ozard, and the cute baby named Fluke.

I am not going to tell you the story only tell you to make sure you pick up a copy for your kids, for your coffee table or for your craft room as they inspire (weird as this sounds) adventure and hand crafting.

These fun little plushies are in an illustrated world that looks more like my last quilt project than the pages of a children’s book.

This book is stitched together to form a fun hand crafted illustrated story.

I can see the kids grabbing mum’s (Or Dad’s)handmade plushies off the shelf and using their imagination (yes, kids still have it) to come up with their own fun stories.
