Dear The World,

After much thought and discussion, Steff and I have decided to pack up out blogs and move across town to Blogger. We’ve enjoyed our time here at WordPress, but are ready for a change in our internet lives. We would love you forever if you came to visit.

The NEW and official home of Green Elevator Industries is….

We’re happy to introduce the first item in our plush creature series! After a little sketch book planning, we’re happy to say we have a few cool items coming up. The first we have to show is Ms. Molly Maroon Monster. Hand stitching fabric was a lot of fun, and we’re looking forward to combining this technique with some of our other crocheted amigurumi styles we’ve done in the past. Molly is hand stitched faux fur/felt, stuffed with foam stuffing, durable, playable, fun. Enjoy!

Dear World,

You’ve seen creatures made of yarn, and you’re about to see them made out of felt. or fabric. or fabric and felt. or yarn and felt and fabric. You get the idea. We’ve been hitting the sketch books this week to branch out more into the wide world of plush. It’s a change of gears going from all yarn to mixed fabric, but we think this will really allow us more freedom with the designs. Should we be this excited over felt? Perhaps not… but it makes us happy. With the success of our crocheted hats on Etsy , we will also be creating some more “creature hats” combining felt, yarn, and other fabrics as well.

To satisfy our crafting ADD, we’ve also been knitting up a storm. Megan has started and restarted and restarted again (don’t ask) a woven cable scarf (pictures to come). Steff has finished an awesome cabled leg warmer, and will finish the other after a trip to the craft store ends her “I’ve run out of yarn and I need to get more before I move on to another project and forget this one forever” crises. Wow, knitting seems to be giving us the heck lately! Not cool knitting, get your act together.

Love,

The Ladies of Green Elevator

Ice Cream Monster AAaaAaah!

greenelevator — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:18:31 +0000

This is the most frightening creature EVER!!!!!

….If you’re an ice cream cone.

This fellow is super nice but he devours frozen treats like.. well… a monster. Stands at 5 1/2 inches high. Crocheted using cotton candy light blue and sprinkled with dark blue berry polka dots. Eating a crocheted strawberry ice cream cone. Cute, slightly crazy, and as sweet as the ice cream, this is our Ice Cream Monster!

Halloween – A Crafters Most Important Holiday

greenelevator — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 04:23:34 +0000

Hi Ho! Megan the VooDoo Doll here!

Dorkyness, fun, costumes, playing pretend, hand-made things EVERYWHERE. My goodness, I love this Holiday!!!

Steff rocks the socks off of themed-party costumes, but Halloween tends to be my one big “turn myself into my own craft project” day of the year. This year was my first non cute/cartoony costume. I’m proud to say, I creeped a few people out. Victory!

I needed a costume that I could make in under 4 days and had 90% of the materials. Wednesday-Saturday (Halloween Night): crocheted tights and sleeves, made dress from burlap, felt heart, drinking straws+glitter+styrofoam+pain+hot glue+mod podge = pins, crochet headband with strips of fabric for hair, black eye pain, bright red lips stick, brown tights underneath for warmth. ta da!

Purple Creature Hat

Feel like pretending you are some insane adorable wild creature in the middle of winter, but it’s too cold? FEAR NOT! We have a solution. As usual our solutions are made of yarn. Here it is, The Purple Creature Hat!

We enjoy inventing new creatures as much as celebrating our favorite real life ones. Here is the first of our “Creature Collection.” This hat is super warm, so it is sure to bring play-time back into your winter days.

Crocheted in the round using super soft fuzzy yarn. Purple hat, dark pink ears, and extra long ties. This hat is designed to rest right at your eyebrows for maximum warmth, and creature transformation. Enjoy!

Hi-ho!

Megan the Geek here! We we are not only business crafters, but full time personal life crafters too. Yesterday was a very special day for me:

1. Yesterday was my birthday (yay!)
2. (More importantly) My Rainbow Brite Halloween Costume was recognized by GeekCrafts.com! I take great pride in the nerdyness of myself and the things I make, so I’m pretty excited about this. You can check out the post at http://geekcrafts.com/rainbow-brite-costume/

Black Kitty Cat Hat

New item for sale on Etsy!!!

Ok we admit it… We are on a fast track to being crazy old cat ladies one day. We are huge cat fans here at Green Elevator, so we couldn’t help making a Kitty Cat Hat.

This hat was crocheted in the round with super thick soft yarn, has extra long ties and tassels, with kitty ears. We thought it would be perfect for Halloween, or just fun to celebrate cats and cuteness any chilly day of the year!

We would like to start out by saying… we are NOT cold weather fans. Seriously. Not at all. We both whine and complain from about October-April. However… In our great battle to defeat Jack Frost, we have a wonderful excuse to make millions of cute hats, scarves, mittens, sweaters and so on. Right now Steff is in the middle of an amazing complicated sweater. I am the child who never grew up, so I’m been making a series of themed hats. Our first to show… The Sea Monster Hat!

Loch Ness gave sea monsters such a bad reputation! Clearly, they’re a nice fun loving bunch. Care to join the party? This can be your official Sea Monster Hat to go play under the sea, dress up for Halloween, or enjoy any other chilly day of the year.

This hat was crocheted in the round with soft fuzzy aqua and purple yarn. The hat has dainty ear covers, and extra long ties and tassels at the end. Accented with a sea monster style and beads.
