Bathing time!

Hy there,

Today I thought I might share a new experience with you. My beloved Panko was a little dirty (and by a little I mean a lottle) but I was really afraid of washing him because I thought he might be less fluffy afterwards. Well, he wasn’t. Rather Panko gained even more of his former fluffiness! *-* Here’s some pictures of the progress:

When Panko was soaked full with water he was really, really heavy. That made brushing his paws a little harder but it was possible though 🙂 I used normal soap, a brush (for dishes) and a washcloth to clean him.

Drying takes a long time because the alpacas get really really soaked up with water. I wrung Panko out when he was in the sink but it still takes a lot of time to get him dry. As soon as he stopped dripping I took him off the drying rack and put him on the heating. After that he was as cuddly as ever and smelled really good too 😀 I even cuddled him in the same night.

ATTENTION: I found out after that, that putting your paca on the heating will shrink the stuffing and you’ll have to restuff your friend if he gets to floppy. So please only dry with air + sunlight if you don’t feel like restuffing =) 

So that’s everything I know about washing Alpacassos. I guess one last tip would be to brush the snout, ears and paws when they’re wet because I think it will make a difference to the smoothness when you don’t.

Best regards,

Ermahgerd – Boxes!

Since I recently ran out of boxes to send my crafts in, I figured it was time to get new ones. Now they’re here and they are ready to be drawn on! Why I would draw onto my boxes? So they look luckypacatastic of course 😀 But see for yourselves!

Meet the models ^ᴗ^

Hello there,

Today, my new two alpacas finally arrived! They’re really wonderful and I love them. But take a look yourselves:

They are both sitting on the couch pillow I mentioned in the post of the 29th of August. It is available on Etsy. As you might or might not see, it’s a sushi roll. I think it’s really cute and with 40*15cm it’s really comfortable too.
Anyways, the two alpacas are really cute but sadly not for cuddling. You haven’t seen Panko in a while, but I can assure you he is cuddled with every night and well… You can see that 😀
The thing is that the snout and the legs get kinda grey by and by. And that’s nothing I have been able to fix with washing. Also he’s a rainbow alpaca which makes showing coloured clothing kinda hard. So that’s what these two cutie pies are here for. And I’m pretty sure they’ll be doing a good job ^^

Maybe I can give you a little foretaste of what will (maybe) come. Because all the following things are just ideas and have yet to be tested and made!
I am thinking of something royal and of a little pirate costume too. Also, there will of course be a Halloween special! Also, I am thinking of using this Internet trend as an inspiration…

So let’s stay curious!
Oh, by the way – the two alpacas do not have names yet. I can’t manage to come up with two really good names, but I will tell you when I have!

See you then,
Hannah

Updating: August 29th

Hello there,

It’s been a little while since my last post so I felt the urge to update you on what has happened. First thing:
I made a Gentleman Alpaca Set which is now available on Etsy.

I think it turned out pretty neat. Also, it has become Pankos everyday wear since I made it and he’s so super cute wearing it! x”>

Second thing:
I’ve had orders! Two of them! One was for a pair of Dango earrings and the other one for the Urf the Nami tee Cosplay that I made. So yesterday I sent them 🙂 It was really, really exciting to have my first official customers and I am super happy that I managed everything in time.

That’s actually everything that really happened, I didn’t manage to make new articles because of the exams that take place in ca. a week. Well, besides one new article but that one I will show you later. You can of course also check it out on Etsy. But, just to give a little foretaste: There will be various pillows being added – stay tight! 😉

As always: Best regards,
Hannah

A new accessory for alpacas

Hello everyone!

Today I want to show you what filled my morning: I had the idea that all these super cute bows you always see in animes would also look super cute on alpacas.
So I made my way into my room and worked a little and a lottle and out came these two bows:

How do you like them? I think they turned out pretty cute, but I guess they don’t suit rainbow alpacas as good as unicolored ones. However, they still fit and I hope you like them as much as I do.

Best regards,
Hannah

Presenting Panko – Meet my fluffy friend

Hello everyone,

Today I’d like to present Panko to you. Despite his name, I am not talking about the Japanese breadcrumbs – although that is where his name comes from.

As you can see, Panko (the breadcrumbs) is pretty awesome – It tastes great and in the right picture you’ll notice it to be all fuzzy. Now that is why my Panko is called Panko.

Panko, to make it short, is my fluffy alpaca which was recently bought at the Gamescom. I absolutely adore him. He is so fluffy and sweet and cute and awesome and I can’t get tired of him. He is a so-called Rainbow Alpaca made by Alpacasso. There are several shops on the internet where you can buy these cute little guys but as I said mine was bought at Gamescom 2015.

Now in his everyday life, of course, he doesn’t wear any clothes.

Because he’s an alpaca.

Well, but of course under the circumstances of being introduced to some people, I couldn’t let him wear nothing. So I sat myself at the sewing machine and made him a cute little collar with a tie. He looks just so handsome now, don’t you think?

Now I hope you liked this little introduction and am leaving you with – of course –

Best regards,
Hannah
