The Water Set is Complete!

and here's the final addition to the water set, a jumbo steam molecule:

It was difficult to think of a way to incorporate steam, but I had an epiphany one day and figured to slap some wings on the water molecule! And now he's ready to fly up in the air! I'll be getting it ready to add to a set of water molecules that include one of each phase to Etsy. But for now, he's ready to ship out by himself!

On a side note, Prim and Plush is getting a new Logo! We're almost ready to do some redecorating. woot!

Carbon Dioxide

I think my computer blew up. The one that I use for all my blogging and store upkeep. I'm slowly trying to transfer everything on my more dependable MacBook.

In an attempt to be more diverse and not totally focus on methanes, I tried to make carbon dioxde. Which I think is super cute:

On another note, I've been loading up on the yarn and will be trying to make more inventory! Hopefully we'll be prepared to do some craft fairs in the future!

I Love My Husband

He put together this animoto trailer thing for my website. It's really cute and awesome =)

Weekend Project: Ice...because it's cold out there

So this wasn't really my idea. It was my Dad's...who also happens to be a chemist at heart. I guess that's where I get it from. So thanks Dad! Here's the ice molecule:



He's braving the cold weather in a cute removable scarf! I seriously love the idea and thought it would be a really cute addition to the molecule family.

Check it out on Etsy!

Happy Valentine's Day! (Already?)

Maybe I'm jumping the gun a little bit, but we there really aren't too many holidays that are methane friendly, so Valentine's day it is!

I'm back from vacation and got to do some crocheting after 10 days of relaxation in sunny and WARM california/vegas! woot! Coming back to frigid temperatures and 8 inches of snow really doesn't make the return so pleasant, but it does make sitting indoors much easier to do.

So here's the female version:



And the male version:


I do think they look cute holding hearts, but I do love crocheting some hearts. I never really liked using heart patterns and prefer to do them freehand, so each heart usually comes out different. They're suitable for more than just Valentine's Day and hopefully will grow into charity work.

More cuteness to come!

Frustrated About Yarn

I have decided to revoke my rave reviews on Loopy Yarns here in Chicago.

Lately I have only been using one Peaches and Creme yarn, which I love because it's 100% cotton and they come in a multitude of pretty colors! I am also a fan of Sugar and Cream yarn, which seem identical to the Peaches and Creme, except that they are seriously lacking in the diversity of colors. So it seems the only store that sells this type of yarn is of course Loopy Yarns, which used to be great and made me all sorts of happy...that is until the past month and a half. Now the people in the store area always so nice and helpful and when their stock of Peaches and Creme started dwindling, and my Etsy sales were jumping, I kindly asked if and when they are replenishing their stocks of oh-so-pretty yarn because I was on a mission to keep my store nicely stocked. Now they've said the new shipment was coming a week later and I promptly returned only to find it still empty. I gave them another 2 weeks and came back to see it still bare and asked again whether their stock was coming in, in which they answer: it's definitely coming in the next monday. Of course I went back and there's no yarn and waited 3 more weeks and no yarn! I tell you, I don't think I can handle going back in there one more time to come out disappointed.

So here's to ordering my own yarn and never setting foot in that place again!

Booooo to you Loopy Yarns!! Boooooo!!
