Chipkey Creations
A online shop for crochet cactus and other home decor items based out of Whitby, Ontario Your place to get hand crafted items, plants that never die and more.
I strive to make creative crafts that people will find attractive, and enjoy owning. I make everything everything myself and do custom orders. What's a Chipkey? Chipkey is a nickname my father called me as a child. It's a cross between a chipmunk and a monkey. He called me this because I would climb up on him and my laugh sounded like the noise a chipmunk makes. I have since become a bit more tame, and quite frankly too big, to use my dad as a jungle gym but the name still means a lot to me.
I'm moving in a couple couple of weeks and not that confident all my stuff will fit in the truck I rented. So we're having a moving sale!!!! 30% off most products. Also if you live in Toronto and parts of Durham (between Pickering and Oshawa) use the promo code PORCHDROP for a gift with purchase as I will be dropping off the items and saving on shipping. π΅ποΈπ΅ποΈ
P.s.Etsy seems to be weird on mobile and you might not see the sales price until you click on the product.

Three little cacti π΅π΅π΅
This guy is one of my favourites, I really like the contrast between the hard concrete base and soft plants.

Love the flower on this little guy! Really balances out the more muted colours of greens of the cactus.

Big cactus friend! π΅ποΈπ΅ I got a few plants over the summer and some of them are still alive, so I had to include them in the photo.

Mini cacti π΅ A great way to add some personally to your work space without taking much room or worrying about watering.
It's Thanksgiving in Canada. So fall is officially in full swing. I'm planning on making pumpkin spice latte mix this afternoon, before dinner with the fam. I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for being in my life and I appreciate all the love and support. ππ¦ππ

I love the terrariums, they take forever to make but the result is always worth it. .
This guy's is going to be at Etsy Made in Canada on the 28th, which is so soon. How is time always flying?
Bruce and I living our best cacti lives. Trying not to be pricks and such. π΅π΅π΅
Thank you to for taking the photo last weekend in Kensington Market. If you couldn't make it out, I'll be at Etsy Made in Canada on September 28th. In the meantime I'm going camping this weekend and I'm very excited since I haven't been this summer. What are your long weekend plans?
It makes my life when customers send me pics of the cacti after they bring them home. This terrarium was a favorite of mine and I'm so happy it looks so amazing in it's new home. π΅π΅π΅
The weather is calling for thunderstorms today which will be great for my tomato plants (that are miraculously still alive) so I'm sharing a cactus that reminds me of a clear sunny day.
If you're a gardener let me know how your plants are doing this summer.

This cactus is made from Acrylic yarn, and stuffed with Polyester fill, all in the 2 inch clay pot. This cactus is removable and can put into a different container. It stands about 6 inches above the pot.
Busy taking product pics. Will edit and post new stuff on the website after the long weekend.
I plan on spending as much time outside this weekend as possible. πππ
What do you think of this green? The tag says it's 'Grass' but I'm not convinced.
I can't believe that May is almost done and we are halfway through the year. Time fliesss! As you flip your calendar to June don't forget to mark the 9th for the Good and Gooder market! It's at Junction Craft Brewery. I'm so pumped since I love their beer and there's going to be so many amazing makers there.

Happy Victoria Day! I hope the extra day off is treating you well. I'm feeling very productive, I'm currently making some bread and veggie stock for the week. This afternoon I'm going to enjoy the weather and prep for my next show which is the Kensington Market Art Fair next Sunday. Which you should check out if you're in the Toronto area.

I probably need to organize my storage bins of stock a little bit more before the Night Market at the Station Gallery on Thrusday. I'll do that today after I get some coffee in me π΅π΅π΅

One week till the Night Market at the Station Gallery. Tickets are $5 online and available at the door. The first 50 people to order online get a cupcake from Cupcake Ju**ie. I'm pretty sure there aren't many left so definitely pre-order if you are planning on checking out this event.

Update on the bag I half done a few weeks back. I finally decided to order some handles. I got this green set from GLLeather Accessories on Etsy. I've taken it on some test drives. I really like it but I need to put something I'm the bottom to give the whole thing a bit more shape.
Happy Easter to all! I hope the long weekend is treating you well! π£π€ππ
Heads up my website is down at the moment. I'm changing domain hosting companies and it takes a few days to do the transfer. In the meantime www.etsy.com/shop/chipkeycreations
So Mercury is officially no longer in retrograde so I have zero excuses for anything till July. Do you use Mercury or a full moon as an explanation for odd stuff happening in your life? β¨βππ

Happy Friday! Just wanted to share a pic of this fellow who when to their home earlier this week. π΅
Do you have any plans for this weekend? If your free on tomorrow (Feb 23rd) from 10-3 you should come check out Jump into Spring at the Toronto Botanical Garden. There's going to be a lot of gardening people and vendors (also me if you are not a plant person). Definitely would checking out.

Thank you to everyone that came out yesterday. If you couldn't make it, my next show is 'Jump into Spring' at Toronto Botanical Garden on Feb 23rd. In the meantime, I won't be able to process orders for the remainder of the week since I will be on a mini vacay with some friends for the rest of the week.
I was scrolling and minding my own business before bed and noticed that's my hand! I had no idea the shop was going to be featured!
Move over, friendship necklaces. Now it's all about the friendship avocado. https://etsy.me/2FhLtMf
I sold out of the white pots at my most recent fair and not sure if I should bring them back or not. Typically people actually swapped out the white pot to terracotta. Should I bring them back? Is there any other colours that you think would look nice with the cacti? I would really appreciate your help as I try to figure out my spring collection.
I hope everyone had an amazing winter solstice and Christmas! From now till the end of the year you can sale 15% off all orders of $20 or more.

This is Just About Soup (Including Recipe) The seasons are changing and we are entering my favorite time of year when it comes to my wardrobe. I love fall because I can wear the same outfit the entire day without sweating. Also it typically rains less than the spring, so Iβm all for it. If you follow Chipkey Creations on Instagram you mi
Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends! I hope this weekend was a good one! π¦π¦π¦
Fall? Fall! I've been burning pumpkin scented candles and got ornamental pumpkins and crocheting pumpkins. Very excited for the change in seasons πππ
Depending on how big your phone is this cactus photo might be at a one to one scale. This guy is about 3.5" inches or a bit shorter than two apples stacked on eachother.
