here's my card

just updated the shop with 12 new card wallets. i think i'm kaput on these little buggers, at least for now. i'll have a few new, different items to add hopefully by the end of the weekend.

almost...but not quite

i added a few more items to my shop last week. almost made it to 50 but fell a little short. finally busted out the alexander henry pear fabric and added a few items using it. card wallets seem to be a popular item so i'm off to make more. instead of five i'll probably make ten.

i'm still in the process of painting the bathroom. got all the green up and a coat of the blue. i'm not really digging the shade of blue i chose so i might have them exactly match the fabric for the window treatment. i did for the green and i don't know why i didn't go ahead with the blue too. live and learn.

remember this? i didn't name any names back then but i just got an email about it yesterday. read more here.

hanging with my gnomies

i'm about to add these little buggers to my shop. i had made these bottlecap pincushions a few months ago and decided they needed a little pizazz in order to list them in my shop. what better way then adding a few polymer stick pins. being they were mushroom in nature, i thought a gnome would compliment them perfectly. they turned out to be an adorable combo.

i also did a coffee mug pincushion with matching flower stick pins. it also turned out great. i'm having a hard time parting with them, but i'm sure they'll find a good home. hopefully, when i'm in maryland this weekend, i'll be able to find more retro-looking cups, i haven't had much luck around here. i had fun making these and am looking forward to my next batch.

on that note. i've updated today instead of tomorrow. i'm heading to maryland for few days tomorrow. flying solo again. my main agenda is to give my mom a little company while my dad is in iraq/qatar. tomorrow night we'll be hitting up insubordination fest where the copyrights will be playing. (no, my mom is not going to rock out with us! just brian and luanna) saturday we'll be partying with cole as he turns one. sunday getting a little shopping in, checking out the local thrift stores and ikea. pretty jam packed weekend. i'll be bringing my mom back with me so she can get a little mountain air this summer. i guess i better get packing.

skulls and spiders and cozies, oh my

i only listed a few new items today. i had to run a bunch of errands before leaving for illinois this afternoon and it's eaten into my update time. these were my attempts at ipod nano cozies before they got even smaller than they were. they're perfect to carry small items (lip balm, single tampon or small change) in, so they weren't a complete waste.

my pictures are all over the place. i can't get the lighting i want to be consistent and it's bugging the heck out of me. when i get back, i'm gonna be spending a lot of time figuring this out. at least you can see what i'm selling even though the pictures look like poo! oh well.
