It's Finally Here!

That's right. It's what you've all been waiting for...

My shop is up and running!

I want to say thank you to Jill, for introducing me to etsy, Marissa, for doing a great job capturing my creations, and to Jason, for modeling for my shop.

There will be more items up soon. Thanks for your patience people!

AhhhhChoooo

I called in sick today. This cold just refuses to go away and I needed a day to just rest and fight it. But I did not want to be totally unproductive either.

I've had this big bag of leftover tool pieces and I could never think of how to use them. Then I found this easy no-sew tutorial from a lovely site, Treasures for Tots. My tutu looks a little scraggly because they were not even sized scraps but it was super easy to make. I'm going to add it to the rainy day costume box in my classroom.

My kitty Murphy letting me use her at as a model. She wasn't really happy about it.

Peace, Love, and Lots of Fluids!

Oh Internet

So my man Jess thought a picture I had sent him was so cute that he decided to post it on a public site for all the world to see.

Let me back up a bit...

I was going through my closet to try and clear some things. Found the bottom half of my boyfriend's Chewbacca costume from a few Halloweens ago and decided to try it on. Was so silly I just had to photograph that moment for him. He happens to be in London trying out the whole world traveler thing. Anyways...

Friend of a friend sees the picture on the site and shows it to said friend. Who then proceeds to notice that I have about 70,000 views. So weird. And slightly frustrating that this picture is what's being noticed with no connections to this site or my etsy store. Well at least I got my 5 seconds of internet fame.

You stay classy world. I know I will...from now on.

French Apple Awesome

Saturday night was spent making this french apple tart from Ina Garten's recipe. It was actually really easy, even if I didn't have a dough making blade on my food processor. Definitely gonna pull this dessert out again next time I want to impress someone.

I want to say thank you to Jason and Brian for lending me their kitchen to make this. I made this in the kitchen while they played Halo 3. Wonderful Saturday night.

Thanksgiving Aftermath

Ugh...so full....

Friday, friends and I went to grab some coffee near the lake and on the way spotted the neighborhood tree lot set up! I had to run in and smell the holidays. Seriously no one has yet to create a scent that duplicates christmas tree.

Later that day the fates where on my side. My ex-coworker, but still good friend Jenn, called me up to ask if I wanted to help decorate the office where I used to work. I was to keep a tradition going even if I no longer was apart of it. It was awesome to reminisce and see the place again.

Here's Jenn reading madlibs from last year.

Sorry for the awkward soup eating picture Jenn but I needed a shot of the desk decor.

How early do you start your christmas decorating?

Peace!

Happy Turkey Day!

Lots of adventures have been happening. But none so post worthy yet. In honor of over eating and making lots of food day, I am attempting to make an apple pie this week. This is also in avoidance of doing actual work on my store but hey ho. Anyone have a good pie recipe to share?

Peace, Love & Dressing

News!

Took most of the day off today to do a photoshoot for my shop. Lovely Jason was my model with me accompanying him. I want to thank Marissa for being our fabulous photographer. The pictures will be up on etsy. Heres a little sneak peak of what we did.

I thought it was going to rain but it turned out to be a lovely day. Marisa took the close up shots of the items on the roof of my apartment complex!

Did I mention that I make felt flowers as well? You'll see them in the shop!

Thanks for sticking with me through my procrastination.

Love
