new things in store.....

Heyo.....

its been forever, I know. It has been difficult juggling my hobbies with school, sports and whatever else life has to throw my way. It is especially difficult to blog about these things on top of that.

But I am back and want to try even more to stay on top of things and keep updating this thing. I have been involved in a number of projects which I hope to share soon and have many more lined up!

So whats new..I just moved into a new apartment with my significant other and it has been a lot of work but fun. Almost everything is in its place and the numerous trips to home depot will stop soon I hope. The layout is much better than our last place and we now have an office! This makes us happy. I can post pictures when I am mostly satisfied with how it looks.

toodles for now but not long...i hope

V-day Card making

I have a number of cardmaking supplies at home so I invited a girlfriend over to make some valentine's day cards. We experimented a bit with twilling and it was fun. I ended up making a few cards for friends and my mom:

Here I layered patterned paper with a wide ribbon and actually sewed the button in the middle of the heart.

I made my own twilling tool by knocking off the top of one of my large blunt ended needles. I dont think its the best but it created some decent shapes.

A couple more:

This one is my favorite I think, probably since I am biased by bugs.

I think the recipients enjoyed their surprise cards. I like to interpret this overly-commercial holiday as a chance to make any of your loved ones feel special.. not just a significant other.

Happy Valentines Day!

grand opening of my esty shop

I finally decided to take the leap and start up my etsy shop...whoo!

It has been in the works for a while since I wanted to develop a good number of items that I think are sell-worthy. It took a while to upload photos since the size restriction are rather tight, so I think I'll take a break before starting another listing. I think it looks weird but I guess that is how it is when viewing your own work.

Anyway here it is:

A while back I began to make a number of flat felt owls that I use to decorate bags, pillows, shirts, etc.

I made a black tote bag to put this guy on and now its on sale!
