Is it spring yet????

Maybe this will help.. ;) At least it will help take your mind off of the below zero temps outside!


I recently purchase a vintage loom to make these beautiful flowers.. I saw them on another blog and instant love. I have always loved yarn, but I can't knit(yet)so here is my newest hobby. I have been making so many though I had to do something with them.

I made little yarn flower broaches.. they are $5.00 each and available at the shop and the Valentine Craftacular! They would make the sweetest Valentine gifts! The shop is open today 10-4 & Sat. 10-1


I have a reunion with my ex-coworkers from Madison. I can't wait to see everyone! :)
Have a great weekend!!! xoxo!

in the works...



I have some new purses in the works.. I am hoping to finish a few up soon! I have been cleaning my sewing room & trying to reorganize before I start any new projects! I also REALLY need to get my butt into gear with the Craftacular only two weeks away!



Here they are cut out! I love the mix of fabric, cottons, polyesters, canvas and wools! I have ten ready to sew! I can't wait.. these will also have somewhat of a closure I think! Sometimes things work out differently then in my head! (they are my own design/pattern as well!) One of a kind!!!





I wanted to show you my cute hat too...(kind of hard to see w/ my hair being black as well.) I bought it a few yrs ago on Etsy. It was custom made for me and I love it! It is soooo cold outside (here anyway) my beetle said 4 degrees and that is with out the windchill!

Stay Warm everyone! xoxo!


P.s. Rachel from SmileandWave Featured my "get crafty" necklaces on her blog.. all because I am a fan of her blog and left a comment! Thanks Rachel! ;)

Blythe wigs....

I my gosh I found the coolest thing a few weeks ago! Blythe WIGS!!! Most of them are from Hong kong that I have found so they take FOREVER to ship. Sooo worth the wait! I think it is truly adorable. Jada & I have been having so much fun with them. Alis is the one with the new do & Bella we trimmed her hair up (it was a little unruly)
She is the one with the cutest little snow bunny outfit on.



OK so I am a big dork.. Blythe's make me happy! What can I say! ;)

Happy Tuesday!
xo!
