This palm sized pet followed me home from ICE. His name is George, and he likes to rest under the basil trees on my deck. Isn’t he pretty? Look at those points!

If you want to adopt your own palm-sized pet, there will be plenty more here over the next few days.

So I made this dress to wear to a friend’s wedding, which is Sunday. It fits perfectly… if I was 3 inches shorter. *headdesk*
Ah well, into the Etsy shop it goes.

The awesome Hyla Waldron over at the EarthyFinds blog interviewed me a little while ago for an eco-friendly feature! Now it’s up, yay! Go check out the rest of her blog, she reviews some really great products, and I just love her tagline: “one reader at a time”.

EarthyFinds writeup

Thank you Hyla!

When I first moved over here from blogger, I had lofty ambitions for this blog. I wanted to do a weekly feature of another Etsy seller, for one. Of course after the first few, the holidays were approaching, and then the house fell in on our heads, and my lofty ambitions mostly went out the window, ha.
So in an effort to get myself back on track, I’ve joined the Etsy Bloggers Street Team. And hey look! They have a featured monthly artist! This month’s is StormyDesigns, who makes some really adorable jewelry from polymer clay. Check out these ladybug hair ties, perfect for any little spring princess:

She also has some vintage teacups I’m sort of coveting for a project I have in my head… hrm.

I just spent the last 10 minutes trying to figure out why on earth the item I had just finished listing wasn’t showing up in my shop.

And then I realized it was because it had sold…
*headdesk*

It’s been that sort of day

I had to take a wee bit of time off after the holidays. Things might have gotten a little crazy!
We spent 10 straight days working on the house, I thought I might collapse. Sadly, not enough got done, but isn’t that always the case?

Anyway, a few new designs popped themselves into my head over the past week. They all went into the Etsy shop, even the ones I wanted to keep for myself. Again… isn’t that always the case?? lol.
I signed up for a project called 52 Crafts with the goal of using that as a reason to make things I don’t give away or put up for sale. Let’s hope it works! One of my New Year’s resolutions is to keep a few of my things for myself, and to buy more stuff from other crafters I admire.

anyway… new stuff!

This is the Punk Roctopus. He makes me squee, even if punks don’t squee. There’s a tiny safety pin poked thru the metal on the open edge. Punk Roctopus!! (I know, but I couldn’t help it)

I also started a Time Traveller’s series of necklaces and earrings.
So far I’ve done London, Morrocco and Paris. More coming I think. I’m sort of becoming obsessed with travel and places-gone-by.

I made the Etsy Gift Guides again, and this time I actually got a screencap!!

pipe dream, I know, but wouldn’t this look much better in our backyard than that thing I built out of cinderblocks and iron grates???
