Yes please


In my recent internet adventures I found the greatest studio ever from the geniuses at Somethings Hiding In Here. They make beautiful funky things in their beautiful funky  home/studio. It is my inspiration for maintaining my new studio (i.e. my dining room takeover). It's funny to clean it one day and have a craft explosion the next. 

Hope everyone's thanksgiving was delightful. Ours was full of friends and deep fried bird. delicious.

Sunday

So few hours left in the week. But look at this pretty little clock that I found while out rummaging today. He's pretty darn adorable and still works. Unfortunately the ticking that I thought would be delightfully nostalgic turned out to be quite mesmerizing and has already put me to sleep at my desk. Maybe it will just have to be for looks. This will be the third clock in our house that won't tell time properly. Fitting if you know us.

$$$


I pulled a bunch of prints together for my first print sale and my school's last print sale this past week. I'm becoming more efficient at busting out cards and having a lot of fun packaging and making thank you treats to send out with orders. I made this little guys to send all the way to Brooklyn!

The goal for this weekend is to get some scarves up in the shop and to get some sleep.

Where the magic happens

Although I tend to be kind of  a neat freak, it's nice to be able to drown in pretty things. I survived the post office this morning sending out my first etsy package, not too intimidated anymore. 


And I RECEIVED my first etsy package today too! She's a sleepy little polar bear that makes me smile and is my new best friend.  You can others like her at Olive Bunny Books.

Busy bee



That's my little faux bois card (2nd in on the bottom right) on the front page of Etsy! Whoohoo!

I've spent the last two days cutting, pasting, stamping, sewing, taking pictures, posting, drinking lots of coffee and smiling because I'm actually doing it! The shop is up and running and I'm slowly adding things throughout the day. It's kind of nerve wracking to be so exposed but hopefully someone will like my things as much as I do. I have a tontonton to learn but I'm confident that I will learn as I go. For now I wait....


Oh my gosh! I did it. There's no turning back now. I think I'll put in my two weeks notice at work tomorrow. yes...
You can find these tiny guys in MY NEW SHOP!

tada!



Inspired by pick-up stix spaghetti, this is my first attempt at stop motion. And my first time using IMovie. I'd say it was a success. As successful as an 11 second movie can be :)





YES! We win!

Obama eve



Just filled out the absentee ballot after many lies to campaign callers affirming that I had indeed already voted, yes democrat. Although it was fun to be consumed by daily updates and have a logo to paint on everything for twenty months it is very exciting that it will all be over tomorrow. I also have no idea what news stations report for the three years in between elections. And am I allowed to wear my Obama paraphernalia post campaign?
