Crafts and Coffe, Dried fruits, and Yogurt.

MMMM..
My cabinets are filled with dried fruits (rasps, blues, bings, crans!) yogurt, granola, peanut butter crackers, pudding cups, and blackberry pie!! Oh and cinnamon swirl coffee ;)


So.. I have recently connected with Hermeone of perishables.etsy.com and he and Laura of hierapparel.etsy.com are doing me the gracious favor of letting me take photos of them with my items!! I've been working on some nature goodies! Mmhmm. I have taken my branch and dried nature collection out of its box and begun mixing it with felted pieces and fluffy yarn!! I'm making some necklaces...
My goal is to make some natural necklaces for them to model and maybe some handmade bags and other pieces...
Meghan is coming with me and we are going to make a day trip of it, and spend time in Philly and at her apartment there!!!!!

I'm keeping my hands and mind busy on the sewing machine, sewing up some bags and pouches for the PUNK ROCK FLEA MARKET this Saturday at the Chameleon Club!!!
I really hope I do well there.. I didn't get the chance to participate in the PRFM in October as I was visiting my friend in Olympia!!!

Also I just shipped out my round robin journal to Rachel today... My theme is NATURE.

I also shipped out a top to FINLAND! I was so excited to ship there!!!


ALRIGHT- Bye For Now.

Fellow Etsian Wedding :) & Haircuts.

These two cuties got married on Saturday! They are in Thailand right now for their honeymoon.
Look at Katie's etsy!!! katiepatatey.etsy.com


And do you ever look at etsy, and say, WOAH. I want that haircut?
Well .. I want these girl's haircuts:







Also- On another note:
Rachel-Marie of knittydirtygirl.etsy.com, Amber of raimbowtree.etsy.com, and I have started a circling sketchbook/journal.. with themes.
We basically mail each other one of our journals and the other person draws in it, write in it, whatevers in it!! I'm so excited. We're going to rotate monthly..
I need to get mine over to Rachel. I plan on mailing it out on friday for the month of May :)

Kitty!

Can I please just share with you this precious photo of my Kitty?

Coffee.

Oh man. It is 5:15am. I have officially been up for a little over an hour.....
Everytime I stay at Dandon's and he gets up for work, I can't sleep for about an hour!!! He wakes up at 4am! Yuck. He works so freaking hard and such long days!!

Anyway. I wanted to write this to say two things.
1) I WANT COFFEE. SO BADLY RIGHT NOW. MORE THAN I HAVE EVER WANTED IT IN THE MORNING... EVER. !!!!! I don't even know why!! I think it's because I haven't drank coffee in about 3 days... It really is addictive, isn't it?
2) I am SO excited about jewelry making! I went to the craft store to get supplies and I'm obsessed with it. I got toggle closures, chains, jump rings, pendants, these fuzzy velvet beads in red and grey, and THEN CANDICE GAVE ME A MILLION NECKLACES TO TAKE APART!! I'm dissecting them and upcycling them ;)

I'm getting into the chain and bead look.... Strange.

So far I've made this:

and I just love it!!

I also have been REALLY passionate about my Olympia shell necklaces.. but guess what? No more Olympia shells.. I seriously think I'd have to go to some obscure beach to obtain more shells with the beautiful natural holes in them.....

Here are some views of my newest Olympia Shell necklace:




I just really love making them. They are like precious gifts! The smaller ones are SO light weight too. I'm just so happy to have created them!
