New Necklaces

I have had these fabric pendants made for a while. They have just been sitting around because I just thought they needed something else. Well, I was at the craft store today and found a super cute owl charm and thought, "Aha! That's what it needs!" So I bought a couple of charms and added them to the pendants. I think they came out pretty cute. And I am glad to finally have them finished.

My new favorite shop on Etsy

I bought the cutest cards from http://www.aspenbleu.etsy.com/. And the packaging was even cuter than the cards. I didn't want to open up the different packages of cards. They were too adorable. So I took pictures of them before I opened them. So please check out this shop, it is too cute to keep to myself.

More Strangefolk

So I have found more pictures from Strangefolk. In fact, you can see all of them here http://www.flickr.com/groups/strangefolk/

Here is one with me hangiong out with an alien who wore one of my purses. And check out me selling to the crowds in the second one.

I applied for Rock and Roll Craft Show in December. Kepp your fingers crossed that I make it! Check out more info here: http://www.rocknrollcraftshow.com/

Something New!

I made five new necklaces that came out so cute and pretty. I love it when I can imagine something in my head and the actual end product is as good if not better than the idea. Believe me, it does not always end happily ever after. Dave's mom again sent me more buttons which I love and have added to these necklaces. Some are very old, I can tell by the card they were on or just by looking at them. I wish I had a way to tell what year they are from. I just think it would add to the story of the necklace. I am going to try to make some differnt color ones tonight. If I can ever tear myself away from Etsy.

Blog about Blogs

So I did a Google search of Saraprettyfun. I was just curious! And found this blog from one of my buyers and just thought it was so nice.

Missficklemedia has a wonderful shop of her own with so many beautiful necklaces and pendants. You should really check it out.

Ethan

Nothing too exciting today with babysitting. Since it was kind of a dreary day outside, I took Ethan to the mall to play in the kids area. it was interesting to hang out with all of the moms asking me questions, like how old is he and when did he start to walk. I quickly learned that you answer the age questions in months, year and a half is not a sufficient answer.

Later on, we went to the Botanical Gardens again. We went to feed the Koi. Ethan was doing a good job tossing the food in while sitting at the edge of the pond. That was until the fish fought a little and caused a big splash. He cried and climbed all over me as I tried to stand up and not fall into the water. He was done feeding the Koi.

As we were leaving, he waved at all the people again and offered them the stick he had found.

Goodies from Strangefolk

So I wanted to show off the beautiful things I got at Strangefolk. The Etsy t-shirt was made by Ginger of Serendipity. http://www.serendipity06.etsy.com/ She screen printed it and added sewn on leaves to the trees. Too cute! And I wore it all day. She also has beautiful unique necklaces with so much detail. I picked out a pretty blue and gold one and I am so in love with it.
During the show, I chatted with Denise, my neighbor behind me. http://www.deniselombardozzi.etsy.com/ Like I said in my last blog, her booth was so cute with paper chain garlands draped over it. I couldn't stop looking at it. I wish I had taken a picture of it. She had brooches clothespinned on a line in front of an old window pane. So creative! I knew I wanted one but couldn't pick out which one. Plus she had these felted cuffs with vintage buttons sewn on them and I couldn't decide which one I liked the best. I finally picked out one of each and I am so happy with them. They are so adorable!
It's a good thing I didn't have a chance to really walk around teh whole festival. I probably would have spent everything I made.
