Keeping Busy

I have a show of sorts coming up with my etsy street team so I'm building my stock pile of glass works (I depleted it pretty well at the paper fair with my mom). And I stumbled upon a cross breed of sorts. A glass pendant in a bottle cap on a ring:
What do you think - too big for a ring?
I tend to like HUGE jewelery so sometimes I'm a bad judge. Also note I have small hands :)
PS- The April Newsletter for Deni and I will be out on the 2nd!

The New Hair Do


I was so psyched for this hair cut, but def. had a smidge of a meltdown when it was done.


I've worked out my feelings for it and will not be shaving my head :) This is the straightened version, I'm working on the one that doesn't involve me doing anything to it, hey I need those extra 10 min of sleep in the AM!


What do you think?

Things to be Grateful For

This weekend I have A LOT of things to be grateful for, how often can you say that?!
- I am almost well! (Bronchitis took me down hard last week)
- My mom and I are vendors at a paper fair this weekend (I'll help her run a sizzix machine and hang out all day)
- I am going out with my girlfriends Saturday NIGHT!!! We will be running a muck in Plattsburgh and I can't wait! (Thank you Shan for always DD'ing and protecting us fab drunk girls)
- And I'm getting my hair done tonight - My Girlfriends Shannon, Jenn, Kristy, and Amy recently perked up their dos and I need a change. Cross your fingers for me I haven't been to anyone except my friend Jackie or my mom in years!

Glass Earrings





These are my new past time - Glass Earrings! They are like glass pendants but turn out into light weight earrings! I'm psyched about them. What colors/patterns do you think would work well with these?
I'm currently working on 3 special order blankets (a baby and 2 twin blankets) so my hooks are going double time! Also I just ordered a metal stamping kit and can't wait to get my hands on that! Off to pick up the house and maybe pour some soap today, what have you been working on?

Crafting Resolutions Update

How in the world is it March?
09 is in full swing and lets take a peak at my crafty 09 goals and how I'm doing.

- Learn to Knit- Whoo hoo got one stitch down, I'm not sure how into it I am but I will consider this one roughly 80% accomplished
- Have 50 Sales in my etsy shop - 50% of the way! 25 sales so far! I love my customers they are the greatest!
-ORGANIZE MY CRAFTING!- I have bout some organizing containers and have gone through a bunch of beads (ok a bunch is an understatement, I have a bead addiction) lets say this is 30% done
-Improve my Resin endeavors- I've ordered some molds and as soon as they come in I'll be on them and ignoring the cleaning portion I promise :) 10%
-Make Amazing bath bombs- Haven't touched this one but there is plenty of time 0%
-Accidentally lose 40 lbs while crafting - As much as it pains me I've been eating salads and trying to stand more while I craft I don't know which is working but I think I lost a few pounds! (not 40 thou)

How are all of your goals coming?
