Etsy Love

I'm loving this Scrabble charm from HomeStudio.etsy.com , a perfect gift for the hard to buy for person on your holiday list this season. Remember...buy handmade.

Handmade is Where it's at!

It's getting to be the holiday season and I think we all know what that means. Get yourself on over to etsy and buy some handmade goods. I recently updated my shop with quite a variety of goods & supplies. Splatgirl is always listing fabulous things and some of my favorites are Fawnfredrickson, allysonhill and HomeStudio. Who are your favorite etsy sellers?

Cupcake

I was lucky enough to get some time off work during one of the best weeks of the spring/summer thus far. Today I met my friend Splatgirl for an outside lunch at a new local favorite Brasa (delicious!) and then we hightailed it over to a place we had been dying to try, Cupcake. They also have patio seating so we enjoyed our cupcakes and iced drinks outside. Even though we weren't overly impressed with the cupcakes we decided we would go back and try the lunch menu sometime soon.
On a crafting note, I very recently I finished up some super fun projects and listed them for sale in my etsy store.
Sneak peak below :)
As far as knitting goes I've been in a bit of a slump, only cranking out a dishcloth or 2 every so often. I'll get the mojo back sooner or later.

June 1st

Last night as we exited Target we saw this ominous looking cloud. Target was our last stop so we headed home, following this crazy cloud. When we got home the severe weather sirens were sounding so we stood outside and watched :) Stupid I know but the cloud had just passed us and the weather radio said the severe weather warning had expired in our area. It never did anything but it sure looked strange.

I know it's been a long time since I've stopped by here and I'm hoping it won't be that long until the next post...I'm turning a new leaf for June. Lately I've been busy crafting for my etsy store - I updated today, planting flowers, working, watching the LOST finale, I'm newly addicted to Jon & Kate Plus 8 and my 365 project is nearing it's half way point.
I think Summer is finally on it's way although I am really enjoying the mild weather. This Summer I plan to make a quilt for the Quilt of Valor organization, participate in a few small knitting swaps, mountain bike with Kyle, get out a little bit on my motorcycle but generally just relax and enjoy the weather.
See you soon!

Etsy Madness

I've been etsy crazy lately, there are so many neat-o craft items out there! I'd like to share where I've found these super cool things.
From 12 o'clock and moving clockwise:
Modern Felt Tooth Fairy Critter from bezzab (even though I'm not planning on losing a tooth any time soon :)
Weimaraner Note Cards from KiasKards
Irked Tooth Pincushion from buttonarcade
Robot Patch from jodieflowers (I've got my eye on another one too!)
I also picked up a couple other things for gifts that I can't show right now but trust me, they're cool. Don't forget to support etsy sellers, you'll find just about anything!

Tooth Carrie

Yesterday I recieved the cutest little tooth pincushion in the mail. I ordered him from buttonarcade on etsy. I may stick a magnet on the back and place him on the fridge. You see, I'm a dental hygienist so I'm all about the teeth. My blogging friend Mariko even nicknamed me tooth carrie. I try not to go too crazy with tooth paraphernalia but I couldn't pass this sad guy by.

Self Proclaimed

Come summer, this little decal will be making its way onto my car window! I bought it here.

Been Beading

Results here.

Petals & Stitches

As much as I love to plant new flowers in the Spring, I enjoy getting rid of them to put out the mums and pumpkins for Fall. Today there is definitely a crispness in the air that screams Autumn.

My etsy store still has some fun things in stock, with this cool air moving in it reminded me that the holidays are right around the corner!

Casey and I spent a nice relaxing day together. I did a little sewing and beading, and Casey munched on a bone. See my new etsy listings here.
Isn't it funny how he spreads his legs way out when he's gnawing away? Gotta love the dogs.
Tonight I plan to knit, I'll show progress soon. Thanks for hanging in there with little to no knitting content on my knitting blog!

Etsy Shop Update!

I finally listed some knitting accessories in my Etsy shop!

Shop Til You Drop

I've set up a new etsy shop and I'd love for you to come over and see it! Check back often as I have some ideas I hope to get into the shop soon.
