Life set in motion

Comments (13)

Stuff and things. As always. Did you have a good weekend last weekend? Yeah sorry, i wanted to update this week. i didn’t get to it til today..sorry about that. My weekend was filled with errands and the kentucky derby and of course sewing.

I know y’all know yer getting handmade when you order from us but did you know i spent all last friday evening making the 57465834653847653874 buttons that go into your freebie bags and project pouches? Yes all made by hand...made by me.


I was sitting on the bed and realized i liked the way this looked..i figured i’d show you a corner of nat’s apt.


that is where i set my purse, cortsey of the funkybaglady via etsy, and my tote from Caitlyn. I just for some reason liked the way it was all framed in the doorway. I love that tote so much...and use it to death.

I took a quick picture of Nat while he was on the phone with lauren, getting directions. Look he’s drawing.


look closer at what he’s drawing


mustaches! go figure since he’s the guy behind moustache factory

We went to the studio to pick up my mother’s day gift. I don’t have photos of it yet since i gave it to her last nite but you can see it here... I really suggest buying some of this glass from Robert. His work is really really beautiful. But don’t buy the piece i want to snag soon! (my mom opened it yesterday since i am gone ont he weekend...she LOVES this stained glass piece VERY MUCH. yay!)

Now here’s somethign totally awesome and special as well. My wonderful friend Lauren opened an etsy shop. I IMMEDIATELY requested a special order from her. She happily etched it for me. Glass is a bitch to shoot but here you go:




yes now i can proudly proclaim i’m a type nerd while i drink iced tea from my new high ball. Thanks lauren you rule. but you know that already. Please check out her etsy shop...she can make you a cool glass too if you just ask her.

I made a new friend this week...i go let him out and play with him every tuesday. Meet kelso. He’s a great dane of my neighbor’s daughter. He likes to play with milk jugs.




this week was filled with zander, kelso, and some of this


and some of this


and thanks to erin for letting me borrow her swift...some of this



y’all should laugh. I was sitting there and zander kept saying ZEE LIKES YAAAAAAARN! He likes to refer to himself in 3rd person. But it is awfully cute when he walks around saying it 10 times.

The huge collaboration should debut this week. I just have the pattern layout to do. I’ve been having nightmares about this whole thing for two days now. And it’s kind of scaring me. But anyways..be sure to watch here for your heads up this coming week. I just have the shipping and etsy/paypal fees to figure out to add in and the pattern layout and it should be good to photograph.
I hope y’all have an awesome weekend.

Great pictures! Looks like you’ve been really busy.

And I love the aqua and orange fabric on the new pouches. Very 70’s! Love it.

That’s funny! I bought my mom a glass suncatcher for Mother’s Day but it was from a different Etsy seller. Pretty pretty!

Collaboration?

That doogie is awesome! I love great danes!

I can’t wait to see these kits you are putting together… I want to be on your mailing list absolutely! Been saving up my money for it : )

Kelso is sooo cute. Having grown up with just Great Danes as pets, I had to stop by and say how cute he is.

Love the buttons!

Love the big picture-y posts!

Your life is looking all fun and crafty…

9. Nell left this comment on 05/13  at  05:05 PM:

I tagged you!

10. Lauren left this comment on 05/13  at  10:41 PM:

w00t! Thank you for the props!

ALSO! The glasses are completed! I used 2 of Nat’s ‘staches to make stencils, and used 2 from ReadyMade (shhh, don’t tell) as inspiration for stencils… and here are the finished glasses that Leigh gave Molly for her birthday!

I blew the sketches up, and traced them, and cut out stencils, and traced them again… annnndddd:

I’m also going to start selling them on Etsy. I AM SO HAPPY WITH HOW THEY TURNED OUT. Tell Nat that if he wants one to let me know, and I’ll totally make him one. They crack me up.

YAY FOR MOUSTACHES!

yay for more etsy links!!! what a cute Dane - I love it when they have the grey around their muzzles - they look so distinguished.

A few things…
First off, you *make* those buttons?!  That’s so cool.  I love mine, btw.
Second--I am drooling over the new colors of knitting bags you have in your pix there.
And third--I tagged you for a meme on my blog.  :)

More Etsy sellers to add to my favourites.  Christmas shopping is going to be so easy this year.  I wont even have to leave my couch.
