Etsy and My Birthday Presents!!!

Today I spent my day taking pictures of all my stuff I plan on adding to etsy. I have about 20 onesies that I have yet to list and a bunch of other things I have been making.... Taking photos I feel is the worst part of the process... For some reason today I got super inspired and I even busted out a few props! Last night I bought a regular 18inch aluminum tree and gave it a hair cut!! Made it bare and vintagey looking! I love it.... So I decided it needed some camera time!

So I've been making headbands like a mad woman!! The more I make the more I love them! At first I was going to selfishly keep them for myself...( because I am a bitch like that) But I really got carried away and made more then I can deal with... So I was ever so gracious and listed them on My Etsy!!!

Red Felt Rosette Headband



White Felt Rosette Headband



Mint Green Rose Headband



Red Felt Rose Headband
(this ones my fav)




I want to have a special thanks to " DOLLY PARTON" My dollhead for modeling the headbands for me.... If you went or are in beauty school.... You will be all too familiar with these things....

Other then that... I have received so many wonderful birthday gifts and it isn't even my birthday till MONDAY!!! My cousin gave me some Ed Hardy flip flops. He is in 4th grade and he picked them out himself. He said " I know you love asain stuff so I knew you would love these!!" Seriously I love that kid! My last christmas he picked out this gold necklace with a flower pendant and he said " I picked it out because I know you love "old stuff"" (hahaha I gotta teach that kid & Juan the word VINTAGE)



I also got my Japanese craft book I've been SEARCHING FOR in the mail today and a Q-Snap!!! (Thanks ShhhWAN)



The cream of the crop present is my new BROTHER!!! NO NOT THAT SORT OF BROTHER!!! A Brother Sewing Machine!!! ugh... I don't know what I did without that thing!! It purrs like a kitty cat!!! It has an automatic threader, drop in bobbin ( heaven sent I hate doing the bobbin) and NEEDLEDOWN!! freaking awesome! Also a bunch of decorative stitches.... So no more sewing with the lawn mower.... I mean my old sewing machine.... Seriously I deserve a damn reward for sewing with that thing...



SO yeah... I am still waiting on my scalloped scissors... and other then that the rest is a surprise!
