I also have been making some fun little other things... I am slowly but surely getting my craft "TO DO LIST" checked off one at a time... I finally made some clothespin dolls. Don't hate on the one with super big eyes!!! Shes my first one, I used a paint pen and made one eye too big... then I was like... FUCK IT... This bitch is going to have the "stink eye"...
Isn't the tree so cute? That was another one of my "projects" I found it at Michaels on clearance for $4.00 but it was just a regular bushy tree.... Well I gave that thing a brazilian wax! I made it bare and lovely!! I love the vintage feel it gives!
I have also been thrift store shopping... I have been keeping my eye out for some cute little tea cups to make pin cushions out of and here are two I "experimented" with.
Also I made another one of my "Embroidery art" pieces. This time I made her with green eyes, a green bow, red hair, and silver stud earrings. I think I like her better with a more traditional earring.
She is available here.
Other then that I have been decorating for Christmas. My boyfriend went home to Maryland for Thanksgiving, so I decorated his apartment while he was gone. The tree is so not at its prime A) because I don't have any of my handmade ornaments on there because I was going to be selling them at a craft show and B) My mom gave me all these "handmade" ornaments some crazy "aunt" of hers dropped off at our house last year... If you blow the picture up you will see there is an ornament of a "snowman" and his hat is made out of the top of a tube sock... (OH HOW CLEVER). I should be caned in the crafting world for allowing such ugly ornaments on that tree... but you know what... I love them because they are SO TACKY!!! Also see the snowman chillin' at the bottom of the tree... Ugly Ornaments need love too sort of like the Island of Misfit Toys!!! I also used dingle berry garland. I think that was a wonderful idea on my part. Partially because I bought a HUGE spool of the shit for $6.00 (thats a wonderful deal I think there is 50 yards) at a thrift store and my mom told me I would never use it... Well here you go Momma O... 2 yards down... 48 yards to go!
So yeah to say the least I have been keepin' busy!!! Its really rewarding to know that people actually like my stuff!!! Keep your eyes open for my headbands in some new colors..... (lets hope I take photos of them tomorrow!)

I thought I was going to get to see you at the craft fair, but my grandmother-in-law went to hospital with chest pains (all is ok), so I didn't get to go. How was it?

I just love everything you do! I'm glad I'm adopting you. LOL!

Oh my goodness! I LOVE your headbands.
Hello. Cute stuff! I love the headbands, and whittling down that tree was such a great idea!
Hey, wanted to say thanks for commenting on my blog, so cool to have new peeps show up and read my blathering.
You are too funny. Love the stink eye comment. Maybe she doesn't have the stink eye, maybe that's just how she looks. I am so in love with those headbands you make. Now, my daughter is 4.5 with a pretty large head, sometimes we can wear the same headband. Are the ones you use pretty large or I guess I'm wondering to they go pretty far below the ears? Am I making sense? I'd like to order one for her for christmas if you think it would fit ok. Nothing has to be perfect.
:)
