Roses, Bows, & Moustaches .... OH MY!

I just listed a few new items to my Etsy. I am excited about it!!! For one I finally got some pink felt. I have had numerous convos on Etsy asking for pink flower headbands.... So I finally made some! The pink is so yummy... Like bubblegum ! FUN FUN! I also got some other wonderful colors I will be listing soon. (The turquoise is to die for! )

Pink Rose Headband$15





Then there is my ultimate favorite. Sort of gaudy a little tacky and totally wonderful! Leopard fur bows!

Leopard Bow $12




Don't they look so cute in fun messy hair? LOVE THEM!

Then of course there is the sibling of my Moustache Ornaments. Moustache pin!! "Since every Tee needs a disguise"

Moustache Pin $5

Fun stuff! I have been making some new styles of head pieces as well. I am going to try to make some pillbox hats soon. I need to go to a millinery store to get some forms. Should be exciting. I am already planning a fun winter collection. I think some more "fur" will be in the mix. What do you guys think? Love? Hate? Suggestions of some things you would like to see??

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!!!

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!

WALNUT BALLS and HEADBANDS

I love and hate Martha Stewart... but like I said before... She's my favorite convict! Her HOLIDAY magazine is full of so many wonderful handmade gifts! With that being said....My walnut balls are finally FINISHED!!!! I am in LOVE with them!!! They look so festive!!! I made these two for my Aunt and Uncle and I can't wait to finish mine!!! They have been half finished for some time now... I get side tracked REALLY EASILY!!! There are so many crafts I want to do!!! Last night I bit the bullet and wanted to finish them so I could give them to my Aunt and Uncle at Thanksgiving! I am so glad that they liked them! They were actually really really fun to make! I opted not to use real foliage... I think it was a good choice because I had to glue those puppies on!!! I think I picked out a pretty "realistic" foliage. (Foliage is such a weird word)

ME + HOT GLUE= BFF






So ... Yeah me and hot glue are best friends... In my last post I wrote about all my dreams of headbands... Well by GOLLY I made myself a whole menagerie of the damned things! And I think I might LOVE them as well... I really like the headbands that I purchased. They are skinny patent leather... SO CUTE!!! A major bonus is they don't give me a headache like most headbands do. Having a huge melon can be tough!!! I also used my wool blend felt which seriously is a dream to work with.... Why the hell didn't I discover this before? I've went 23 years of my life using cheap ass felt!!!

I went searching on the internet looking for felt flower patterns... Pretty much they all sucked or were not what I was looking for... So I made my own designs!!! I will be listing them on My ETSY once I get better pictures... I just took these super quick so I can show you guys how cute they are! I am not sure if I like the 3 rosette ones better or just the big rose one... What do you think?



ARGH!!! The picture tile maker cropped the pictures so half the headband is cut off.... SUCKIE!!! OH well you get the point! If you want a bigger picture just click the pic and it will enlarge it!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

OH BEFORE I FORGET!!! I am in a holiday house boutique !!! So if you live near Orange please come!! Its going to be fun!! All the the people that are going have super cool stuff!!! This is the flier for it!!




So I don't have to patience to list all the sellers... but if you want to check out all their awesome stuff go to Designs by Steppie!!! She has wonderfully added links to all the sellers!!! (and she is selling there too!!)
