Started Spring cleaning...

I still have a ways to go. I want to go bring some stuff to the Free store. I think there is one in Manhattan.

Edit:

Boo.. I just did some research and the Free Store project ended on March 22nd! I loved the idea of it!

My first Peeps of the season

My parents brought some Peeps over my place today. I actually tried to buy some for myself the other day, but my BF slapped them out of my hand (boo). I have the right to indulge in marshmallowly goodness and yellow #5 like the rest of the population!! The Peeps victory is mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quick note about the Sunday shop update:

The March update will have a small amount of items (8 or 9 or 10 if I don't sleep tonight), quality not quantity, right? I was trying to do more but some of the items that I made took me a full day to make.

Edit: I just noticed my horoscope for today,

Aquarius (1/20-2/18)

There is much more work to be done now, and you need to keep working at it today!

Ha! Perfect!

For the discerning Timmie in your life...

a one-of-a-kind horse head hat! Has your Timmie experienced the luxury of horse... on his head? Act fast! Supplies are limited. Dial 1-800-Redunkadunk..leave off the last DUNK for savings.

This has to be one of my most redunkulous Timmie accessories ever! I swear I could be happy just making miniature gear all day long. If only I was independently wealthy...weh,weh <--baby cry.

Rar!

This lion hat was based off one of the paintings I did of Timmie a while back. This hat will be part of Sunday's shop update.

Etsy Labs Craft Night

Last night I went to check out the free macrame demo at the Etsy Labs in downtown Brooklyn. Dari was teaching people how to make plant hangers out of string. Since I killed all of my plants and had no use for a hanger, I decided to make myself a wristband/headband/belt/bag handle. I haven't decided what it is yet because I have no way of figuring out how long it will be. Judging by its current length I am leaning towards a small bag handle. String is definitely one of my favorite mediums, so practical.

Next Monday at the Lab they are demonstrating glass etching. I definitely want to go to that too.

Shop Update March 22nd

The next shop update will be Sunday March 22nd at noon Eastern time. I originally wanted to do it this Sunday, but I ran out of time. [insert disappointing sound effect here]

The color scheme in this illustration was inspired by a picture of a rusty tin I saw on Flickr.
