Shop update today!

Later today I will be updating my shop with 10 Timmies and approximately 6 Timmie hats and 6 masks. Hopefully I will have all the photos edited and up on Etsy by 4pm Eastern time.

Coming soon to the shop!

Creepy ski masks for Timmie! I wanted to make something weird & creeptastic for the Timmies to wear for Halloween this year. I will be updating my shop this upcoming Tuesday the 26th with about 10 Timmies.

Currently I am having an additional 15% off sale for this week to try to make some space for the new items. You can check it out HERE.

balmoral boots finished (finally!)

I finally finished the Balmoral style boots that I started in April! While awaiting feedback for the project I'm currently working on, I decided to try to finish up these boots. This is my first attempt at cutting, dyeing, and attaching the leather sole and heel myself. If I wasn't worried about getting brain and nerve damage from the toxic glue it would have been a tad more fun. I might leave the soling up to the pros the next time around. Maybe. Or set up a shoemaking station outside of my apartment :). I still need to make the insole lining (polka dot lining temporarily borrowed from my other shoe) and find some navy blue shoelaces. Yay!

j'adore order

too bad order around here only lasts half a day. Sal needs to purchase stock in the t-shirt shop Threadless.

bottle candle holders

I finally found a use for the glass bottles I've been saving. I brought back the small one from Italy about 2 years ago and just brought back the jumbo coca-cola bottle from Venezuela recently.

In the bottom photo you can see Sal enjoying his peasant-size portion of defrosted Trader Joe's vegetable fried rice. Yumz ;)

I'm ready!

I am ready for Halloween folks. I am going to go as a woman who cares about her dental cleanliness!

I found the black tooth powder right away in Manhattan this past Friday and purchased it. The clerk kindly informed me (good customer service in New York, what a concept!) how to use it:

1. dip your wet finger into the powder and rub it onto your teeth and gums for about two minutes or so
2. brush powder around with a toothbrush and rinse

The powder was very finely ground with a hint of menthol flavor. No horrible burning minty sensation (or gum bleeding) after brushing. Hooray! I look forward to seeing what happens to my teefers and gums with continued use.

P.S. Also functions as a great way to frighten your spouses/children/roommates/pets while getting dental cleanliness! Win/Win.
