So I’ve been crazy busy lately with so many ideas in my head. I have actually made some of them. This is it thus far:

Polymer clay pendants, not baked or painted yet…I was going for an urchine/ocean theme, and then the lil owl of course because I don’t have anything owl to wear and I love them!

My very first shirt ever!!!! And I didn’t even have a pattern to go by. I’m so proud.

I love the messiness of the circles. I was going for an anthropologie look.

It took me forever to get the bottom even. I think it turned out great for my very first one.

I can’t remember what shops I got all of them from so if they are yours let me know and I will put your shop link under it. Thanks!

I’ve been wanting to make some purses but I don’t have my sewing machine here. So I was desperate. I decided to use duct tape and staples. I’ve heard of other people using this but wasn’t sure if it was going to work. Surprisingly, it’s very sturdy and looks great! I’m so proud…

I have some old paintings that I’m suppose to go get from my parents house so I can put them on my Etsy shop but they are 6 hours away. :/ Was going to go this weekend but then my SUV started acting up, so of course I have to pay out the ass to get that fixed before I can go..and then there’s the dreaded gas prices. UUUGGHHH! I was starting to think that they weren’t even worth it..but then..I remembered I need my sewing machine because I want to start making my own clothes, aprons, hairbands, bags, etc etc. I have so many ideas!! I’m really excited about that part! So I have to go get them. I wish my parents would just mail the damn thing to me. It probably would cost less in postage than it would for the gas. But I have fabric I need to…I have too much stuff, I swear. These are the paintings I have go get:

Retro

Retro Diptic

3 Palms

Dreary Day

Root Beer?

Geo

Voileta

Vodka Vacation

Crazy Bird

Musical

Sail Away

Asian Vase

Red Barn

Colorful Diet 2

I think there are some more but I can’t remember all of them. Too many…

Oh and all of these are for sale. I will be putting them on my Etsy shop as soon as I get them. If you are interested in purchasing contact me. I’ll probably cut you a deal cus I’m just that sweet.
