Easter Dress

I quit making Easter dresses for a while since the last few didn't quite turn out as I wanted them to, but I decided to give it another shot!  (Okay, technically it's an Easter two-piece.)  And I like this, even if it did take alllllll afternoon!  Made from a semi-shimmery linen with white vintage buttons.  

Finally...

...listing some things I've had around for a WHILE now!  For one reason or another, I never got around to it.  Check them out at the shop!

Ramen

Why not?

Priorities

When a small handmade clutch slid behind a chest--from off of a huge heap of other handmade items--and I realized I'd have to move literally half of the things in the room just to move the chest, I decided it was time to do some major organizing.  So, I did not make anything today.  I did do a lot of rearranging.  But it still doesn't look like I did a lot of rearranging.  (Yes, it's that bad.)  But, I found some treasures!  And, I found something pretty groovy to share on the blog.

This

 lovely bohemian/faery/ice-queen vest was started years and years ago, in a time when it would seem that I had a little more ambition, especially

 considering I had no idea what I was doing.  It was actually completed at one point, but then I decided the bottom hem was all wrong.  It has been

 sitting here with a raw hem.  But now that I've found it, I can complete it!  Yay for finding things!

(And pardon the wrinkles, I knew I had to shoot it right away or it might not get done!)

Little Things

I feel like I'm constantly in motion but don't really get anything accomplished.  So what do I do but promise myself I'm going to take the time to blog at least every other day!

I've decided I need to knit myself a stole.  Something very simple to knit, but interesting.  In a chunky yarn, but lacy so that it won't be stifling on a chilly summer evening.  And not the usual blah brown I go for, but something with a little bit of spice--not TOO much, of course. 

So I've settled for an easy lace pattern in the Vogue Knitting Stitchionary; pattern #109, called--get this--"lace pattern."  Because there are only 50 other lace patterns in the book...hehe.

And this morning, I decided to play with some polymer clay and make lil' tags to include in my orders. 

Ba Da Ba Ba BAAAA!!!!

Yeah...I hate the McDonald's theme song, but that's part of the reason I like to sing it.  Okay--the only reason.  BUT, I am LOVING this wrislet created by my awesome friend, Mandi of redplanet.etsy.com!  Not only is it colorful, adorable, and has an awesome name, but it's sooooo functional!  I love it when something actually works while it looks good....
