We're not dead

No really, we're not. Now i know it's been, oh let's see... WAY TO FRIGGEN LONG since we've posted but well, life got the better of us. Not a good excuse or explanation but there it is. But this month was the month for us. No more major holidays, no more family medical issues, no more two job a piece. No kidding, Theresa and I each had two, yes, two jobs a piece. Granted Theresa had the far greater weight in that, one of mine was only seasonal, but still... But February came and the clouds parted (literally, it's been bright and sunny lately) and 2 jobs became 1 a piece and the creative bug came out of hibernation.

Last night dave, theresa and i made a little doormouse production line and started posting stuff to the shop. Dave was taking pictures, Theresa was editing the pictures and i was writing descriptions and titles and posting items up in the shop.


I can not tell you how good it feels. It's so fun and fulfilling. I feel motivated and accomplished and full of energy.

So keep checking the shop and here. We'll keep posting and letting you know what is new in the shop as it goes up.


Today there are plenty of various flower pins and a few gnome hair pins with more new things to come this weekend.

Minions...

so it's the week of our first craft bazaar and we are uber disorganized and not finished. :) But it's so fun! Theresa, me, my husband dave and our friend linda have all been hard at work making pendants, fabric flower pins, pin cushions of shapes and sizes, drinking way too much coffee and laughing at i don't even know what. :) We've taken to calling dave and linda our crafty minions, we called them something else to begin with but we thought minions was more age appropriate. :)

Last night we all sat around a table cutting and gluing and sewing and giggling at all the random outbursts.

Aaaaa! It's dripping it's dripping! as dave spills lemonade on the small table and we all scramble to pick up fabric before it becomes wet and lemon scented.

Linda almost pulled an edward scissor hands and scratched her forehead with the very sharp sewing shears.

And while saving crafts from lemon death theresa almost becomes edward scissor hands number two forgetting she has sharp objects in her hands as well.

Earlier, me running from the living room, yelling THE PENDANTS!!! thinking i put in a batch of pendants into the oven 15 min before (they only take 7 min to bake), when really they were still sitting on the top of the oven waiting to go in.

We've decided that for weeks after the bazaar is over with i'm going to wake in the middle of the night yelling "Dripping!! DRIPPING!! The pendants! Oh Crap the pendants!"

I wish i had action shots to share but the batteries in the camera are dead and we haven't any more in the house. i managed to get a few this morning of the aftermath with the last bit of juice in the camera.

please notice the half drank lemonade still sitting dangerously close to our fabric scraps

little mushroom-y pincushions waiting for finishing touches

I'll take lots of pictures of the bazaar and all the creations. Whatever is left after the bazaar, probably a decent amount, we'll be putting up in our shop. See you at the bazaar on sunday!
