things that are making me happy, currently

A double shot in a can. Not that I need it, but it does help me get through the afternoon in a better mood.


New fabric! Some from online, some from the Memorial day sale at Joann. Remind me to never do that again; a fight broke out in the pattern section between two little old ladies who wanted the last of one thing. It was crazy. It's not the greatest pic, but the red/blue fabric on the far left (the large pile of fabric) is going to be for a skirt! (I still need to take a photo of the one I made last week.)


The Sublime Stitching journal that was a recent gift. Hand embroidered front and nice handmade paper pages...

It's now my list journal. I used to write, all the time. I've fallen out of habit and I decided to try it again, in list form. I filled a mason jar of labels with different list prompts and I pick one a day. Shake it up, pick one, stick it to a page and go. It's my proof that not all crafting and writing endeavors have to be glamorous.


And finally, Bob. Behold the cuteness that is my new black and white kitten, Bob. I'm not sure if he's a boy or a girl yet, but Bob works for me as a universal name. He's the cutest thing and survived his first night with a dog and two cats just fine!

Just a mish-mosh of things

I just made that word up, mish-mosh. Either I made it up or I've heard it before and dredged it up from my depths of my mind. Either way, I think it's a cute word and vow to be using it more often.

Answers to the questions I've gotten recently:

1. Yes. That's my real hair color. (I'm kidding. I didn't get that as a question.)

2. Where do I get my felt flowers? I had a supply of the American Crafts Greenhouse felt flowers, but ran out of those. Now, after an exhaustive internet search recently, I buy all my felt flowers on Etsy from these stores:

Basketgirl68
Crafty Craze
Kutz (which in my opinion makes the most delightful felt cuts in the world...only downfall is they are in Italy and sometimes shipping takes forever.)

3. Where do I like to buy fabric online? I have a couple of favorite Etsy shops:

Mountain of the Dragon
Latelier

And I also really like:

JCaroline
Pink Chalk Fabric (quickest flipping shipping EVER)

4. Do I swap things? Yes! I gladly do swaps privately should you ever be inclined to want something I've made. I also swap on Swap-Bot.

5. Do I have an Etsy shop? I do. You can find it here.

5a. You can also find my wares in the November Sampler and at Needles + Pens in SF.

6. My favorite craft item? Seriously. Has. To. Be. RIC RAC. I can't get enough of it.

And since we're not project-less here, the doll quilt I made for a recent swap:
