Etsy Update: Plush Pins

Super Exciting Yay Time!

Soooooo, back in the Blog-A-Palooza giveaway a while back I won a prize from Creating Myself, and it came in the mail today!!!

YAY!!!

I won a beautiful print and four faux polaroid frames! As soon as I can find a frame to put the print in it's going up on my wall! And I'm trying to think of an awesome way to use the polas. Any ideas?

Here's what I suggest you do now: Go to her shop and ogle. Trust me, her stuff's definitely ogle-worthy.

Vintage Black Suede Skirt Up For Grabs

Hey guys! I have this gorgeous black suede skirt that I'm trying to give away. A friend gave it to me and since even if it was in perfect condition it wouldn't fit me, I figured I'd see if anyone else wanted it. There are only two imperfections. The first is that the stitching in the back slit is coming undone slightly. This would be easy peasy to fix!

The other (larger) problem is that the zipper is broken. The zipper pull is only attached to one side of the zipper. I'm not sure if there's a way to fix this or if you'd have to put in a whole new zipper. Honestly, once I realized that even if I did fix it it'd be way too small for me, I kind of stopped trying.

Anyway, if anyone at all wants this skirt, you can have it! Just email me and I'll grab your address and send it to you. If you don't live in the U. S. I'll probably ask you to help pay for postage, but if I just have to mail within the U. S. I'll cover postage. This skirt is so beautiful I just want it to go to a good home!

Oh, and one more thing! It's marked as a size six, but to me it seems smaller than that. The waist is 26 inches and the hips are 35. And it's 18 and a half inches long.

Photo Shoot with my Sis!

I've been sewing up a bunch of cute little monster pins to go in my shop either tomorrow or the next day. I have four that I made to sell, and then a special one I made just for my lil sis! It's really the best of both worlds, as it merges my sense of adorableness with her punk sensibilities.

Her pin now has a permanent home on her guitar strap, so we had a bit of a rockin' photo shoot to commemorate the occasion.

Plus: She's making a Tre Cool doll. Check out the sweet facial embroidery resemblance!

Tee Gee Aye Eff

It has been a busybusy week! I finished up the classroom part of my Driver's Ed class today, so now all I have to do is an in-car session on Monday! And then practice practice practice until my test! I parallel parked for the first time today. It wasn't as bad as I was expecting, honestly.

My boy just left - he came over after dinner and we watched Grosse Pointe Blank. I really enjoyed it. And bonus: I do love John Cusack. So John Cusack as a hitman = awesome!

I've also been playing with an idea for the plushmakings... I'll post pictures later. I plan on buckling down this weekend (or at least tomorrow) and being a Crafty Lady.

But yeah. Now that I no longer have to go to class almost 4 hours a day (three hours and fifteen minutes of class, then add more time for driving there and back) I hardly know what to do with myself. Maybe I'll start playing the Sims 3 again. I'm not sure I want to go down that path again, however - playing the Sims until the wee hours in the morning. Once, I actually cried because I forgot to plug in my computer and the battery died and I lost hours (days in Sim world) of playing time.

So now, to end this erratic and mostly meaningless post, I leave you with an image of the lovely Joan Cusack, in her Sgt. Pepper jacket. It always tickles me to see the two Cusacks acting together. Particularly when they're arguing: I imagine sibling bickering.

Prone to Wander Giveaway

You guys should sooooo totally go check out this giveaway at Prone to Wander. It's a collection of items from her favorite etsy shops and (drumroll please) I'm one of them! Remember these two cryptic pictures I posted the other day? Well, you can win one Mr. Johnny Jackrabbit (or 9 other wonderful prizes) in this giveaway. Now, is that awesome or what?

Teux Deux

I'm trying out this new website called TeuxDeux. It's (as the name suggests) a place to keep your to-do lists, and so far I love it! I even set it as my internet homepage so whenever I open up the internet I can see my tasks.

I read about it on Creating Myself.

And yep, that's my to-do list for today and tomorrow. My secret for really awesome to-do lists is to put stuff on that you'd already normally be doing or are really easy. That way you get that awesome feeling of crossing off items more often!
