restocking the shelves

in between the other bits of my life, i have been painting and playing...
and there are a few new items in my etsy shop!

shopping around and something cool found

i love this water bottle carrier by lireca.
tres cool...

addicting...

these little brooches have become somewhat addicting! i keep having little inspirations of designs and i just have to try them out.

these two will be headed for my etsy shop. picture one of these on a sweater, scarf, hat...

bunch o brooches

finished four brooches and put them in my etsy shop. i think they'd make darling gifts, and they look so great on a sweater!

autumn puzzle

the trees had spread their jigsaw puzzle of gold and brown and crimson on the lawn

pins and needles

a while back i saw such a cute idea on one of the blogs i follow. melissa in new zealand makes the most darling things! her embroidered brooches just delighted me... so of course, had to make one. you can see her tutorial at tiny happy.
please, tell me what you think of my version.
i think i'll make several more to put in my etsy shop... watch for them next week!

the black "bundle" is my embroidery thingy, just a piece of felt with a ribbon sewn on. for any particular project, put your palette of floss on the felt, a few needles, and it's easy to wrap up everything, including all the single or double strands of floss and keep it all together. very handy indeed...

owl attack

yes, more owls...

(some kind of obsession at the moment)

i've put these in my etsy shop as well...

owl be back

finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i've been squeezing bits of time from my days

and have something to show for it!

i'm just all gaga over owls right now, can you tell?

i've put them in my etsy shop...
