Plum and Teal Treasury

It has been a while since I last made a treasury and I have been dying to make one on Etsy's new Treasury East!  I just love these colors and I think they look so pretty together!

Sneak Peek - New Stuff!

I've been really busy these past few days working on new items for my Etsy store!

I have new iPod nano cases and a brand new padded cosmetic bag!  I'll be taking pictures of them and adding them into my Etsy store this week so check in often to see them all!  I'm also going to extend the free shipping promotion throughout the month of May. : )

I really love this new padded bag!  I had a custom order last week for a larger version with extra padding for a Garmin Nuvi.  http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=28472599.  I think it would make a great camera bag as well.  Let me know if you are interested, I can make it in any size! : )

Pinecrest Gardens revisited!

I went back to Pinecrest Gardens with my family this weekend and remembered to take my camera! No cellphone pictures this time! It was a gorgeous day outside...perfect picture weather! :)

This was the first picture I took...I accidentally left my studio setting on the camera but the picture still turned out pretty neat!

Here are some of the other pictures I took...Enjoy! :)

Zoom in on the tree...the branches are incredible!

Goodbye sweet Booger Monkey :(

This morning my  sister's beloved Booger Monkey passed away. :(

Booger was the sweetest, most adorable and stinkiest little ferret.  I love you Boogie!  Rest in peace sweet boy!


I took this video of Booger playing with Sushi last July when I was baby sitting him. I will miss my chunky little nephew.

Office Chair Project

I was finally able to reupholster my boring desk chair!  I am so bad at remembering to take before pictures...I just get so excited to start on projects! 
This is the best picture I could find of the chair before I covered it. :)

I thought taking the chair apart and re covering it would be difficult but it was really easy and fun.  This is what it looks like now. :)

I really like the fun and bold pattern of this fabric.  Before the fabric arrived, I printed an image of  the pattern and used it to make the stencil for the shelf I made next to my desk. I think it turned out well! :)

Birthday Boy

On April 28, 2009 this sweet little kitten stole my heart.

This is how he decided to pose for his birthday picture.  What a little turkey! :)

I don't know what I'd do with out him. :)  Happy Birthday Sushi!
