The Most Awesome Gift (That I may Have EVER Received)

I have gotten some pretty awesome gifts in my life-time. I had one Christmas as a child/teen when i got a new computer and the things to set up a dark room. However my boyfriend amazed me tonight with what may be my favorite present of all time.

I am notorious for killing plants. I do have a cactus, which i have had for about 4 years. It is not dead, but it does grow in an odd way... I may not have killed it but I think I have scarred it for life. So as someone who is dating a plant killer and someone who doesn't have the best track record with plants himself my boyfriend presented me with this as part of my Christmas present.


It is so cute and I am so very much in love with it. He let me help him make the mushrooms and made himself one as well. I am so excited with them and how they turned out we are considering making a few to sell on Etsy. It was so nice to be creative outside of the fabric world!

Now i am off to keep working on my papers i have been making little to no headway on! Have a great night all :)

My Etsy Updates!

Ok, so here is what has happened to me in the Etsy World in the past week or so.
  • Someone put Harry in their treasury!
  • I went to a virtual lab and actually got a critique... yes i know! it is amazing! i am still amazed myself! (i pinched myself)
  • I tried to join an etsy team and they said they weren't taking anymore fiber artists...
I am super bummed about them not accepting me...i was super excited about the idea of working with other artists in the area, and doing stuff... what that stuff was i didn't know, i just knew i wanted to do it.

I had this image of various people sitting in a coffee house talking and drinking tea... maybe i could make a team with that as the crux. How does it sound to other people?

harumph! my new etsy goals are...
  • redo my photos
  • promote myself more...(I have NO IDEA how to do this...so any suggestions are welcome!)
  • make more things!
  • package up some old supplies to sell
