Fall Leaves

During my lunch break at work I was just surfing the web when I came across this sweater. When I see certain things, an array of ideas flood my mind. In this case, a lovely sweater:

I love it and its two tone buttons. When I saw this sweater I pictured wearing it while walking down a long path lined with autumn trees, crisp cool air, and the sound of birds. And of course to go along with this sweater would be something like this:

Framing My Heart

   I have been at my part-time-office-desk job for coming about a year now AND I have yet to decorate/personalize it. I'm not sure why it has taken me so long but I've just began to. Starting with...

   Awww isn't it cute?! It is a picture frame made out of acrylic (which feels quite durable). It's 4 x 4" is actually two pieces joined together magnetically (those two round things at the top and bottom of the heart) and all you do is pull them apart for easy picture insertion/removal. It's 3/4" thick (both pieces combined). They are at IKEA called FINLIR and are sold for $4.99 each (according to their website). Prices are subject to change from store to store though, which also isn't reflected in the IKEA website. A bit inconvenient, but all the more reason to go to IKEA. I don't know about you, but I love going there and looking at everything. And touching things. And sitting on their display couches. And generally testing all the things I like.

   I put four pictures of my pets inside. If you get these, I suggest making your pictures 2"W x 2.5"H. That is the biggest I was able to make my pictures while still fitting completely in the frame. The frame itself does lay sideways, as shown in the picture, unless if you want an upside-down heart, so I had to choose vertical pictures and make pictures vertical by cropping.

   I put my 2 frames in front of my computer monitor so that my dog and kitten stare at me all day when I'm working on my computer and I can see them all the time when I want to :o) I love it. It's the next best thing to bringing your pet to work! (My dogs are too crazy for that).

Hmmm...how else to decorate...

Mmmm the smell of nostalgia

I'm at work flipping through a stack of papers and they just so happen to fan out the smell of elementary school cafeteria carton milk. I miss cafeteria food. Cold cut corn. Rectangle pizza. Ice cream sandwiches and drumsticks.

I feel weird

My next (last) class is in fifteen minutes. I've been sitting here waiting for about 25 minutes. It's quite weird sitting in a dark class room alone. I don't want to go to the podium to try and mess with the buttons to figure out how to turn the lights on. So I'll continue sitting. Waiting. Hoping people will start filling the classroom within fifteen minutes. I sure hope class wasn't canceled today.

"it's time to repaint myself" (Ingrid Michaelson)

So things have been going slow. And by things I mean everything. Sales, making new stuff, effort, motivation - I blame college. So, "it's time to repaint myself" (Ingrid Michaelson). I am in the midst of making new things i.e. little bags/clutches (make up bag style - although you can use it for whatever you like). The bags will have awesome colored zippers and on natural neutral fabric - by natural I mean it has those little fibers and what nots in the fabric - and a small handle and some kind of custom design on it. AND (yes, there's more) I am rejuvenating my shipping packages. I just ordered some boxes and will be screen printing my logos on every side of them (hopefully I won't be burning myself with the iron again). The designs have been drawn up and I just need to receive the boxes and screen print them. That's it. And maybe a YouTube review (by someone else). We'll see how long it takes to get everything together so maybe review.

I have also been mentally planning on enhancing my etsy alchemy (custom items). I'll be posting somewhere somehow the options one may choose for a custom headband. Specifically, I'll be showing all the fabric colors, all the kinds of ribbons to choose from, and the different ways the bow can be folded [single bow, double bow, triple, gossip girl style (triple with v-cut tail ends)].

Picture previews of baggies and boxes coming soon!
