Foxwoods!


Take a chance, make it happen, pop a cork, fingers snappin, spin the wheel, round and round she goesssssss!

Life ie short, life is sweet, grab yourself a front row seat, let's meet and have a ball!

YEAH lets live (let's live) for the wonderrrrrr, of it all.

*foxwoods*

that's right, i memorized that entire song from a million years ago. those were some catchy tv commercials!

IN CONCLUSION, I'll be gracing foxwoods Wednesday with my presence. Mama needs a new pair of shoes! (not really, i just bought a fab pair of metallic purple flats for $10.00 from Forever 21!) (and a new shirt to wear to the casino.)

I'll keep you posted of my winnings.

Snow tracks


I was walking around the house today and saw so many animal prints in the snow! zipping around, stopping at trees. Can you recognize any?


Ah yes, the exotic Ugg.

Necessary? Or absolutely unecessary?

My big bro pointed me in the direction of this fabulous website: http://shop.hardgraft.com/

Cool idea but a little creepy, no?
I'd maybe get this if I didn't have an "otter box" case that makes my phone look so unlike an i-phone that I am constantly asked, what kind of [gigantic, un-sleek] phone is that?

Thanks dad.

If I carried around a Moleskine and/or was an architect, I'd spring for this.

And now this little sniffle monster is going to go to sleep, nestled next to a purple oval Kleenex box that has white flocked children ice skating. it's more magical than it sounds.


Good


I just got this Kiehl's lip gloss when I was in San Fran, and not only is it a pretty pink that isn't very sticky , but it makes you a GREAT whistler. At least it made me sound great.

That's all I've got for now.

Also...

Set your eyes on this little love bug of a ring! I cut out the letters with a wee little saw, so it has a quirky font. Because...love is quirky? Yeah!

Love is in the air..

It's almost Valentines Day! You know what that means. Time to make loads of lovey-dovey jewelry.

One pendant I made out of brass, and a brown glass taxidermy eye!

Eyeball Heart U

Funny? A little? I yelped when I thought of it.

sorry, but

i'm a content thief sometimes, and once I saw this lovely sign featured on Poppytalk Blog, I couldn't get it out of my head! I'm dying to make something like it. And now that I've discovered Martha Stewart sells flocking powder in every color imaginable, maybe I'll make something like it. but fuzzier.

Sneaking.


So, I decided in order to get rich and famous, I have to get into a magazine. And to get into a magazine, I need to have a look book. And to have a look book, I had to go wander the aisles of Michaels for supplies.

I found:

3 sheets of mustard yellow scrapbook paper
1 bottle of Martha Stewart Turquoise Flocking (I had no idea they had that!!)
1 roll of double sided alphabet stickets
1 pack of glittery turquoise photo corners to hold pictures on the pages

Aaaand so far I have a cover!

How do we like? Any nifty suggestions to binding the book? I'm thinking of two binder ring things on the top corners so that it's like a flip book...decisions.

Purple Cuff Flower Shoot

"Ooh, yeah, give me crazy, give me sexy, make me want to want you."

This is what I say to my jewelry when I take photos of them*. On my window sill. The only place in the house where the light is good. That isn't outside in the blizzard.


*Not true. But would be funny if were true.


Lovely Ms. Lilac Hammeredfeather sits prettily on top of a pink flower. Her favorite things are bunnies in the snow and clementines.

new bits!

I finally got around to taking some photos of new jewels to put on my shop:


Mmmm, iron pyrite (fools gold) chunk-o-rific ring!

This stunner is made from a handpainted glass mannequin eye! spooooky.

More to come soon!

Happy New Year!!

This is one of possibly two flattering pictures taken of me all night on New Years Eve. We were downstairs in this super neat cave bar at Southpaw in Brooklyn during the Felice Brothers Show. Definitely the best concert experience of my life: it wasn't too long, I could sit down when I got tired, and the drinks were cheap! (ish).




And now it's back to the daily grind. It's a pretty great grind though. I have to catch up on orders I got when on vaca, including a delightful little weenie doggy that is almost finished.

That's all I got!

At long last, i made it to uniqlo today!

Ended up getting a mens flannel shirt in x small,Their guys section way surpasses the gals.
