A Smidge of Randomness...

As I get through yet another month feeling schizophrenic, I thought I'd share some of the things that have occupied bits of my time.

Lots and lots of ornaments. Surprisingly, I'm not sick of making them. I actually really enjoy it.



A very fun pair of owls I got to make as a custom order. They turned out so cute in person, if only my pictures were better... (in my defense, Blogger has been loading my photos in very dull and hazy)


This dress. Oh, this dress. It's funny the way you may hear a tidbit about a designer or artist, and then all of a sudden it blows up around the blogs and it's all you hear about. I kind of feel this way about Dear Creatures. I found this dress a while back, and now I can't stop hearing about this clothing line and it's designer... which I absolutely am not complaining about. I LOVE this dress, and am the proud new owner. It's even more beautiful in person. The fabric, the styling, everything about it. So, my day is made. Now I'm going to get dressed.

Party Penguins

I'm ready to share my penguin couple. They are both dressed up for the holidays, the boy with his bow tie and wool belly, and the girl with her matching bow and shimmery tulle belly.

A Lovely Sunday

Yesterday we had the opportunity to have an evening at home. We decided to do family-ish stuff, and put up the Christmas tree. Some people scoff at the idea of having it up so early, but Thanksgiving is right around the corner. And besides, two or three years ago, Johnny had to lay down the law about absolutely not putting up the tree before Halloween. So, if you consider that, I'm doing pretty well this year. I tend to get a tad (overly) excited about festive things like holidays and parties. It's been so crazy busy this year, that this was the first "free" weekend at home to even consider something like that. Anyway, my tree is gorgeous... it's so much brighter than my old one. Like I said in previous posts, I've never had a white(ish) tree before-- this one is "champagne"-- but it's lovely.


That's really all I have for now. It seems I eat, drink, and breathe sewing right now. Sorry if all my talk of Skunkboy craziness is getting old, it's just my first Christmas season, and it's really starting to pick up. So, I'll try to keep it to a minimum, but do forgive me if it slips out more than once.

Oh, also, I should have some new friends in the shop sometime this week, plus photos of a custom order I've had up in the air way too long. I'll leave you with this:



Blitzen Trapper. I've been obsessed lately. This has nothing to do with their name + Christmas love. They just play great music.

New Ornaments!

I have two new ornaments in the shop! They are both very dear to my heart... maybe it's because I'm starting to get that Christmas bug...


I also have a penguin couple that I will be ready to share in a day or two. They are dressed for Christmas party fun.
