i'm like a crafting machine!

last night i stayed up until 5am beading. i made three bracelets, a necklace, and a pair of earrings. it took so long because i kept changing my mind and taking things apart. i feel like it's my job as an artist to only sell things that i think are great. not just ok. so if i dont love it, i start over.
one of the things i made last night was this mood bracelet. the beads change color like a mood ring. and i used faux suede cord (i prefer to be animal friendly when i can) and a silver feather charm. I'm going to keep this one for my self, but i intend to make more for the shop.
this morning i made these little flowers out of scraps of fabric. this is my first attempt at this, and i cant wait to make more! i also made a little headband out of the white muslin.
again, this one is mine, but i plan on listing some of these soon. as soon as the sun comes out again so i can take some good photos.

my cat and i goofed off in front of the tripod a little before i made a craft run to the Hob Lob.

my new gray dress came from melissa of oh my darling for the color me happy project. to see what i got her, click here!

to let you in on a little secret, there's gunna be a whole lot of giveaways coming up! as well as one here on my own blog, a few others will be giving away my items also. a necklace, a lavender eye mask, and a shop credit will be given out on others' blogs. mine will remain a mystery for now. ;) i'll keep you posted!
