woot







This is finals week here at LCU. Scary time to be alive in my life, and yet I am relatively calm and chilled out! Why you might ask??? BEcause I am a music major and have already finished the difficult part. We have this thing called jurys, you sing 2 songs infront of all of your music proffessors. Then they choose another song from your reportoir. This is probably the scariest thing I have ever had to do in my life. But that is ok. I will get throught it!!






In other news I have new coasters. These have bows, my friend courtney (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6215188) had the idea. I think they fit kind of perfectly.


So I finally have my first item up in my etsy shop. It is a set of 4 coasters. im really really excited about it!! I may finally have this going!!! so please wish me luck!!!
Have a blessed day everyone.

new ideas

good afternoon, I am sitting waiting fo rmusic theory to be over with and I thought I would go and talk to you beautiful people.

I have still been working on my coasters. Courtney has been helping me with some new decorations for them. One is precious it has a little bow in the middle. Another has a flower design embroideried in it.
Im thining about making a 1920s hat inspired by the musical Thoughrouly modern Millie (which I will be trying out for tommorow). If anyone has any ideas or suggestions of things to make please let me know!!

first post

Good evening lovely people. This is my first attempt at a crafting blog, I have been crafting most of my life but if you have any advice it would be much appreciated!

I started crafting when I was 8 and at summer camp. I made my first beaded lizard and friendship bracelet. It was a great summer. From there my mother taught me to sew, embroider, knit and crochet. Right now I specialize in handmade, crocheted items.

The project I am working on right now was inspired by my friend Stephanie, and improved upon by my friend courtney ( thedappleapple.etsy.com )

this is a coaster set for Stephanie. I will soon have them up on etsy in all different colors. Im thinking a set of 4 for $12 and 6 for $15 plus shipping.
