The Fall

I received The Fall through netflix and watched it this past weekend. This movie is amazing! Definitely made my top ten. I just love the little girl in this film, Alexandria…great actor. Here’s the trailer:

If you were intrigued by the clip… you should watch the movie. I’m just saying.

kitty cat

I am definately a cat person. In honor of my cat Bailey, who is currently napping, here are some lovely cat related items I found on Etsy.

While I was writing this post I ended up buying one of those kitties. I just couldn’t pass it up. I bought this lovely gold kitty by joojoo:

it’s always tea-time!

Okay… so I tend to brag when I make it to the front page. But it’s exciting news to me and it doesn’t happen often.

I made it today on Etsy’s front page:

I missed it again, but lucky for craftcult.com.

It was my IT’S ALWAYS TEA-TIME bracelet:

Thanks to Monkey Tree Creations for making this awesome tea treasury!

Hello Crafty!

I was lucky enough to have my crafty bracelet featured on the front page of etsy on March 17. It’s always exciting to find out when you’ve made front page. Another etsy member convo’d me…. otherwise I would have never seen it. However, when I went to take a screenshot of it, my cat Bailey jumped up and shocked my computer. The shock froze my computer, and by the time I turned it back on and loaded everything it was gone from the front page. I’m very glad that craftcult.com is now able to see if your shop has been featured that day. So here’s my screenshot from craftcult:

The bracelet:

And my shocking cat Bailey:

Everything just looks cool in black and white.

The other day I bought this great vendors apron:


It inspired me to do this whole black and white post. The apron is by yoopers. I was looking for a cool vendors apron and this seemed to fit the profile. Not only do I like the damask look, this apron is also has “the works”–meaning it has 3 deep pockets one of which has a hidden zipper which would be great for money or whatever, it has a skinny pen pocket, a business card pocket, and even a place to hang your keys. Very functional as a vendors apron! I can’t wait to get it in the mail.

Soap!

I started making my own soap last year using the cold process method. This is the newest soap I’ve made. It’s an olive oil soap with lavender and peppermint essential oils… two of my favorite scents! Once you use handmade soap… you only want to use handmade soap. It is a lot cheaper making your own handmade soap, then buying it. Since I love to make things, I took a shot at making soap. I enjoyed it, and I’m going to continue making soap for me and my husband.

Oh Silly Flight of the Conchords…

how you make me laugh. I’ve been wanting watch all of the episodes again, so I put it on Netflix and it’s been on long wait since December. Finally getting a disc tomorrow. They are touring this spring. Me and the husband wanted to go see them… but I don’t think we will be able to. I’ve had this song stuck in my head (haha I don’t know why).
