pocket

I have been working on special edition Christmas apron made for holiday baking.  This is just a little preview–the pocket.

a little something

…just a simple quilted coaster that I made from fabric that I received from the vintage swap. Thanks Hannah!

I should have taken a picture of the fabrics that Hannah sent before I started cutting them up. I always forget to take before pictures.

Isn’t this floral print so sweet? I made a few sets of these quilted coasters for a new shop that opened in my neighborhood called Wildcard. It’s my new favorite place to buy gifts because there is so much good stuff, and a lot of it is handmade locally. Junji and I both have some of our work for sale there. I hope they have a lot of success!

two weekend stories

Saturday – We were getting ready to go to a party.  Saya told me she wanted to wear a “princess dress”, two clips in her hair, and a ponytail “on the left side, not backwards.”  She also told me she was planning to kiss her (boy)friend.  Wow.  I am thinking she is getting this out of her system now, so that when she’s a teenager she will be happy hanging out at home with her parents.  Right?

Sunday – Junji and Saya were making lunch, but they needed milk and we didn’t have any, so I had a chance to have a walk by myself to the store in the beautiful sunshine.  I don’t usually find myself alone for a walk.  I didn’t even have a bag, just a couple of dollars in my pocket.  I felt so light and happy.  While I was gone Junji and Saya were doing this.  Funny.

We are working on new children’s pottery sets.  Our last batch wasn’t quite up to our standards, so we never put them for sale.  But we have high hopes for this new batch.  They should be for sale at the end of the month–in time for Christmas!

Happy Halloween!

 

new craft project

finished product

I have another craft project up on Bloesem Kids.  This one is really simple–maybe something to enjoy with your kids over the weekend.

Also thanks Irene for featuring my flag necklaces!

good day

Today was a day free of any plans whatsoever.  It was awesome!  Can’t remember the last time I had a day like that.  This is how we spent it…

waking up early

watching cartoons

taking a walk

making cookies

napping

working on a craft project (very messy!)

taking a shower (necessary after the project)

playing at the park

going to a Halloween parade

We weren’t planning on going to the parade–it was a last minute thing–but I’m glad we went.  Saya had so much fun.

No plans for tomorrow either.  Yay!

This is my first attempt at making any kind of jewelry in a long time.  I took a jewelry metals class in college, but we didn’t get much of a chance to make wearable stuff.  I probably won’t head much further down this road for now, but I do like this necklace, and I hope you do too.  I would appreciate any feedback–really.  I love hearing your comments, so thank you!  There are a few available now in my etsy shop.

Easy enough for a 2.5 year-old to enjoy.
