I’m SORTA feelin’ groovy!

In news that is not fun: my health is still causing a lot of trouble right now.  But I have fun news as well!  My supply order was made…and arrived sooner than expected!  Not only that…I made my new work area!  To do this I had to:

Move my piano.
Buy 3 bookshelves
Assemble the shelves
Buy a melamine […]

Stop with the cute!

Well, I did actually do a set of floaters and I even tried a black and white clippie…but they’re not turning out as I’d like.  I think I’m going to have to go with something a bit more unconventional.  It’s VERY hard to make a clippie look anything but ‘cute’, and floaters mostly fit in […]

Better get moving!

There really has been nothing to say, this month…until now.
I finally got my hair chopped off to a VERY short cut again (not that my hair was ever longer than just-above-the-shoulder) and it has increased my desire to make more short-hair accessories. Also, I turned 30 at the end of May this year, and […]

Since Etsy seems to be down…

For the first time in a while I felt a bit excited about something I was going to list on Etsy…and Etsy has been down for the last five hours. I can’t get it to load at ALL, let alone log on.  So I’m going to have to forgo listing today unless it comes back […]

Apple Blossom

I was intending to clean up today, particularly because it is too windy to go biking.  (It’s not a great replacement but it’s important to get SOME physical activity even on cold, windy days.)  So I took half of a half-strength (regular ones are 200mg but mine are only 100mg) caffeine pill.  (I have a […]

Unusual shapes and colours

I’m definitely coming to the realization that I simply cannot post to TFG’s blog 4 or 5 times a week, every week.  I think it’s better to post when you actually have something you want to say/share than to force yourself to think of something daily.  So I promise I’ll definitely post at least once […]

Hair appliqués

Or ‘floaters’, as I tend to call them, as it is faster.  (Especially since I have to specially paste ‘appliqués’ so that the accent is present.  I’m an Ontarian living right on the border of Québec…it grates my nerves to see a word that I know is supposed to have a French accent…accent aigu, in […]

A totally new look

This entry should speak for itself, so I’m not going to blabber too much.  I really like the new style of hairstick I’ve made, though they do present some problems, most notably the fact that they’ll have to be shipped in different (thicker) boxes, meaning it’ll put them out of the ‘light packet’ range of […]

Papered Sticks

I’ve been out of town since Friday but as I am back now, I can post.
I’ve put ‘papered’ sticks up on Etsy before but am still not sure whether they are liked or not.  I haven’t made many, but the one pair that was purchased (Hidebound) seems to be quite well liked by […]

Painted bone

So, the new paint for the bone sticks seems very successful.  In fact, it’s so strong that it likely doesn’t NEED any top coat, though I will have to let them sit in the sun for a month and get worn in and test them then to make sure…but so far I’ve run my (very […]
