Supply order 2008

I only make orders from my main supplier once or twice a year, because shipping is VERY expensive (even the cheapest option) and the discounts are WAY better if you order in bulk.  So I make giant orders to save on shipping and get nearly 50% off what the cost would be if I was […]

Goodies!

I’ve decided to use this blog primarily for information and contact purposes rather than for promotion, and as such there will be no such thing as scheduled updates, any more. No ‘definitely once a week’ or anything of the kind. If I have something interesting to share, I’ll be around…and otherwise this blog […]

Sentiment

I am the kind of person who would LIKE to be sentimental…but just can’t manage it.  It seems so unfeminine, to be almost utterly lacking in sentimentality.  I don’t look at old photos with any sense of warm-fuzziness, I don’t look upon gifts as talismans or signs of love (though I do remember who gave […]

And it’s cold and cloudy out, too…

I am currently suffering a severe lack of strength and energy, lately.  I have been managing…barely…to do the most basic parts of my routine.  Listing items on Etsy daily, for example.  Eating, showering…biking if it isn’t windy…and that is pretty much it.  I haven’t even been watching TV or going for groceries like usual…I’m really […]

My hidey-hole

I have been pulled off the internet and more into ‘real life’, lately…and consequently I forget all about this poor little blog.  I think I’m still managing once a week, and sometimes more, but still…I do keep forgetting.
I made 5 or 6 sticks the other day but that was a little while ago…the creative front […]

Take a peek in my closet…

I was going to post yesterday, but I felt *awful*.  A little better today, but still not good enough to be in the mood to concentrate on anything.  But still, I did get another idea for possible jewellery, and again the inspiration came from Skip Beat.  (Much gratitude to Nakamura for her attention to detail.)  […]

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 […]

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 […]

Shorties want to be decorated, too.

Yesterday was completely eaten up by an unavoidable trip to the city (Ottawa which, for those of you who know nothing about Canada, is the capital of the country…it’s a beautiful city, wonderfully clean and unpretentious.)  And I came back exhausted and injured so so far today I haven’t been very productive.  I’m also down […]

Mmm, freshly cut grass…

I’ll be brief, today.  I got my You Stink Soap order, which I promised to ‘review’.  It turned out great…I got 3 solid perfumes, 3 lip glosses, and 1 natural deodorant in the ‘Stinky Hippie’ scent.  Stinky Hippie smells like a freshly mown lawn…it’s just WONDERFUL, though quite unisex.
I’m happy with everything.  The lip gloss […]
