I saw these earring on Flickr and just had to have them, so Tait ordered them for me for Mother's Day. So gorgeous, I love the colors! I just got them a few days ago and wear them every chance I get. They're from a fellow Etsy seller jcn Studios. Her work is so lovely. Now I'm eyeing a bracelet from her that would look gorgeous with these!
The festival was terribly slow but we sold a few things. I'm looking forward to doing the Blackberry festtival in July. Mmmm....blackberries. But for now I'm just trying to get my house back in shape. I've been so busy the past week so this week is catchup.

Picnic Weather

I treated myself  to a couple of Mother's Day treats this weekend. I found the best picnic basket at an antique store. So nice and roomy! I've been searching for one like this and it was only $10.

And this little  raspberry basket? purse? oddity? Whatever it is, it's super cute! I'm just a sucker for raspberries.

I haven't decided whether or not I'm gonna keep this one, though. I love it but it is terribly impractical and with 2 little ones I rarely get to carry anything smaller than a diaper bag. Though I was thinking that it would look lovely just hanging from a doorknob but then again, the girls would be sure to rip it off and drag it around the house stuffed with toys. Who knows, it could end up a giveaway to one of you. Do you like it?

Oh, and I just had to share this picture of Kaiya. Sometimes I stalk them while they sleep.

The feet! That's the best part. 

Very, Very Busy!

I have been so busy the past week, getting ready for a festival I'm doing on the 17th of this month. It's only gonna be me and another seller from the Catawba Handmade Etsy street team. So I'm working hard to beef up my inventory. I've been working on some new items:

I love these notebooks. And they're so simple to make. A great way for me to work through some scrap fabric . They each have 20 pages of unlined paper.

And more pincushions. I just can't get enough of these! And last night I started on some knitted then felted projects. I'll post some photos of those later. But for now I have to get back to work.
