So I have no idea if anyone is interested in my New Year's Resolutions, but they go a little something like this:
1. Make at least 10 new items per month for Etsy.
2. Exercise at LEAST 15 mins every day until my birthday (Feb. 24th)
3. No candy for the entire month of January.
4. Buy more things that are handmade and less sweatshop items.
5. Re-apply to grad school.
I think that's pretty much it. I am not good at keeping resolutions for very long, so I figured a month or two and if I want to go longer, great, if not, Jan or Feb is not a daunting completion date. =)
So far the candy thing has worked out really well...except I forgot and ate a cadbury cream egg. eeps! So I will go through Feb. 1st to make up for it. lol.
As for 10 new items each month? I've made two so far and will list them tomorrow but hope to make at least one more tonight.
And the buying more things that are handmade? That isn't hard. Etsy is full of amazing, gorgeous, fun things. I just bought two more hair accessories from VieModerne
Want to see? I am SO excited!
I had been eyeing the one above for a while now, but VieModerne went on vacation, so the minute I got the alert saying she was back from vacation mode, I knew I had to snag it!
And of course, combined shipping is a GREAT reason to buy than one item from a shop, so I bought this one as well:
It takes VieModerne about a week to make items, as they are all made to order, so I hope to get them in two weeks. I am thrilled!
My handmade penpal Nadine sent me this awesome headband a la CoCoBoudoir that I continuously get compliments on:
(Click the above photo for a better photo of the headband)
People at work constantly ask me who made it and where they can get one. Last Friday, MoMA had 22,000 visitors to the Museum. Talk about great advertising! I wish sellers would send me business cards!
There are two guys at work who make fun of me for the "Waldorf orchid" pictured above, One is bald and the other has a very close shave. I told them they are jealous, they've nicknamed me "flower girl". =) Not so bad!
I'm off to sew more!
<3 Always,

I love all those pieces! Ack! I could own soo many. I'm glad you are getting compliments on the headband I gave you. It is so cute !
Nadine, you hit the nail on the head by buying me that headband! I convo'd Erin and told her I have had lots of MoMA visitors interested and could use some business cards if she had any to send me and she seemed really excited about it. =) Thanks again!
