a little extra cash...

I went on a card shopping spree these last few days on Etsy. I purchased cards from Vermont Vintage and again from Creative Apples.

Look out, Etsy Penpal, you are going to be card'd out in the upcoming weeks!

I wanted to buy the dress from Miss Brache but then I realized I'm not in the best shape. So I started a crazy workout cycle. I do at LEAST 10 mins of hulahooping, which actually burns the same amount of calories as running an 8 min. mile. Today I did an hour of hula hooping and some dance cardio. So hopefully in 3 weeks or so I will be where I usually am physically and I can take measurements and order the dress.

Tonight is "Jaws" on the big screen @ MoMA. I'm SO stoked! I'm trying to find the perfect Jaws outfit. lol. I've been a little more ridiculous than normal.

Peace and Love,

w00t! Etsy Purchases!

So I arrived home last night to find my package of fabric from CatyLouQuilts. Totally excited! I have to wash it before I make anything, but laundry has to be done at some point today anyway.

I finally remembered to look up my stimulus check date. I will be getting my money in about 10 days! I promised myself I'd put the majority right into the bank but spend a bit on Etsy. I like the idea of putting money back into the Etsy Market.

Do you know what that means? In a month and a half or so I will have that killer dress from MissBrache!

And I will obviously be purchasing more cards for my penpal!

So stoked!

Today has been a super slow lazy day. I had kickball finals last night after work, we won 2nd place, not too shabby! Today I laid on the couch for most of the morning, had an ice cream shake for breakfast and decided to get off my lazy behind and make some stuff. I have fabric ironed and cut already, so it's time to put it together for some new makeup bags.

It's rainy, I'm allowed to be a little lazy today. =)

a girl can dream...

I have been wanting a retro-style black halter black dress with white polkadots for quite some time. I believe I've found the absolute perfect one on Etsy!

Now I just need $95 + shipping of disposable income!



I have the perfect black patent leather sexy sexy sexy heels to wear with it.

I think I would just need a rockabilly boyfriend for dates.

Back at work...

I spent all day Saturday sewing, made 3 clutches, I will be listing them in the next couple days. I am so excited! They have magnetic snaps and everything. I have been searching for fabrics I can use for both clutches and baby dresses and found some in FabricStash's shop. I plan on making another big order in April and making lots more baby dresses, in different sizes.



Sunday was spent with the family, so I got absolutely nothing handmade done. Although, I made birdsnest cookies and irish soda bread for Easter w/ the fam.

I am absolutely in love w/ my latest etsy purchase. I wanted a swallow necklace for a while and contacted OffBeet to see if it was possible to receive it by Easter. She was great, responded right away, shipped the item as soon as I paid for it and I've been wearing (and loving!) the necklace ever since!

Short entry, I'm back at work today after my 3 day weekend. It's hectic and crazy and I wish I'd taken another vacation day. =) I hope I'm not too tired tonight to make things!

<3 Always,
