New Blog

I've decided I like wordpress more than I do blogger.
Something about it just seems more me.
so you can follow my new blog ( I am still trying to figure it all out and customize it all)

Lovely Etsy Products

As promised (even though it's a day late, sorry!) I'm going to show everyone what I have ordered from etsy so far.
There's so many products to choose from, I'm sure you could find just about anything.

Moldmuse is a wonderful shop (super affordable too) that sells silicone molds. Above I have a rose and mum mold. Behind the molds is a small bag of a few trials I have done, the pink and lilac colored flowers are clay and the darker blackish are from resin.

These fabric bows are wonderful from myjustpeachyshop, several choices are available in many colors and patterns. I bought one in mint and coral. The colors seem a bit washed out and not as vibrant in this picture as they really are.

 maigocutie has so many cute things! Imported fabrics, washi tapes, and items from japan. This here is a washi tape dispenser in the shape of a cat! The seller even included some Japanese candies too:)
I actually plan on buying some fabric with cats on it to make a tote bag. I will blog about that when I get it, and post how to make the bag also.

extase offers many hand carved rubber stamps, knit goods, and self printed linographs like the picture above. She uses traditional Japanese processes to make her art, that is carved from linoleum and hand printed. Nothing is a digital reproduction.
This piece is modeled after her own cat Chewbacca.

There is one last item I ordered, but I have not received it yet. I'm actually kind of upset because I ordered it on the 12th of August and it has yet to arrive almost a month later, I mean it only shipped from Texas so it shouldn't take this long. They are beautiful earrings that I was excited to have.

have you ever ordered anything from etsy?

End of Summer

As I took my dog Jack on a walk and enjoyed the nice weather I could really tell summer is starting to wind down. The days are usually 85-90 degrees (29-32 c) it's now a few degrees colder and a bit windy. The nights are starting to get down to around 60 (15 c), which I'm enjoying very much.
While on our walk in the neighborhood I found a bunch of pretty flowers and picked them to press.
I just snapped a quick picture of them and I'm so happy with how colorful they are.

Even though I love flowers, I'm so excited for autumn and winter. I enjoy wearing a nice jacket and comfy boots.

Something To Make You Smile

As I am stressing about not feeling to well and having so much material to read I decided to take a moment and laugh because I needed it.
So I'm going to share it in hopes it will make you laugh dear reader and maybe make your day. It's an adorable kitty swimming around in a bath tub. Unfortunately I have no clue to what the people in the background are saying because I don't know very much Russian.
Have a nice day/evening/whatever,

p.s. I will have those blog posts ready by Friday as those are my day off:)

New Posts Coming Soon

I am extremely busy and have been the last few days, but I have a few nice posts planned coming up.
I'm looking forward to making them!
They include: some new crafting endeavours and supplies, some new clothes, an update about a change in my living space, a trip I want to take this weekend, and details about my new etsy shop!
Keep a look out for the next few days as I hit the books (I have around 6 very long chapters to read and copious amounts of notes to take for my western civilizations course)
Until then,

Surviving University

So far I have survived my first week of classes! Yay!
I'm actually pretty excited for my Western Civilizations class because history is so interesting to me. Now we are studying ancient cities and cultures of Mesopotamia, luckily I remember most of this from my first year of high school.
My public speaking class is making me nervous because I have such bad anxiety. I think I will just suffer through the class and try as hard as I can.
My English class seems decently easy along with my computer class.
I already have a paper due Monday for English and History, ugh.

On a better note I have ordered nice things from etsy and I am looking forward to getting them in the mail to write about on here!:) One of my packages have arrived already and I can't wait for the others.
Until then,

New Blog Feature

I have started an etsy shop to start selling things that I crochet, but unfortunately my paypal issues haven't been resolved so I cannot sell anything right now. I have instead decided to add a widget to show my favorite things I find there. So many pretty and great things can be found there I absolutely love it.
I hope you enjoy seeing what I find:)
