Late Theme Thursday and More: Fem Power

Okay, just to clarify, this week's theme is not about rabid feminazis, but rather a celebration of femininity and freedom, an idea that came to me after I went to Planned Parenthood to get my birth control and my yearly exam.

Featured Item: Crocheted Wire Mesh Ring

OK, normally I try not to feature things that are also on the front page of ETSY for the day, but this was so fabulous I could not pass up the chance to feature it today. I may have mentioned that I have a soft spot for metallic 'fabric' so this is no exception. The ring is made from oxidized silver wire and is custom made to fit your finger. Precious Meshes has a bunch of other really gorgeous crocheted wire Jewelry, so they are most definitely worth checking out!

Featured Item: Scarflette Set (its not self-promotion, I swear!)

A while back, before school was out, Laura approached me and Rita about doing a coproduction scarflette set, and it was just recently finished. Due to how awesome the THREE separate scarflettes look together, they are being sold as a set and I think they are absolutely FABULOUS. Laura is one of the people I met early on in my Etsy tenure and she has always had gorgeous photos and gorgeous things to sell- but this I love. She came up with the idea, and Rita spun the yarn for the scarves themselves- I made the flowers. The idea came out so lovely that I just can't resist- I need to show you guys.

Absolutely GORGEOUS.

Featured Item: Crocheted Scarf

This listing has been taken down

Today has been a "great" day. Awakening at 6:30AM, I realized that it was freezing. Then, around 8:55AM, the power decided that it did not want to grace us with its presence anymore, and thus we decided to leave for our Breakfast date early (we were meeting up with a friend from work). Thankfully, the Golden Corral was open and we were able to have a nice, hot, meal, but that does not change the simple fact... it was 28 degrees F by time we left there.

Hence, I am featuring this scarf by Ashabee's Creations, one of my friends from the Etsy Chat. As it is, I love a lot about her shop- she has cute little scarves and armwarmers and whatnot, and she takes great photos. This scarf makes me feel all warm, just like I want to on a nasty, rainy, freezing day like this.

Theme Thursday: Autumn in the Air

We had our first very chilly day today, so it made me think "wow, fall is on the way," hence the theme. Again, I really really reallllly apologize that I've been neglecting the blog, I promise to try harder and I hope sincerely that my schedule will be a little better once training is over, excluding Mondays which will be the night I rehearse should I manage to ace my audition this Sunday and get into the Great Falls Symphonic Choir.

Theme Saturday and more: Circles

Again, I'm terribly sorry that things are slow. Hopefully once I adjust and get on an earlier shift things will be more regular, but as it is I'm really busy with training (even though I'm bored out of my mind when I'm 'learning'), and when I finally get home at night I'm terrrrrribly tired.

Also, please, guys, go check out Totemic. I've raved about John before but he's freaking awesome and... I can't say anything more about him other than that. I guarantee you'll have an awesome experience when you shop from him and you'll love what you buy.
