Today I spent some much needed quality time in my craft room!
I set up Dexter in the middle of the room with his bed & toys






I cut out as many owls as I could from the remaining fleece...which was sadly only 4


I got some new fabric in the mail and couldn't wait to make owl pillows!
You can find the new owl pillows in my shop this week!!




I also listed these mini mum earrings today!!
You can find them in my accessories shop You're A Dreamboat


I think I've mentioned this before but I like to read the closed threads blog (threads that are closed on the etsy forums) while I eat. It's my celebrity gossip, if you will. I read it and find out who to stay away from pretty much. People are so rude to each other! I've learned to never post in the forums by reading those.
A month ago I was told someone was making owls that looked like mine and I asked the person what they thought I should do. They suggested I go on the forums and ask. I knew that was a terrible idea because I've read numerous threads on "copying" and I knew if I did that I was just giving people an opportunity to knock my work. I know calling out is BAD in the forums but I appreciate the ones that help others, such as; someone is stealing people's photos to sell things, a buyer is reselling a seller's item on ebay, someone wants you to make a custom item but shows you an item from another seller. I think it's good to know what's going on. Don't judge me! haha

What's your guilty pleasure where you say, "Don't judge me!"

  1. this room is a great creative venture, and no worries about stupid people. plus you make awesome stuff it's natural to be jealous if someone is miserable

  4. I like closed threads too! Once, I was the last one to post on a closed thread (right before Matt)and I had a major typo. I was so embarrassed b/c I knew everyone would see it on "Closed Threads!" haha

  5. hhhmmmm I don't know what my guilty pleasure is... Netflix or msnbc lockdown.... I guess. If you want a wonderful toy for dexter that will keep him busy for longer then 10 minutes buy him a puppy KONG with the cheese wiz stuff. Gus goes crazy about it. Its sort of expensive but totally worth it!!!

  9. I've never read the closed threads yet - but I guess it's good to know now never to post in the threads if it means I'm avoiding drama. I strongly dislike hearing/reading other people's ridiculous comments because it brings out the fighter in me!! haha!! Like... when someone says someone ignorant I just can't help but tell them like it is!! So I think I'll steer clear of that. ;)

    Spice Girls. Don't judge me!!
