miniscapes

we made terrariums last night. 

Mammillaria elongata 'Goldilocks' cactus, found snail shell, white rock and Tahitian moon black sand.

Wolf moss, white reindeer moss, dried pine, white rock, and a mini pagoda. This one is still a work in progress. I am thinking of adding some steps and maybe some Irish moss.

Working on a few more, so stay tuned.

Earth Art

sacks

My very creative friends, Meghan and Alex are in town and we spent yesterday together making crafts. Check out our awesome handmade stuff sacks. Mine is perfect to hold my markers and colored pencils. Now that I have the pattern settled I can start production on more. My stuffed animal designs were also just featured on a quilting blog. See them HERE!

Original Fabrics!

I recently signed up with spoonflower.com! I love this site so much, it is the best place I have seen to shop for fabric on the web. And you can upload, print and sell your own designs. Have a look at my first group. Many many more to come. I am obsessed now. I post the projects created with the fabrics as well. If you would like to purchase yardage of any of these lovelies head over to my spoonflower profile. Enjoy!

Hufflepuff

The last Harry Potter movie is coming out next month. It's wild to think I really did grow up with Harry. I have spent so many nights dreaming about Hogwarts. I would undoubtedly be a Hufflepuff, and be extremely proud of it.

Plümo

I just discovered this adorable site plumo.com. It is full of eclectic items for the house and simple but unique clothing... just my style. Below are a few of my most coveted items.

Although I am taking a break from shopping since I recently purchased the iPad 2, (and paid extra for the super soft and gorgeous tan leather smart cover) so for now I can only admire...

In the Dog House

Bill found some really sturdy poster boards in the dumpster recently and we have been discussing a use for them. One idea is to build a dog house for Bijou. I've been researching some of the coolest pet dens and found most of them on http://dog-milk.com. Here are some of the best..
