I must say, I enjoyed making these very much.

hey, i made these!!!

i made these muslin pouches for :something: i'll mention later...

i'm terrible at sewing. easily frustrated with sewing machines. threads always break on me. not to mention the flying needle tips.

HOWEVER, i managed to make 20 of these little pouches and not give up after the first painful attempt! yay! (those of you who make 100s of them in a few hours please feel free to laugh: it took me most of the day to make 20...)

majority of them have a red thread finish. i switched to black thread when the red ran out. i'm glad it did because i love both colors!

the daylight (well, new york daylight: reflection of the sun from building across the street) was over by the time i finished closing the pouches, hence the different lighting on the next shot. (excuses, excuses, excuses...)

::the reviews are in::

i highly recommend these two products by gudonya too. i tried them as soon as they arrived in the mail :)

the consistency of the shampoo is quite unusual. it's thick and grainy but softens immediately when you apply to wet hair. you don't need much for enough lather. my hair is long and with regular shampoos i need quite a squeeze, but not with this one.

the scent is out of this world. you have to try it to know what i mean...

the conditioner has an amazing scent as well. it has a delicate aroma and it lingers on your hands as well as it does on your hair.

like the shampoo, not much is needed to do it's job.

:them eggs:them cubes:

by raw draw designs

i think these are great and make perfect gifts. you can custom order with whatever you want written on it.

if i'd known about these eggs and/or cubes six months ago i'd suggested it to my best friend. she's getting married soon and these could have been pretty gifts for guests.

oh my ::this is too cute::

my beautiful ring from artisan impact...

arrived today and i couldn't be happier. it's so delicate and beautiful. i already feel like it's ::mine:: 

as i type this entry, i can't stop staring at it.

those who know me are aware of my little problem with odd numbers... i've been wearing 4 rings for a long time and it did bother me (don't judge!)

my search for the 5th ring has been long, frustrating and almost sad... i'm proud to say that today, i have found the one:

artisan impact

addict:

n.   (ād'ĭkt) 

1. One who is addicted, as to narcotics or a compulsive activity.
2. A devoted adherent; a fan: "We are all . . . addicts of change" (Christopher Lasch). 

no, not to narcotics but to a compulsive activity: browsing through esty and wanting to shop for more more more more more.

there are so many wonderful things being sold that it's impossible to not want to buy. i can't wait for more birthdays to come or better yet: christmas.

i do have to control myself as i'm just starting my business and i need to keep my savings: SAVED.

another thing i'm addicted to is to browsing through great ceramists/potters online.

if i could turn back time...

i'd be a ceramist by now...

esty shopping is addictive

i've been eyeing this tshirt from xenotees for a long time. i don't know why it took me so long to get it. well, i finally did! the print is just so clever, just like its designer. "Impress all your friends with this brainy, yet unique shirt. Is there really an "unkindness of ravens", a "smack of jellyfish", or a "business of ferrets"? You Betcha- and many more...
This is a list of over 100 animals & their collective names- some you've heard, but mostly the ones you haven't, & they are truly hard to believe!". look into the print for a few seconds. you'll see it move, i swear...

i can't wait to receive it... please arrive soon!!!

uhhhhhhh i can't wait to wash my hair with these. check out the descriptions on these.... at gudonyatoo

handmade soaps are already occupying most of my drawers... now with a possible hair product addiction, i will have to get storage space.

raedunn was featured on etsy's front page this afternoon and i fell in love with her work... and to make my day, i finally found the perfect soap dish i've been searching for a long long time... now my delicious handmade soaps will have a beautiful handmade dish to sit on...

mr. postman, hurry up!!!

i'm in love...

with these little handmade birds by cotton bird designs

if everyone i know chose to gift me one little bird for my birthday i'd be very happy :)

My First Etsy Purchase!

I just made my first Etsy purchase.

A soap bar! 

I love soap so much, I could not  resist this one.

I'll let you know what I think as soon as I receive it.

Excited.

i did it. so should you.

shhh series

the shhh series comes from my fascination with the positions in which people manage to sleep in when completely knackered. passed out. gone.

i've decided to romanticize the act by drawing little birds in such positions.
