Im in love with tool..

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy.’ They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” — John Lennon

My first Etsy sale..

                 

I first discovered Etsy through a friend about a year an a half from now. Im addicted I must say. It is such an amazing place for people like me to get out there and become someone. People are inspiring on that site. People have quit there job and become a full time crafter. I was looking for my way to become part of this wonderful phenomenon. I was hesitant to make my own shop. This site is huge. I thought ”how would any one find me on here?”. Well they did..

I recently was contacted by a lovely lady named Nora. She is part of the Red Had society. A wonderful group of women that are full of girl power. I must mention they love warring ridiculous hats. I can’t explain to you how many times she explained I love bling. Well guess what..bling is what your going to get. I am so excited about this sale from my etsy site. I have been telling everyone.. but the younger crowd had no idea what im talking about.

It was all started by a lady named Sue Ellen who took a trip to Tuscan and bought a red fedora. She loved the looks of this magnificent fedora even though it was cheap and bought at a thrift store. She thought to her self why not ware it and be different. A few days later she read the poem “warning “by Jenny Joseph. A poem about a women warring a purple outfit and a wonderful red hat. As a birthday gift she gave her friend a red hat. From there the red hat gift was given from friend to friend for years and the Red Hat Society had started.

The red hat society is a world wide red and purple warring group that supports these wonderful idea’s..

Fun – we celebrate life at every ageFriendship – we solidify and expand the bonds of sisterhoodFreedom – we discover and explore new interestsFulfillment – we realize our personal potentialFitness – we embrace healthy, life-lengthening lifestyles

I am so excited to get these head pieces started for such inspiring powerful wimen.

Stay tuned..

All information was from the Red Hat Society web site.. check it out!!

words of wisdom..

Found this quote on another blog today .. I might be in love.

She Turned Her Cant's To Can's
   And Her Dream's To Plan's

a thought

Always in movies they have the corny lines of how to find yourself. I couldn’t possibly  count the times were there’s a dramatic seen ware the man turns around and says in a passionate whisper.. ”some day you will find yourself and I will be here waiting”. Most people when you ask them about themselves they get in a quiver of ummm I like .. and umm I love. I believe it takes a big bang in your life to make you think wow I’m this way. Or maybe the big bang puts you in a spot where you’re stuck. Where your living everyday wondering who you are. You could also be the one who strongly THINKS I repeat THINKS they know. You live your life living breathing and thinking you know. In the end the people closest to you probably know your nothing but a confused clusterfuck of a mess.

Really, when you think about it the things you say you like ,do you really like them? Are you saying that because your searching and searching in your head for something. Then you think I did that yesterday, I liked that , then you say it out loud. You think wow was it really that hard? It’s like in kinder garden when the teacher puts a piece of paper in front of you and some paints.. “paint what you like”. I like cookies, my mom, and my blanket. Hm..

I could spend days watching people walk by me. Making up an in depth story about them because of the look on their face, the color they are warring, or the way they walk. Some would say I have too much time on my hands. I would say no ,you live in a box. Sometimes when you’re sitting in the background you learn the most about people. People always have a story and most of the time they have no idea.

My reasoning in this full story book is simple. Do you ever know who you are?During changing and loving and fighting and thinking and watching.. do you really?

Another Job Done..

I had finally finished Yulia's birdcage veils.They look amazing but have been making me a nervous wreck .I  have noticed when putting them on a normal surface the netting gets bent .I need some clever way to make them stay in the correct shape..as winnie poo would say Think Think Think. It was time to think about my packaging for these and here is what I came up with ..

I found these wonderful box's at Acmore.They worked great and were just the right size for these pieces.They always say packaging draws in the customers!

Picture Perfect  :) I can not wait to give them to her..
