cherries for Mary Engelbreit

I will post again soon about my own creative endeavors, but I wanted to do another feature tonight. I was a huge fan of Mary Engelbreit growing up.


I still have some Mary Engelbreit cards/stationery and a couple other things like one of her stuffed animals and a couple of her books. As you may or may not know, she uses cherries in a number of her illustrations. I thought it would be fun to do a cherry feature in honor of her. Enjoy!

continued turquoise

I put together a random turquoise feature while I was in one of the chat rooms on Etsy a couple weeks ago. Since the turquoise and red was so well received yesterday, I figured that this would be a good a time as ever to post it. Enjoy!

newest two-hole button jewelry, other recent fun with buttons

As promised, I listed a couple new items tonight. The first is the newest version of my two-hole button explosion charm bracelet.

I also have coordinating two-hole button explosion earrings now!

You can view both of these lovely items together.
Take 10% off BOTH items if you purchase them together! Refunds will be issues via PayPal.

I also created a set for my old preschool's annual silent auction. I went there myself way back in the day, and I also worked there during the summers around college. You can still see the announcement about the event on their web site. An old family friend ended up placing the winning bid, which was neat and unexpected.

I took one of our old plastic tables out to the porch to work on my newest button projects this weekend. It worked pretty well so I took it out there again today. It's kind of ghetto, but it's better than sitting on the porch floor. (You can also see that I finally took down our Christmas lights haha. No, I did not turn them on after mid-January, but I left them up quite a while after that.)
I had fun laying out a handful of different projects last night.
I'm sure that it will take me at least a few months to finish everything there. I still have a lot of bead weaving projects planned, and I'm sure that I will think up more ideas along the way.
