It's such a great feeling, having someone want to pay for something you have made. I'm sure all you crafters feel the same. There's nothing like it. :)

Finally!!!
So, I admit I was skeptical about ArtFire. The layout isn't as clean as Etsy, I wasn't sure if people even bought stuff on there, and I didn't really think I would sell anything on it. I made an account about an hour ago, and I hadn't even finished listing my items when, would you believe it, I got a sale! So, of course, I went running to Phillip yelling " I sold something, I sold something!", only to run back to the computer to check again. After a LONG time of no sales on Etsy, this definitely raised my spirits. So, tomorrow, my retro owls pouch will be on its way to Nevada!

Thrift Haul - 05/26/2009
Today was one of our weekly thrifting trips, so we headed to Canton to hit up some Goodwills! And did I find some good stuff. I seriously love shopping at thrift stores. You never know when youll find something good, but when you do its the best feeling. :)
1) This completely adorable Hello Kitty mini pleated skirt. Its a bit too big for me at a size XL, but a little altering will fix that up nicely. $4.00
2. A BRAND NEW pair of amazing jeans from Banana Republic, with the tag still attached. Originally $89. Mine for $5.
3. A really cool wooden mini locker, which will soon be sanded, painted, and made awesome. $3
4. TRIPP black and red corset, in really good condition! This is also an XL, and is not so easily altered, so has made its way to ebay. Here's the listing if youre interested. Starting out at only $7!

Dino Love
I think that t shirts make the best bags. They're colorful, soft, and strong...all the things you need for a great everyday tote! Here are a couple that I recently put up.
This one is a fave, and Im so tempted to keep it. It was made from a No Boundries shirt, and a canary yellow linen. It's also got a little yellow heart button to keep things extra cute!
And then we've got the super cool Mario Bros. Plumbing tote! I love it. The image is a raised velvet, and looks vintage and awesome. Bright red lining, and a dotted base.
Ive got a huge bin of tshirts to delve into and create into bags, so more will be on the way!

Too much Christmas Crap.
Life has been so crazy lately, it's nice to just sit back and relax. Or in my case, sew! I spent a month in California visiting my aunt and helping her clean out her house and garage so she can rent it out. Holy crap. I have never seen so much stuff in one place. When I was younger I used to wonder what was in all those boxes piled high to the ceiling. Now I know.
Christmas stuff.
In every single box.
It was completely ridiculous. And it took FOREVER to get through it all. Im sure all those lights and plastic Santas are still strewn about the driveway waiting for a garage sale. On a brighter note, I found a TON of old sewing supplies, fabric, and things! I also found some clothing that used to belong to my mother when she was my age and first moved to America with her family. Which is great. I'll try and get some pictures of them soon.
On a compeltely differant note, I saw Star Trek a couple days ago. And it was completely amazing. I wish all movie remakes were that amazing. They should redo all those crappy Star Wars add ons and make them like Star Trek. I hate those Star Wars movies...
