How cute!

My workmate, Nicole, opened her etsy shop! I have to say it has really adorable things!!!

http://www.etsy.com/shop/roobedoo

Her shop, named RoobeDoo, is still new to Etsy, but within the first few days of being open sold 5 items! That's pretty good. She focuses on a few different mediums including sewing and jewelry making.

One of the first thing to be bought, which if I would have seen it first I probably would have gotten it! I love dogs (my shop IS named after my puppy) and so does Nicole, I hope this means more dog themed items in the future of her shop.

Anyway, those tiny pouches are amazing and she sells them for real cheap. She is making more to put on her website, so keep an eye out. They really are great! (and handy!)

She really is an amazing sewer. Check out this ridiculously cute bag.

This FUN bracelet is also a great find on etsy. She made it of seaglass, and fossils. It really is cute, and a good way to remember summer as it quickly leaves :(

Overall, go check on Roobedoo, and keep checking it out. It is one of the five shops I check everyday (mine including in that one) to see if she posts more stuff. Add her to your favorites!

Featuring KimsSweetCreations

I starting talking on Etsy Chat and luckily have met some cool people. One of the sellers I met is KimsSweetCreations. Her shop is great and hasn't had much luck in the sales department, so I wanted to help her out!

Her Swarovski Heart Sterling Silver Necklace

Her shop has some great jewelry pieces, and customer service is very important for her.

This is my favorite piece she has. She has a lot of great dangly earrings!

Visit her etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/KimsSweetCreations?page=1
She really is great and produces amazing products! :)

Tomorrow I will be finishing this and making it into a beautiful necklace. Right now it's a pin. Tutorial to follow tomorrow!

a little purple flower

Things have been moving for me. I have sold quite a few things in a short amount of days. I hope my luck continues. I'm learning I really like making jewelry, and I really enjoy my time doing it. It's not a chore.

I wanted a how-to tonight to make THIS amazing dinner: BREADED PORK CHOPS WITH LAVENDER


That being said, I don't have a recipe. I got pork chops. Put them in milk for a bit. Then poured some breadcrumbs mixed with garlic salt, pepper, rosemary, and LAVENDER. I rolled the pork in the breadcrumb mix and baked at 350 for about 40 minutes.

It.was.amazing. Cook with lavender. it will change your life.

blood spatter

this is what happens when I try to make headbands and blood spatter paintings. It's not real blood. only paint :)

blacksmithing

How was everything while we were away? I hope it was as wonderful as my trip.
I got back into the blacksmith shop. For those of you who don't know, I learned how to blacksmith for my job on Mackinac Island. I then volunteered as a blacksmith at a place around here, but didn't continue because of some issues (including distance to get there, etc).
Anyway, I got back into the shop and this time I brought Keither with me.
