fuzzy leaves..

i discovered these sweet wreath concepts that are very pretty.. thinkin' of makin' one, but it's way more complicated than just choosing one.. turns out i'd like to make sumthin a lil' less perfect..

irregular makes a wreath look a lil' more realistic, no?

sOo.. i went thru the wreaths and grabbed my picks that i thought combined would make the *perfect* door adornment..

leaves! sweet lil' idea.. but they need to be more than one color.. in *my* opinion.. 

sOo.. add pops of color like this one has!

& these flowers in varying sizes would be awesome...

 i'm gonna give it a shot.. wish me well.. this should be fun!  :)

sweet slipper shopping.

i was sO totally doin' some VERY necessary slipper shopping online when i decided to check on etsy.

now anyone who knows etsy KNOWS that etsians are VERY much a people who want to make money, (you know.. greenbacks, cheddar, dough). heh heh...

in other words, they ain't sellin' no peanuts.  O_o

but i hafta say, i found some awesomely crafted stuff..

there are some eXtremeLy creative people in the world!


look at these..

super adorable. insane, actually. (but i can't give her my 50 bucks for 'em)

and these!! 

now she KNOWS if i'm not givin' the boot girl, my $50, 

i'm certainly not gonna give her $75 for some peas.  O_o

and these!! (for when i feel like being a happy elf)

but, for 65 bucks, would i really be THAT  happy???

and these for when my feet shrink..

a LOT.

obviously, as you can tell, i am the WORST person to shop with ever. i prefer not spending over 5 bucks for ANYthing. (cheapskate)& unfortunately, i tend to have funky, but expensive taste.. cuz people who think funky, also think *show me da money*

just kidding..

but just ask me for my paypal account info if you wanna donate to my slipper fund. :D

just kidding... lol 

o__O

the lil' things..

yea.. sO, if u read my last post about enlightenment, passion and all that good stuff, you now KNOW that my joy/passion (wutever u wanna call it) is to work with youth.

Assata asked for a lil' handmade gift... for her birthday.

anyway, i made this lil' box for my cute friend Assata.. one of the junior high girls that i work with.. and she let out a VERY high-pitched squeal!! talk about makin' a girl's day..

i told Nadine that i don't make things for my own gratification, but as i write this, i can't help but wonder if there's a slight bit of joy received when we GIVE from our hearts. needless to say, Assata liked her lil' presents. =)

fuzzy birdies!

i'm not really into the concept of needle felting.. i guess to me it seems a bit too fragile.. but these lil' birdies are pretty cute..
