connecting the dots

A moss heart my son found.  He is always looking out for his mama.

:: Connecting the dots of my life ::

 My son found this moss heart for me while we were camping at Laurence Lake.

My friend Cori Kindred who has an etsy shop called Mushrooms and Moss and I opened a combined space at an antique shop called Found on Fremont in NE Portland.

If you live in the Portland area you should come by the shop as  Fremont Fest is happening on Saturday.  It will be tons of fun for the whole family.

Have a good weekend!

 

february

 

Even though I can't believe January is already over ,  I am quite pleased that the month of February is now here. 2010 full steam ahead!

If you know me at all, you know that Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday.  I don't even try to make excuses for that fact anymore.  Something about this time of year, red, pink, brown.  I just love it.

In honor of my favorite holiday I have put some sweet little valentine (anytime) kits up  in my etsy store.

go have a look and try not to get inspired. 

   

psssst want to know a secret?

A while back Ez from Creature Comforts featured me on her blog in her  Today I love series..I was so excited to be featured on her blog. I was then selected by Ez and Holly of Decor8 to participate in their Kindred desktop wallpaper series for spring 2009.  It was such an honor to be given this amazing opportunity and to be in such great company with the other amazing artists featured. So go and get your "free" desktop wallpaper and make sure to explore the Kindred site.

finally necklaces

Hey remember when i talked about posting pictures of necklaces?  Well I finally got around to making them this weekend and I am so happy with the way they came out.  They are in my shop now.

 

So I spent the weekend with a box of kleenex on the couch.  Although I didn't feel horrible enough to stop crafting.  I had my bottle of purell to sanitize my hands of course.  More mushrooms, the necklaces and a little something I will show your tomorrow.  I also wrapped a few gifts this weekend, and for the first time in my life I wrapped standing up.  I highly recommend it ladies really!  I remember last year at this time when I posted about how my back hurt from wrapping on the floor, I couldn't believe how many people commented that they wrapped on the floor too.  No more I tell you!

I hope today you are all happy and healthy.  I hope you are not too stressed by this holiday season.  Thanks for visiting as always.
