R & D time

As 2009 draws to a close I am looking forward to the new year ahead of me.

I have a few months off from the market but will be doing the First Thursday events with Idaho Indie Works at the Pioneer Tent Building.

I am hoping to take this time to develope some of the ideas that have been floating around in my head. I'm doing a little "research & development."

Without giving too much away, expect to see some more record vinyl creations for the home (hint: a "bright" idea), some more uses for the corks I've got stockpiled, new record vinyl necklace designs, more belt buckle creations, and a new addition to the "accessory" category.

I'll also be taking some time to list more of my work on Etsy, and try to give my own website it's much needed makeover.

And cross your fingers, because this week I'm sending in the storage buckles to Marth Stewart... yes, 2010 is going to be the year of Miss Courageous!

Holiday Grooves

"Where...?"

Today Greta handed me the globe and asked: "Mommy, where do the unicorns live?"

Lost thoughts

I dreamt up a great blog post, it was something about "5 types of..."

It was witty, clever, and well written.

I told myself I would remember it when I awoke.

Apparently I lied to myself, I've no idea what it was, but I distinctly remember it was 5, it was funny, and well, now it's forgotten.

I hate when that happens.

Somehow my parents find the coolest things.

And you can now find them in my Etsy shop!

The Color Purple

This morning when swimming lessons were finished and we were about to drive out of the parking lot of the Y, Greta sighed and said: "I wish everything were purple."

I don't quite get a three year olds obsession with a color, but I can't wait to see the look on her face when she wakes from her nap to see what came out of our garden for dinner!
