much better!

i went to where i love
the mint green wall of the 50's makeover at a neighborhood building
maybe these photos will make the cut for me
maybe my esty photo taking ship has finally come in
maybe i just really like this shade of green
here's to hoping others do as well

my collage bagmaking obssesion

these are my bags
my intense, collage mandalaesque bags
that i make but never seem to sell
and the photos always stink

i love my bags, and use them
often
in every color
but i suck at photos for etsy
like a blindspot i can't ever see
i just can't make a thumbnail photo for uploading that doesn't just
suck

i am whining
aren't i whining?
giving it another try, another upload, another crop
and keeping the fingers crossed

there are only so many times you can give family and friends yet another
handbag for christmas
you know what i mean?

Happy Easter from me and the "chickies"!

I am still putting the final touches on the last of the "loopy" designed chickies, but here are some of my other little creations for you to see...

They are lining up and heading out to baskets and Easter celebrating homes near you!

They are pretty adorable, if I do say so myself...

These little variety of chickies later received some sequin and seed bead eyes - but I had to show you...

Happy Easter Everyone!!

The best handmade soap - ever

I know I didn't make this - but Nan of Aunt Nancy's Soaps did. All wonderful, natural ingredients that you can read and understand, like olive oil, goat milk, aloe vera juice and lovely essential oils.There is nothing better than starting the day with a lovely scent on your skin and in the moist shower air. Everyday I come back to my bar of soap and it still smells great, which I can hardly say for myself and most likely, not of you either.
