Wowsers!

Don't you just love nutty words....like 'wowsers' and 'shazam'?
Anyhoo, huge thank you to those of you who purchased items from my shop yesterday! Your orders will ship tomorrow.  Those items disappeared super fast....so ......Wowsers!  Thanks!  I know some of you missed out, so I'll try my best to do another update this month with more pouches and bias tape.  I still have some mirrors left, so I can make more of those too.  I've got some other tricks up my sleeve too.....*rubs hands together....throws head back with wicked laughter* ....so hold tight.

(yes that's my big face you see......Aargh! Cover your eyes!!)

In other news.....(I just love saying that...tee hee).....ahem.....in other news, there's a new blog in blogland! Label Free! It is the brainchild of the lovely Aimee of super awesome Betsy Ross Patterns.  I'm happy to say that I've been invited to be a contributor along with several talented ladies:

SappMamma of Purly Victorious
Korallin of Kuky Ideas
Leya of Curious Bird
Tiffany of Tiffany in the Trees
and
Oh My Eye!

In Aimee's words:

"Homesewn is not a dirty word. This blog is for all of you with coffee tables that double as cutting tables, sewing machines that are held together with electrical tape, and an irrepressible desire to be creative in your own, unique space and on your own terms."

I'll be posting there about once a week, but I'll continue to make my posts here as well. I think it'll be a nice read, so go ahead and add it to your ever growing list of blogs!  Shazaaaaam!!

Crafting Japanese

Just a quick note to announce that I,
(along with these fine bloggers)
futuregirl craft
kuky ideas
the many layers of kate
purple kappa

tricot methode frankenstien
domesticity
hambone and jennicakes

have volunteered to assist Maitreya of Craftlog in updating Crafting Japanese!

Yay!  Totemo koufun shiteiru yo! (I'm really excited!) Don't worry, no dancing in this post.  I'm still sore from the last one! 

Maitreya has been so gracious to start this site for all of us and it's popularity has grown so much that she
needed some help and I'm so very happy to do it!  If you're not familiar with Crafting Japanese, it's a resource for information on Japanese craft books and where and how to buy them.  Also, there are links to tutorials, projects, and free patterns!  Definitely a link you should bookmark.

^_^ Ja mata ne!

A new friend has tagged me as a 'Rockin' Girl Blogger'. *blushes* Thank you!

Well, I think she rawks too.  So I'm tagging her back! ^_^  Charlene you R-O-C-K!
Charlene is a mommy of two from the lovely and lush Singapore and is a super talented scrapbook artist!  I love looking at her layouts.  They're so creative and seem to have so much movement and life.

(Psssst......She makes cool stuff too!)

Be sure to check out her blog and her flickr page!

So Softies
While at the Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn last month my husband saw the Happy Bears t-shirt  at the
So Softies booth.  Unfortunately, all of the men's sizes were sold out, so we bought one on back order.  It finally arrived!  And we love it!

Now I wish I had bought one for myself.  Better grab one while they're still available! ^_^

Fresh Flowers
Flowers for the new baby from my hubby's office.  (Thanks guys! They're gorgeous!)
