thankful for...

I busted out the digital glue sticks and makers here  for this masterful 3rd grade inspired artwork. Anyone know a photoshop trick for "glitter"?

Just a few of things that I'm grateful for this year.  The actual list is long... my family, their & my health, my little business, being home for my birthday, being able to live in brooklyn, good things to come, AND this list includes you too, thank you! It's really nice having internet buddies to share goofy pics of my cats with and snippets of my handmade life with...

Hope you have a most excellent Thanksgiving!!! Tofurkey!!

I'd love to hear what are you grateful for?

tomorrow!

if you're in the New York area you should go to this. you can do all your holiday shopping while supporting small local businesses from etsy. i just joined the NewNew etsy team and this is their first headlining event. i'll be there volunteering, so come say Hi.

And many thanks to Upstate Fancy of the etsy store PeperSprouts who wrote a really nice mention of me on her blog. i love the title "How Old Was this Tree". Thank you!

moustaches, cake and thanks...

firstly, many thanks to TheBline who included my red cross in her picks for the week, check it out. this is my first blog mention!
a belated birthday message to my good friend toni, who is an amazing artist. i visited her in boston for her birthday and wanted to share...thanks to Something's Hiding in Here for the perfect gift, a mustache on a stick. this one is "the barber." so good. i had a hard time giving it away. and yeah, she's eating a marshmallow wearing a 50cent necklace...
i also made her a little watercolor mounted on a page from an old german book. i was so happy with how it came out. i was sketching these little homes and decided that i should play with watercolors, and while i worked mi gato, the bug, kept me company. love it. but don't be fooled hes kinda a jerk...

i found my etsy front page....!

this is the first time I made it to the front page so i'm excited about it. Thanks to the Etsy Front Pagers, who catalog all the FPs on flickr. What a great resource to sellers who miss their 2mins of glory. Thanks to Torque for including me in her treasury! Yokoo is up there too and i've been wanting one of her crazy thick cowls to get lost in during this bitter cold in ny. Look at all that red too, nice...
