So in my previous post, I talked about how I came up with the idea for the pushpins.  Well I made a couple of sets.  Here they are for you guys to get a sneak peek at before I put them up for sale.  Tell me what you think.

So I went to the mall this weekend while my boyfriend was at a meeting.  It was very inspiring.  I love going to Anthropologie and looking at all of the overpriced stuff that you look at the pricetag and put it back.  But while I was walking out I saw this cute little set of pushpins with little fabric flowers on them.  And it gave me the idea.  How cute would it be to make sets of pushpins with buttons on them!!!!  I could sell different colored ones.  Like natural colors, pastels, white gray and black, all sorts of different ones.  I just need to go shopping for new buttons, because the ones I have now are more designated for my necklaces and stuff.

Also if you havent seen it I also came up with another idea.  Its still a work in progress.  trying to get the right height for it.  But its this:

A zipper ring!!  Now I did try it with just the zipper and also with a zipper pull instead of a button, but I like the button better.

I also made these headbands.  I made two of them, a white one and a black one:

After my pushpins, I still want to try making a coffee cozy with zippers like my purses.

Hello!  Sorry I kind of went radio silent for a while after the holiday season.  I have been posting new things up in my store, but I haven't really got to create anything new lately, so that is why I have been silent.

Man so my craft fair earlier this month gave me a BUNCH of new ideas to add to my arsenal of items in my shop.  I am so excited to start working on them!  Unfortunately they won't be up on my shop until the new year, but still VERY exciting.  One of them I am definitely making one for myself.  I had someone ask for clip on earrings, so I am going to start adding those to my shop and possibly have the option of getting them as regular earrings too.

I also got new ideas for gift boxes for next year.  I am so very excited!  I will be posting blogs up on the making of the new items when I start making them so you can see them before they are put up on my shop.

Wow!  I went to this exhibit this weekend to check out the new Restoring Earth exhibit that I worked on. It is so cool.  You get to learn how they are helping save the rainforests and there is all of the different species of birds and moths and butterflies... and there is this big interactive part where you answer 5 questions and based on that you get this little collection that goes up on the big screen.  And then you can stand in the beam of light in front of the big screen and interactively go through all of the different collections that people have made.  ALSO they email it to you so you can customize it and see all of the other collections.

Heres a link to all of the collections:

If you see butterflies, moths or the iPod and speaker.. those are mine.  :D

So I had my very first craft fair experience this past weekend.  It was a  lot of fun.  Kind of stressful at times, but overall great!  I learned a few things on what to take next time.  And also got some ideas for new items for my shop.  I shared a booth with my mom and she did very well!  I was so happy for her.  I really wanted her to do well because after the craft fair last year she was so down, it broke my heart.  She said for my first one, I did very well too, which I didn't think I did since I had a lot of stuff still on my table when I left, but I did make a bit of green, so thats cool.  :)  I can at least afford groceries this week now. YAY! 

I am going to be posting up a couple of new Christmas items this week, once I get photos taken of them.  I am very excited to see them sell.  They are too cute not to.
