A few vintage woodgrain letters were recently put in the shop:
They can be found in this section (for easier reference). Oh! and they are sold individually.
By the way, I found a cursive typewriter at a thrift store yesterday...something I've been on the hunt for for at least a couple of years...more on that soon! Eeeeeem!
A quick note to say that if you enter "HOLIDAY2011" from November 25-28, 2011 at checkout in the shop, you'll receive 10% off. In addition, if you spend $50 or more, you'll receive five "FOR YOU" gift tags for free (a $6.25 value)! Shop handmade!
AND...
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you enjoy some fantastic squash of some sort...hopefully local. The squash above is a Chirimen from a farm nearby....cut in half, roasted with Earth Balance and salt, and then topped off with a bit more Earth Balance, salt and pepper. It would also be amazing with brown sugar instead of pepper. Mmmmm.
The shop update is live! I wanted to share these pictures of the Abstract Fragment Necklaces. The for your Wall pieces are up as well!

This is the first Moss for your Wall with Linen fabric (notice the writing on the hoop....I love the history that comes with vintage hoops...and the quality).
above - Special Limited Edition Lichen for your Wall 8 (3 inch)
This limited edition is an edition of 10 (includes: vintage hoop, linen fabric, cashmere embroidery floss, and a dusting of gold mica powder - just like the granite rocks around my parents' home where the lichen grows - a lovely combination of colors and textures).

These will be included in the shop update on Saturday.
Off to go check on my feverish boy....
I'm planning on a shop update on Saturday, November 19, 2011. I can't reliably give a time because I'm currently nursing a feverish Boo. I'm attempting to keep positive that I will be well on Saturday and will have not caught the bug that Boo has (poor little pumpkin). Items to expect: Abstract Fragment Necklaces, Moss for your Wall, Lichen for your Wall, and some more Special Limited Edition Lichen for your Wall pieces. There may be more and I'll try to post images of what will be posted if I am able.
Speaking of visuals...I hate to have this post lack one. I know how popular Ojo de Dios have become...and I understand why...
Jenny and I tried our hands at making Ojo de Dios (the above is mine) a few weeks ago because I have a huge stash of yarn. I think it turned out nicely for a first try and the colors worked so well with the gourds that Boo picked out for decorating at Halloween. Here's the tutorial I used for the attempt (the sticks are bamboo from Jenny's yard).
Knight Vampire Skeleton with a Bat Mask is the official title of what Boo was for Halloween. I think T. Rex would approve that it was scary enough.
In other news, I may do a large shop update soon. I usually list items when they are finished and photographed, but I've been sitting on several completed pieces and several almost completed pieces. So, I'll see where I'm at and let you know when I plan to update the shop...stay tuned!
I hope your week has been treating you well. We went from summer straight to winter...we had a dusting of snow the other night which usually only happens a few times a year. Brrrr.
