Purses for store!

July 28, 2006 · 8 Comments

I finally have some things finished! There are only two, but the others are coming along slowly but surely.
I don’t have the store up yet- I want to have more ’stock’ prepared- but I am getting excited about it. Hehe.
Anyway, this is one of my favorite purses. It is small, only about 8×4 inches, but I love it:

It is a fully lined, sturdy bag with a small pocket and a snap closure.

I designed the bag and stencil myself. The bag was really hard, but I like how it came out.

Haircut… with picture

July 9, 2006 · 3 Comments

This post is so crafty it’s not even funny. Seeing as how I had nothing to do, it being a Friday night and all, I gave myself a haircut. Yes, that si what I did. I have a habit of constantly going in and PAYING someone to do this task for me. But tonight, I did it myself. I looked over a million websites, and found some cute styles. I found a lot that were longer, but I though, hey why not do it short? You know me, and of course there are no pictures… yet. I jsut cut it up and made it a little mroe messy, and then I teased sprayed it in the back. It’s totally fun to tease hair. So poofy and crazy… Yeah, I need to get off the computer and do something useful with this insomniac tendency of mine. I think I might regret this psot tomorrow, seeing as how I should be working on store stuff, and posting pictures of that rockin wallt that I’m too lazy to get pics of. I get to see Johnny Depp, I mean Pirates of the Caribbean tomorrow. So sad I have to wait a whole day!!! Arg.

*edit* Here’s the hair:

The picture is a little odd, but it was hard to get any other angle, i will try to get a front picture some other time… and my hair is really that color :)
