Better photos of my boots + new etsy listing

Today I went outside to take some pictures in natural light. Here are those boots I talked about a few posts ago. Hot, huh?







And I just put some new crazy cool vintage pumps in my etsy shop.

3 things

1.) Have you entered my Hello Kitty Giveaway yet? If not, go here! I'm giving away HK for MAC nail polish, a cute little HK notebook and a cute HK ruler!

2.) Here are a couple sweet Michael Jackson remixes I stumbled on today:

3. Here are some recent additions to my etsy shop

I hope everyone has a good weekend!

Polygnome Featured on Fantabulously Frugal

Yay! So one of my favorite blogs, Fantabulously Frugal has featured my etsy shop for Etsy Monday. It's my first interview-style feature.

Lisa of FF posts all kinds of awesome sales and great deals on her blog, so you should definitely check her out if you like to save money.

ugh

It's too fucking hot. all the blinds and shades in my house are drawn in an attempt to block out the heat. By the time I woke up it was already 81 degrees inside (and that's just the temp downstairs, my room is upstairs). Anyway, I went outside to take some pictures of my new scrunchies I made. It's way too hot outside, but the natural light was a good thing.



I'm proud of my computer for withstanding this heat. But I need to go bathe in ice cubes or something now. Ciao!

new items!

I've finally gotten around to photographing and listing a few new items in my etsy shop. Also, relisted my favorite clutch, the "I didn't know when to stop" clutch!

Blue and Chartreuse Ruffled Clutch






Vintage Men's Lambswool Tie




Vintage Men's Red Silk Tie with Tiny Owls




I Didn't Know When to Stop Clutch


Also, don't forget that my giveaway [for the clutch below] ends this Sunday! Go here to enter. I totally appreciate those of you who've entered already and have been spreading the word! Thanks!

Finally made this ...

So I have had this in my mind for months now, and finally got down to actually making it. It's a case to hold your tampons. And it's shaped like a tampon. Simple idea, and I made it have a cute face so it's extra cute and creepy. Look at that expression! The flushed cheeks! Would work for as a pencil case or for makeup brushes too. The zipper pull is the string. Hahaha, gross.

Anyway, will list this soon, but etsy is down at the moment so you're getting a preview:

Also have some more ideas for bloodier versions of this. I thought I'd start off on the safe side though! (:

oh PS, I googled "tampon" just to see what would come up, and I found this crazy tampon craft website. There is a tampon toupee tutorial. Seriously!

Lay it Down

Lately I've been kind of in a slump. My brain has not been working like it should and I wanted to sew some more clutches, but I couldn't do it. I tried making ruffles (easy!) and was an epic fail.

FINALLY my head cleared. And yesterday I made THREE new clutches. I'm very happy with them, and my favorite is the yacht clutch because it's so Blair Waldorf prepster.

Here are my latest creations!




Old Money Yacht clutch made with an upcycled turnlock clasp, old charms, beads, costume jewelry, vintage fabric and new white/navy chain fabric.

Engrish T-Shirt Clutch. I made this from a shirt I got in Japan but didn't really fit me. Made from recycled materials so it's eco-friendly (only the snaps and thread aren't). Check out the description I made for it on its etsy page too. Haha. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26282954





Family Candy Jewels Clutch. I had this idea to use felt candies on a clutch and I really like how it turned out. I am enjoying this odd combination of colors. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26283907

Insomnia-driven crafting

I haven't gone to bed yet. I made some things last night/this morning. All the rings are 5 bucks, so buy buy buy plz. k, thx (:







Not even going to post pictures of everything I listed this morning. Toooo tired!

Good night!

Today's the last day to enter my Hello Kitty Giveaway! Tomorrow I will announce the winner. Haven't decided if I will use random.org or what yet, but I promise it'll be fair (: And thank you to all who entered so far! I'm so happy with how many entries I've gotten and welcome all you new readers who find my blog via the giveaway!

In other kawaii news, I just listed some adorable aprons I made. Anyone need a fun apron for summer cookouts? Or an excuse to learn how to cook?

100th Post!!!

So I keep hitting these milestones and I feel like I should be posting something more exciting, but you're just going to have to deal with the fact that I am boring.

My parents went down to Oregon to visit my grandparents. I haven't had the house to myself in a long time! I'm kind of excited about it, but I don't know what to do with myself. My plan was to do some sewing and watch crappy free OnDemand movies. I think I'll clean up my room a bit, do some laundry, and do some etsy stuff.

I decorated these shoes and put them on etsy today. They're kind of ridiculous and I like it.

Happy Saturday!

Yay I have 50 followers!

Kinda excited for my new readers and excited that I am doing the hello kitty giveaway because I suspect that is how some of you n00bz found me.

gross, I just typed "noobz"

Anyway! I appreciate all the thoughtful comments on my previous post about my ex. It's old news, just something that hits me every now and then. I cheered myself up today though because I took pictures of myself (one of my fave hobbies) wearing a vintage green cocktail dress I am selling on my etsy shop!

And I found this way too cute owl cookie jar!






It's 80 degrees here. I live in WA. WTF. Happy Weekend!
