Robots

These are robots. :) I made them. I like them a lot! The following is a conversation between me and my husband.

Marco: "They're really cute. But, why did you give the girl robot a 'slot'?"

Sara: *offended* "What!? She doesn't have a slot! She is supposed to be a cassette player!"

Marco: "Well, she has a slot."

Sara: *after contemplation* "Dang it. She has a slot. I should probably re-make her. Kid's toys just shouldn't be sexual. Look at Barbie. She doesn't have anything going on down there. Just smooth plastic."

Therefore; updated girl robot coming soon. :)

The evening sun and wind chimes...

I bought this wind chime the other day for five bucks. I thought it was so cool because it was made of forks and spoons and other kitchen ware. So I hung it on my deck. The last few nights, I have looked out the window when the evening sun is bright and low and my wind chime looks so beautiful. It sparkles and bounces light in so many places. I just wanted to share it!






This one I got for free at a yard sale. It looks pretty too and it didn't want to be left out. :)

So, I'm sitting here wondering why they put white carpet in apartments. Really...it gets dirty so easily.

My husband is sitting behind me at the dining room table looking at a Metroid guide he bought online and humming a Demon Hunter song. Hehe :) Okay....now he's straight up singing it out loud in an operatic voice. ^_^ I love him. He helped me today with my Etsy shop and with putting an "Etsy tab" in my facebook page that takes viewers directly to my shop. How cool! I need to learn more about the technical side of starting a small business. I just like to make pretty things.

I think I'm gonna go make some more wallets now. :)

Here comes the sun...do di do do.

Sunshine = motivation! Since the sun has come out, I have been more inspired to make pretty things! :) Wallets, new business cards, updates to my shop and facebook. Man, I need the sun!
Snow, you've been cool for a while, but I think this relationship needs to end. Maybe we can get back together next year.

So I'm trying to come up with a sweet logo for my little crafty shop. I've been trying so hard to do something in photoshop, and it frustrates me so much because my photoshop skills are certainly lacking! So yesterday I pulled out the old fashioned pencil and paper. And I forgot how much I like to draw! It's so much fun! So when you see my cute logo, it will probably be drawn by me, scanned and maybe photoshopped just a little to make it look all clean and spiffy. ^_^ Yay for drawing!

Sparkly white Christmas tree

I have a white Christmas tree this year. It's so pretty. My grandmother always had a white tree, and having it takes me back to all those Christmases at her house. Our family would get together, eat lots of yummy food, open presents, and hangout with each other long into the evening.
For Christmas this year (and every year just about) I'm making alot of my gifts. I always think I'll have no problem making everything and think I'll have plenty of time, only to find myself freaking out around the last week before Christmas. Last year I neglected to give my brother and his wife their gifts...I still have yet to make those gifts. But this year I'm doing better! I do still have a couple gifts to make, and have only 8 days until Christmas, but I think I will get them finished. Here's to hoping! And since I'm talking about making them instead of actually making them, I'm losing even more time. Oh well! Christmas isn't really about gifts anyway. At least not the kind that we buy, wrap and lay under our sparkly white Christmas trees. It's about Jesus. It's about God's gift to us. And He doesn't really fit under a tree. But He fits just right in my heart. <3

Not important

I have to admit that I think about really stupid stuff most of the time. Right now I'm thinking about how many hours of sleep I'll get if I go home right now, What I'm going to wear tomorrow...if it'll be nice outside again, whether or not my food I just bought at the grocery will be okay in the car until I get home, that maybe my husband would look good if he shaved all his hair (right now he has a mo-hawk) I'm thinking that I need to cut and paint my nails...maybe tomorrow. I want to think about important stuff. You know, things that really matter. I want to do something crazy cool and adventurous. I think it's coming for me. I just don't want to fill my life with things that really aren't important. Things that culture tells us is important. That's what I want.
