Wednesday, November 16, 2005. Last week at class the only thing I managed to finish was this pair of earrings- and just the wire part. How lame! It didn't take very long, I'm not sure what I'm doing the rest of the time. I added the beads when I came home. They might be a present but I'm not sure if she'd wear it. We'll see if I get more done tomorrow night. Posted by Susanne at 9:48 PM. Monday, November 14, 2005. Practicing for Thanksgiving.sort of. Mostly I'm referring to the bird in the tree. The ...

Tuesday, February 28, 2006. Can i get a veggie around here? I'm in fort worthless right now ending a week of starch, meat and a complete lack of fiber and vitamins.

This is a really cool store with a handcrafted focus.all vegan.which is interesting! Free clutch purse pattern: kwiksew clutch. I'm totally obsessed with all things sewing right now. Let me know i...

Tuesday, January 24, 2006. Super belated holiday greetings! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season- we're still enjoying it with our undying tinsel Christmas tree (which oddly sheds its "needles"). On a side note, why do manufacturers make the top branch of a fake tree so disproportionately long? The only crafting I've done this season are two sweater ornaments from Last Minute Knitted Gifts. Posted by Susanne at 8:14 PM. And the Amy Ruppel Print is so gorgeous. Aren't her prints really hard to...

Tuesday, November 01, 2005. Breaking up the pink. Just a little something to break up all the pink/red tones I've been posting recently. It's like a glass flower cameo bead thing I got on Maui. I debated what to do with it and thought about a pendant but that was a little boring, so was setting on a ring the long way. Turns out it looks like a platter on my finger when I put it on. Posted by Susanne at 10:54 PM. From this angle it reminds me of a mossy, craggy rock face of some kind. And the winner is.

Monday, February 13, 2006. A few weeks ago I managed to get off my lazy behind and jump into this swap:. Ohhhhh, fun cyberlove from other crafty gals! Racy Today was the deadline to send out the package and I juuuuuust made it. Pretty lame of me because I work IN THE POST OFFICE BUILDING (not to yell or anything). I just hope Susan. Likes what I picked out. It should be making its way around the world to Kuwait, hope it doesn't take too too long. By the way, happy uncommercial Valentine's Day!

Tuesday, December 06, 2005. Hope everyone had a terrific Thanksgiving- we did! Fun times in sunny (and semi-chilly) SoCal- the OC to be exact. Got to visit the super cuddly, super adorable, super spit-uppy nephew! My favorite was when he spit up, rubbed his face in it and laughed- how did he know? As part of our thank you to our wonderful welcoming hosts (nephew and parents) I made Spherey from Jess Hutch's. Cute and kooky knitted toy book. Finally! Spherey likes to hang out with his jabong. I love his c...

Tuesday, January 24, 2006. My semi-failed experiment. I originally intended to attempt to make ichigo daifuku. Or strawberry rice cake (strawberry surrounded by an (sweet red bean paste) covered with sweetened mochi (rice cake) but when I went to the supermarket blackberries were on sale- straw berry. Look at the super fantastic stamps that are on sale. At the Post Office! I'm not very familiar with Maisy and Olivia but the others- favorites! And I thought the Muppet* stamps were the bee's knees. Even th...

Monday, November 14, 2005. Practicing for Thanksgiving.sort of. Recently I've been carving up some lino/rubber/silicon block thingamabobbers to make my own stamps. It's like taking a ride on an emotional kiddie rollercoaster- ridiculous, but that's me. Starting out I'm giddy, so full of hope and then those feelings come tumbling down when I realize- I carved too much here, there, everywhere. NUTS! Posted by Susanne at 8:10 PM. I think the stamps came out great, even the alien bird! Grouchyfrog AT gmail D...
