Love Love Love!

When I saw this on Etsy the other day, my heart just melted:

Cashmere Sleepy Pocket Bunny by asherjasper

I've always wanted to try needle felting, and examples like this just make it look like so much fun!  The first thing that popped into my mind when I saw that adorable belly button was this:

Woman (Venus) of Willendorf

22,000-21,000 BCE

4.3 in high

because of course that's what my art history brain is apt to do as they are roughly the same size, and share a super cuddly tactile qualiity!

Bunny tushie!



Super soft sleep buddy, indeed!

All for now,

Treasury Time!

A new treasury, this time for TeamBacon, which I am proud to announce I am now a card carrying member!  Actually, there's not really a card, but here's the treasury!



Enjoy!

I recently was asked to join the Vintage Jewelry Sellers on Etsy (VJSE Team), and have been thrilled to join forces with such a great group.  Not only are they nice, but their jewelry is to die for!  This morning I created a treasury of beautiful offerings from VJSE sellers, check it out!




Enjoy!

All for now,

I just found this cool widget from Craftcult that lets you put Etsy Treasuries in your blog, so I couldn't resist!

This one is called Wreath, Deconstructed...



Yea!

Giving Thanks

Can you believe Thanksgiving is next week? 

I'm really looking forward to getting together with my wonderful family!  I have the best in-laws ever!  Not only did they accept me as one of their own the moment I met them, but they also welcomed my parents with open arms.  As an only child, that means so much to me.  My husband and I never have to alternate holidays between the two families, and I never have to worry about my parents being on their own.  I'm so lucky to be part of a close-knit, fun, loving group of people!  Mushy, I know, but I love 'em.  No wonder my husband is such a good man!

I'm also grateful for the amazing teachers that have helped the Little Nugget be the smart, sweet, funny, giggly, ornery Monkey that WE knew she was, but nobody else ever got to see.  Earlier this spring, she was diagnosed on the Spectrum, and the early intervention she's received as a result has made a world of difference.  For the first time since she was born, I am looking forward to a Christmas in which she's an excited, engaged participant, able to play and interact with her cousins, and experience the pure childhood joy of Santa Claus, Christmas carols, over-the-top holiday displays, and opening gifts!  This is going to awesome!

What are you thankful for?

I was SOOO drawn to these beads when I saw them in a thrift shop! 

Such a gorgeous shade of faded lemon yellow, clearly they had some age to them and I couldn't wait to use them in one of my pieces!!!

Fall Harvest earrings by Nuggets of Goodness on Etsy

Looks like I'm not the only one who appreciated the luscious lemony goodness!  Since these earrings have gone into my Etsy store, they've been featured in three lovely treasuries!  I am honored to be a part of these beautiful collections!

Check them out, and be sure to visit these great shops!
