soon to be etsy goodies...

tonight cutie is away so i decided to do something to surprise him... i decided to be a domesticated wifey and do the laundry i was thinking of maybe doing the dishes, but i didn't want him to have a heart attack- so those can wait... :)

before i decided to be wifey- i tried taking some new pics for my Beaton Branson Etsy shop. unfortunately- the lighting in our mini- apartment is the pits! we have 1 major light source- everything else are little lamps. i will have to get some pictures done on the weekend. i really need to get a move on my little shoppy-shop- poor thing has been a ghost town and has been completely neglected. here is a pic of some shoes that i will be putting up... and a dress that i attempted to take pics of- but didn't quite finish due to the lighting. these will be put up by Friday night or Saturday morning.

vintage Trotter Leather Weaved Oxfords - size 10 - $22

vintage R&K Knits- For Girl Who Knows Clothes- M/L - $25

it actually says that on the tag- thought that was kind of cute- for the girl who knows clothes, hehe. :) i still need to take more detailed pics- but here it is with a little close up of a little snag above the 2nd button (pic on the right). well- that's it for the quick post- my little baby zins are growing splendidly since the last pic below! :) hope everyone has a wonderful friday!

crafty time! :)

well, i've been neglecting my bloggy again... of course... but well, thats nothing new, right? well, here's a little project i've been working on. my friend hollie had been working on some hair ribbons and the next day, complete by chance- i came across some a very intereseting pics of a super cute headband. me, being me, decided, "i can do that!" and to my surprise... i actually did! aheheehe! i think seeing hollie work on her stuff kind of inspired me to actually get off me bum and do something- so, even though you dno't read my blog- thank you hollie! :)

obviously, this isn't eactly the same that i saw on line- but it's a version of... one that i like very much- heehe. :) i had everything around the house, so there was no money wasted- which was also good for me- as i'm on somewhat of a budge and am trying to use what i have at home before buying anything else for my crafts. the little danglies and the detail on the little discs are actually all fresh water pearls that i had left over from a beading class that my wallet got very enthusiastic for a couple of years ago... ehehhee.

tonight or tmrw morning i will finish the headband- what i have up on the pic is only the little discs pinned to teh velevet and lace band that i made. i still need to sew them on. beading sounds very granny, but it was actually pretty fun beading the little pearl pattern onto the discs. :) i already have some more ideas for some more head pieces- who knew i'd spend my time making hair pieces! bah! ehehhehe. this weekend too- i might.. juuuuuuuuust might actaully start on my dress for wisco. i want to wear the headpiece with a nice, simple lace dress- it will be summer, so i think it will be appropriate. :)

yippee! :)
