these were a custom order, but i thought why not put them up in the shop!

sea green gloves

clip craze!!

so i have also been going clip crazy. i really like them and i just can't get enough! i wear these suckers all the time.... so i have been making them in bulk even though i have only had a few orders for them. i think i will get rid of them easily at fairs this spring/summer. i am thinking of applying for renegade in LA?!?! kind of excited about it ! remember the renegade brooklyn from june?

i also need to work on getting better pics of them being worn...

coasters!

here are some coasters i threw together the other day for my new place. i never really understood coasters, but my last table got a little messed up with a couple of water rings. SO, now i see the point of coasters! we will now be coaster users in the sparks house.

here is the pattern, if you would like to try your hand at making some.

handmade christmas '09

we had a great christmas this year! it was a tad stressful, with the big move looming, but it was enjoyable. we got to see family and relax a little. i have some great pictures to share, but i probably won't get those up until the move. here is one, however that my cousin jordan took at the white family christmas party! i heart Polaroids.


i didn't have as much time this year to make handmade gifts. bryan and i had grand plans of making puzzles on the laser cutter, but after a day full of mishaps, we ditched that idea. maybe next year! i did get a little bag of farm animal finger puppets for peny and her cousins! i thought they could play with them in church, or use them to sing old macdonald had a farm... e-i-e-i-o. here they are... i know they look a little like aliens...

more new things..

more new things....

spark!

it has been a while since i went to spark and did a little show and telling! i was SO sad that i wasn't able to stay for saturday's events (i had to get everything going for the bijou market,) but from what i experienced on friday it was a truly great happening. i met so many great artists! the ladies in charge really did an amazing job making each activity creative and fun, they put so much work into it and i am excited to see the future of the event.

the swag bag was full of wonderful freebies! new scissors and papers and stamps and so much more.

here are some pictures of the set up and my table.
