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....

the super thick headband/earwarmer...this one was a custom job, but they are so sticking popular, i am planning on selling these in the shop too when i reopen.

another hair clip. i made a handful of these for myleka for helping out with p while we were in san diego...i thought i would keep one myself...he he! these will be in the shop when i reopen!

a little this and a little that

here are some pics of some new things that i have made. i am definitely putting the hair clips, baby hat and thicker ear warmers up in the shop when i re open it in january.

BEEHIVE WINTER 2009

come check out a great craft show! buy your christmas goodies and all!

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.

i heart the it crowd

the it crowd is the greatest show!!! i love it. every time i watch it i lough so hard that i cry. it is about a socially awkward I.T. department for a brittish company. it can be watched on netflix if you are a member. you can find some golden clips at you tube. like the "This, Jen, is the internet." clip. chris and myleka introduced us to this show and i am so happy they did.

watch it. it is worth it.
