The aftermath

Well, I FINALLY got my google analytics set up, but since my luck isn't always the best, I didn't get it up fixed in time for the 24 hour grace period before it starts working :(. So I don't get to see how many hits I got from TNT last night, but I think it went fairly well.

So far, this weekend is going to be pretty packed for me. My nephew will be having t-ball games in San Diego (about a 45min to hour drive for me) every Saturday, so that's where I will be Saturday morning, then I'm going to swing by the gem mall down there... my heaven... and the rest of the day will be spent in my craft room.


As I posted earlier, I have 2 replica dresses to make, one new style and I did an awesome trade with
DukDesigns on etsy for 2 necklaces and a bracelet for this bag :). I can't wait to get it and send hers off! Yay!

Sunday is the Paws In The Park 2009 charity walk for the Escondido Humane Society. Roxy and I will be helping out as much as we can. So far we have raised $100 :). Please check out our page support us here.

New dress

Well, I've been practicing my shirt recon on some ugly shirts laying around the house and finally went searching for some cool ones. I found this shirt at a store and it was marked down because the print on both sides was supposed to be the same, but the back kinda got bunched up during printing and it looks like it has streaks going through the design... I personally thought it was awesome and bought one for myself. I posted it on DIYScene.com and got some good feedback and am actually doing a swap for a replica with Karla from HeartSizedCrush and Kim from PoisonedCreations. Check out their etsy stores!! They have amazing stuffs! Here is the dress I made.






Challenge

I did a challenge on DIYScene.com for a little motivation to get back into making stuff for my shop. I won! I made 10 pairs of earrings, 6 necklaces, 2 rings and a bracelet. Woot!

Hawaii!!!

So I got back from Hawaii last week. I had a BLAST! It was mostly for a work conference, so I got to put a lot of faces to names that I have been working with during this past year. There aren't many people who do my job in the Marine Corps, so when I met a lot of them, I really saw that it's a nice, tight knit community and I love being a part of it. I did a lot of partying and drinking while I was there with those people and I wish I could re-live every second of it. If you dare to take a look at the pictures, they are all posted here. Good luck, there are about 250 of them posted.

In a hurry

I hate doing things at the last minute, but I can't help myself, lol. I still haven't packed and I leave to Hawaii in less than 2 days. I have to clean my house, clean my car, buy food and toys for my doggie, and pack. I'm not excited.

RECON!



So I got a sewing machine for my bday and put it to work.

I can't wait to find more to recon... my seams are getting a little more straight everyday, but until I'm happy with them, I won't be selling these. If any of the DIYScene members like any of my dresses, I'm willing to trade :)

BIRTHDAY SALE!

I forgot to post this here, but since Friday afternoon, everything is 50% off in my etsy shop (link is on the right) and free shipping for DIYScene members!
