Fun and Funky Fabric Covered Slap Bracelets

Remember those slap bracelets we all used to have? I’m so bringing them back! I found a great supplier to buy blank bracelets from and then I just simply sew a casing for them using fun and colorful ribbons. I’ve also made some that are reversible.
I’ve given the old, a new look for [...]

Beautiful New Etsy Banners

I have listed (and continue to list) some very beautiful new banners for etsy shops. I have acquired some very nice flower graphics to use. They are so big, bold, and bright that they just pop out at you. I’m only charging $5 each, and each one is only being sold once. That means that [...]

Title? What Title?

How can I possibly think of a title? I don’t even know what I’m blogging about today.
I’m overwhelmed. Working at home requires discipline. Lots of discipline. I know. And lists. And lots of work. I’m already starting to hate when people ask me, “So how was your day off yesterday?” [...]

New Spring Time Etsy Banners

With the opening of Angelalala Designs I’ve been neglecting my original shop just a little bit. My sales definitely decreased as I was not adding much new content at all. I wanted to add something new and fresh. With my anticipation of Spring I thought these banners might do the trick.
New Spring [...]

First sale on Angelalala Designs!

I had my first sale for Angelalala Designs on etsy last night. I’ve been listing some earrings that I made last year in an effort to get something for them since I did not sell all of them at The Heart of Virginia Festival in May. It’s an awesome clearance sale, you should [...]

Sunday Work

I woke up at 7 am this morning. Thanks to Bradley’s alarm clock buzzing. He never remembers to turn it off on the weekends. The kicker - he isn’t even home on the weekends! Russell got up to turn it off and went back to sleep very quickly. I couldn’t so I [...]

The $1 Mystery Box

Ok, a more upbeat post compared to my previous post today. Thank goodness.
I went to Motley’s Emporium after I dropped Zoe off to get some vintage zippers and such. I ended up buying vintage zippers, bias tape, wooden spools of thread, pinking shears, and an old crochet pattern book with some neat patterns - all [...]

Day Two: On the Job

It is a very gray, cold, and gloomy day here in Farmville. It’s not starting off well at all. I was so tired last night that I just stayed on the couch and was lazy after dinner. BIG, no, HUGE mistake! Russell told me he put the food away from dinner and [...]

Back to work today…

Well, I thoroughly enjoyed my day yesterday and I got a lot accomplished. I only sewed one purse though, and I don’t even like it. I found that I was full of energy all day, even through my yawning spell right at dinner time.
It’s back to bar tending today though. Blah! Russell is [...]

My First Day…

I’m getting a pretty slow start. Even with all of my excitement I am just plain tired. Russell is sick with a pretty bad cold. He whines quite a bit when he’s sick, that’s okay, I do too, and he always takes care of me.
I have a bunch of errands to run. [...]
