Homeowners!

So there you have it!! We had to move in the middle of the school year this year because the house we were renting sold. When we moved into this one, after we knew it was a good house without any huge flaws, we decided to buy. It's a good little house and will work well for us for a year or two. Most of all, no strangers parading in and out on a moment's notice, and no having to move in the middle of the school year while trying to direct a musical. That almost killed me, I tell ya.

We have started bending the yard to our will, and have fixed holes and filled paneling stripes. Next we paint and then tear up the nasty carpet. There's 100 year old hardwood under this carpet!!! Then curtains, some new miniature furniture, and the living room will be done! We are going to turn this house into the cutest little thing!
This is a Unity owl. Love it!

Hello! Is anybody out there?


I'd be surprised if anyone was, seeing as how I've been gone for two months! I thought I might try to get back to my blog now and again. I decided to start with these tiny tags I made using a Basic Grey set my sister gave me. Aren't they cute? I think there are three of the little Matryoshkas, and this is the smallest one. The tags are just some office supply tags I picked up somewhere. I added some beautiful hot fix crystals, which I get at Creative Cuts and More. They come in a wheel dispenser that is chock full of fabulous crystals. Makes me happy just thinking about it!

These tags are in my Etsy shop. Tags seem to do pretty well for me. I am enjoying Etsy, but it is a tremendous amount of work, and expensive. I don't think I'm making a profit, but I'm having fun. I can just ignore it when I don't have time to fiddle with it. That doesn't make for a terribly successful shop, but it's what I can do!
