"Arrested Development" and Hedgehog First Look




Sunday night is drawing to a close; time to gear up for big Monday packing and shipping day. I normally would have everything ready to drop off at the post office, but I need the shipping boxes that are scheduled for delivery tomorrow. All of my weekend orders are lined up and ready to be boxed.

Last night we finished the last DVD of Arrested Development, season 3. I'm in love with that show! I just discovered it on Netflix a couple of weeks ago (I'd rather watch TV series than movies; we don't have cable, so we can't watch TV the "normal" way). I'm so sad that only three seasons were made. Its one of those DVDs I'd love to own; I could watch the whole series over again. I'm sure there were lots of funny lines I didn't catch the first time!

I'm trying to work out some new designs for my wristlet purses and book bags. The other day I put together a chocolate ice cream cone, but I've been having trouble trying to figure out what critter to put with it. I tried and rejected a panda bear, then settled on a hedgehog. Pink Kitty, my faux shop cat, models the new wristlet above. It should be on sale in my Etsy shop later this week.

Minty! Minty!


I'm going to start this blog off in the middle of things. . .


Mint green is the color of the day. I was in JoAnn Fabrics, wandering around looking for inspiration, and found some mint green/sea green gemstones that I fell in love with. I even carried them around the store with me. But I'm not a jeweler -- I'm a midas when it comes to that, and I hate everything I make for myself -- so I put the gems back with the intention of just buying an oceanic necklace from a fellow Etsy artist sometime before summer. But I did make this mint green squirrel cupcake wristlet purse, and I so like it that I'm going to order more mint green wool felt!
