what i've been working on...

Sometimes I sort of get in these creating spurts - much like I believe a mad scientist would be on the verge of a breakthrough and lock himself in his laboratory for days on end without surfacing - and I just seem to have so many ideas, but worry I don't have enough time to bring them all to fruition, or that I'll lose the ideas before I get to start them! Anyway, here's a peek at what I've been up to the last few days...

Something else I've had on my list is resin casting. There are wildflowers (and pretty weeds) growing in the fields, and I've been meaning to pick some of them to preserve in resin and use for pendants. I also have several things that need to be drilled, but, call me crazy, after the whole hole through the finger thing, I don't really like to drill by myself just in case something happens, and Chris has been pretty busy. I really should get over my fear, but I don't want to get hurt...again!

This may be the most exciting bit of news I have to share... I FINALLY UPLOADED MY WEBSITE! I told myself that I would have it finished and uploaded by the first of this week, and with all the swimming I've been doing, I was starting to think I wouldn't make my deadline, but I did! So, if you're not a member of etsy, or you are and just don't like it, you can still purchase a little piece of dinosaur toes! Check it out, and let me know what you think!

What have you been working on lately? Do you have any pictures of your projects?

    i get in crafting frenzies, too! and since i live in such a small space, and insist on being surrounded by all my creative-inducing materials, i always end up making a huge mess while i'm at it. but it's just so fun!

    thanks so much for the positive feedback! you make me feel all important now!

    angelina, my craft room is pretty small, so it's usually in a constant state of chaos, but that kind of how i like it ;)

    brittan, yep i did it by myself (i do web design freelance when people need it).

    I seriously just fell in love with that necklace {last photo}.
    your website is phenomenal! I love everything about it; the font, your super cute Add To Cart bar code button, the little tape accents.
    Are those hammered brass heart earrings? I am jealous of whoever bought them!
