New Stuff!

Ok, so I'm totally excited about my new bows I have been workin' on lately.
My goal this time was to make stinkin' cute stuff that even adults could wear.
Well, I haven't had a life for the past two weeks and I finally took my latest creations to Scrapbooks, Etc. where they are now for sale!!
I gotta tell ya though...
It was unbelievably difficult for me to part with a lot of them.

This is the one I absolutely could not give up and I had to keep for myself:


Did I mention that almost ALL of my new junk is made out of fabric??
I am trying to steer away from ribbon and go for a more sophisticated look.
All of these new bows start at $12 and go up from there just depending on which type/ how much fabric I used.

Remember that special orders are always welcome!
:)

I picked out a few of my favorites so I could share them with you.
Let me know what you think!







This is one is made with houndstooth patterned wool felt:








These are a few of the headbands:



There are tons more at Scrapbooks, Etc. that aren't pictured here so be sure to check them out!!

I also have a new litte addition to my life..
I got a new fish.
:)

My cute friend Alex helped me pick out my fish and after a huge OCD moment from Jenaye, we settled on this one.
His name is
Jimmy Blue Fin
and he is kinda the new love of my life at the moment.
Pathetic, right?
Anyways.. when we bought him, he totally looked blue.
But when we put him in his tank at home, he is definitely a purple fish.
That blue water PetSmart keeps them in is not helpful whatsoever...
So no, I am not colorblind... I just couldn't possibly change the little guy's name after I had already named him.
He is just gonna have to live his life as a purple fish with "blue" in his name.
:)

Goodbye

You were such a great fish
and an even better friend.
I will miss you..
but I won't miss cleaning your tank on a weekly basis.
I enjoyed the five months we shared together
and I will never forget you.

Alright, so I know that was a bit sarcastic,
but the death of my fish was honestly kinda hard for me.
I was pretty much obsessed with that thing! haha.

This tragic event really got me thinkin' about my dad.
Weird, I know.. but let me explain.

When I realized my fish had died,
the first thing I did was told my dad.
It was funny to me that my dad could actually tell how upset I was.
"Awww Suzi, how did he die?? What happened??"
I told him that there was no possible way I could flush my own fish so being the hero he is, he offered to do it for me.

And right there, it hit me:
I am 19 years old and it is amazing to me how much I still depend on my dad.
With Father's Day quickly approaching,
this is my shout out to my Dad.
He is my best friend next to my mom and I am so incredibly lucky to have such awesome parents.

So Dad, thank you for flushing my fish, for being my internet "surfing" partner on our laptops while watching tv, for fixing my flat tire that one time I ran over a curb (oops), for "tipping" me when I run errands for you, for always cooking my dinner separately in an attempt to keep mine as plain and spice-free as possible, for constantly making me laugh with your extrememly lame jokes, for letting mom and I take over the house with our scrapbook stuff, and for loving me no matter what. Like when I can't flush my own dead fish at the age of 19, or when I run over curbs, or because of the fact that I'm so stinkin' picky with my food, or for burying your stuff underneath cardstock and ribbon.

I love you Daddy-O.
Happy Father's Day

Oh say, can you see.....

I have finally made a few 4th of July bows after receiving some requests for them!



I will be bringing them to Scrapbooks, Etc. tomorrow morning to put up for sale. They range in price just depending on how much/which type of ribbon was used.

I will hopefully get in a better habit of blogging here in the near future. But like always.. I'm not promising anything! ha

Have a great week!

Peace Girls!
