So I recently started a new job. I work at one of the big name craft stores (not the icky one with the birth control BS) and I love it. Every time I go to work I get ogle all the goodies and it's an actual job requirement that I talk to people about their projects, for as long as it reasonably takes to get them the things they need to complete it...it's heaven, I should have done this years ago. Everything is so much better when work doesn't make you want to pull all your hair out and stuff it in your ears.

I've been making stuff but getting the time to get it up in the shop has been a little harder to find, I need a minion who likes that part so I can focus on the making, the making is way more fun. But I'm working on it, and a bunch of other things because I will never not have a billion projects in varying stages of completion. Here's some of the finished ones.

 this is something I actually made for myself, rare but every now and again I decided I need pretty things.
Needle felted bear, woven trees, watercolor for both the fabric layer (with the big cut out circle and the trees) and a painting for the background of the piece. The grass is an old wool sweater eaten in the wash, and french knot leaves. This was my momma's birthday present (one of them).

 I was browsing pinterest and my sister had pinned a really cool illustration from Alice in Wonderland and it inspired these lovely ladies. The large rose went on to become a shadowbox for my sister's birthday. A picture of which I cannot for the life of me locate.




 My newest crochet pattern in the shop.


 These ones aren't in the shop just yet, but for future readers they will be.


 These are in the shop singly or as a set.



 More moths, the Saltmarsh
 Also a future pattern.
