The always lovely RikRak has just posted the sweetest feature about my crafty goodies! Visit her blog to see the feature and join in the giveaway to WIN a set of Mustache Hankies!
Check it out here-------> Rikrak Studio



As part of the feature I got to come up with a fun playlist. I had to choose a theme and then compile something juicy to listen too. Well of course it had to be about Roadtrips! I love making playlists for roadtrips.... otherwise I get stuck listening to my boyfriend's favourite roadtrip tunage... Paul Simon! Yucky! I'm just not down with Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard. Check out my Road Trip Mix Tape Playlist at RikRak and add your own Road trip tunes in the comments for a chance to win some hankies!

Shark Attack!

Today I decided to watch Paranormal Activity while ironing away and making some hankies for an upcoming show. Now, there's No Way I would have every watched it in the normal movie watching surroundings... late at night... lights off... quite house... Forget it... I've totally accepted my fears and watching spooky demon flicks that make people cry is just going to work toooo well on me. I won't sleep for the next year... So anyways... yeah... with all the buzz i still couldn't resist. So i waited for a beautiful sunny day and I had lots to do so that i couldn't put all my attention into it... it was great.

So my top 5 fears. Where or not i can ever avoid them... Here they are:
1) SHARKS! Even in swimming pools... sharks hide in the deep end.
2) Scary Demon Movies (unless they are amazingly funny like the Italian Classic... Demons)
3) Low Heights... Standing on a ladder on the third rung is killer!
4) Mice.... my my kitty Nico has been earning his keep by taking care of those.
5) Wearing a skirt on a windy day and it flying over my head (just happened last saturday)

In dedication of my number one fear I don't these very cool... not so scary... limited edition... Shark Nesting Eggs by artist Hally McGehean.

New Totes!

Here's a few pics of some of my new totes that i'll be selling on Etsy soon!

I got my first stash of American Apparel totes last friday and ever since then I've been dreaming and sketching out all kinds of ideas for my new totes!

More to come!

Etsy Finds : Furry Forest Friends

Maybe I'm just all about cutey patootie animals these days because my friends just got two beautiful orange kittens. Maybe it's cuz i'm always a sucker for Bambi and Thumper and The Fox and The Hound...

These three Etsy finds warm my heart with that woodlandy, green-foresty, innocence of life feeling. They're all so precious.

***I love Love LOVE the name of this etsy seller! There's nothing much better than sunshine and ravioli!

Before I die...

What do you want to do before you want to die? I'm not really sure what i would definitively want to do before i die.... but let me take a few shots here.

Before I die i want to...
1) Perfect my own risotto recipe.
2) Live through a foot massage without dying of laughter.
3) Figure out how to regularly stay on the "glass is half full" side of life.

Check out Before I Die I Want To to see a bunch of polaroid portraits with handwritten notes of what the subjects want to do before they die. There's a great selection of people from the US and India.
