Made by Marla: Shoes

Check out these rad shoes! Designed and handcrafted by the talented Marla and gifted to me for Christmas. So freakin' awesome—I am a lucky girl!

 

Christmas Swag

Spent some gift money on extra Christmas swag for the house. I like the result but something about it bothers me too. It's not as refined as I was imagining. We'll keep working it. I think it's the red bows that are making it look dated, or maybe it's because they are hanging UNDER the gutters, hmm. But look how pretty the tree leaves are!

Marbling with Marla

As a gift Marla gave me a marbling class. And I LOVED it. I have always been curious about marbling. Sure, I could go get a YouTube degree, but learning how to do it in-person is always preferable and waaay more satisfying.

Open Craft Night: Apothecary Bottles

Was feeling lonely, so I sent out an open invitation to anyone who wanted to come over and make some Halloween apothecary bottles with me. I had been saving up supplies for over a year. (Four signed up, and two cancelled—story of my life, I am not a popular person, but I keep trying anyway.) 

The idea came from Magia Mia's site.

The bummer situation is that I still have a ton of supplies left. I'm not sure what to do with them. I can't just drop off a bunch of empty pill bottles at the second-hand art supply store....
