Favorite Color........hint it isn't black..

This is for the etsybloggers blog carnival for the month of September....(I am trying to make sure I follow all of the rules). We were supposed to write pick a favorite color, and show it in your work so here goes nothing..


Oh I love silver! I wish I could use it more or wear it more but I do not think dresses in silver or tops are really very tame for the workplace. I would have to say that is my favorite. People that know me would say that Black is my favorite color because well I almost wear it everyday.

Here is my silver purse I got for my b-day.. I <3 it so much!


In my work which is hand embroidery I have only found some sparkly silver with black thread from Sublime Stitching. The other silver thread from Joann's has a tendency to snag and then split when washed. I would use it much more often if it actually stayed together.






I do like to use a lot of blue and greens together in my work as well.



Going through my flickr pics I would say white is used the most often. I guess cause it is easy to see and stitch on and maybe cause it can be gender neutral??

WIP..House

We are going green! Dan got a great deal at work ( his home depot in clearwater is having a sale on flooring) We got 16 cases of bamboo to do the 2 guest bedrooms. We got home last night 8pm and decided to move all of the stuff out of the one bedroom and pull up all of the NASTY blue carpet and cut it and get rid of it. I am pretty sure no one would want our carpet even through freecycle...SUPER GROSS! I am so glad we are getting rid of it.

bookshelves in the kitchen..Isn't this where all bookshelves belong?
The craft room/office FULL of stuff.
Dan pulling up carpet, I was photo editor and carpet cutter.
no more icky carpet.....thank goodness.

Dan is taking me to George Michael this Saturday night for my b-day ( so excited!) I am hoping if we can borrow someones saw we can get it done on Sunday. Busy weekend.

Dan had gotten this for our bathroom ( we still need to put tile down here) and it was $150 originally and we got it for $25. I taped a piece of cool wrapping paper and viola! New cool cabinet.

Green Bibs

In my search for "Green" things I found some pretty cute ideas for bibs and clothes. I adapted them and made some bibs. The next step will be to find bibs at vintage stores and repurpose them and/or find an organic supplier.

Dan and I are working on project this weekend. I will have more posted about that once we have finalized it more...

Bibs available at my etsy store. On a side note I hope the economy turns around soon. There is too much bad stuff going on everyday. One of the good things about a tough economy is that people are using a lot less because the cost of everything is prohibitive...

I have a big order to finish this weekend. There is always another bill to pay.




The iHug and the iRecycle bibs used the same font as iPod's do so they are a funny take on that for the techno savvy greenie.
