Last week, for me, it was these earrings. I found them on Etsy, from Misty Dawn Designs.
They're hammered silver, but I have to admit, they're just a wee bit tinier than I'd like. I still love them, and will definitely wear them regularly.
I'd love to hear about any etsy shops you enjoy; there's always room for another on my favorites list!
Before
My sewing corner has long been in need of an improvement. The light in the corner is excellent, but other than the table my sewing machine sits on, I have no open space to work on sewing. I usually end up piecing and pinning on the floor, which is bad for my back, and makes sewing more of a chore than I'd like.
To remedy this, Elliott and I took a trip to Ikea (his first, and most likely, his last for a long time!) to find a workspace.
After: I know the kitties like it!
After looking at several of the options available, I settled on an unfinished top with red legs (to match my awesome red curtains!). It was easy to put together, and only cost about $65. I may finish the surface at some point, but for now it's just what I needed. In hopes that I'll find time to sew soon, I picked up some lovely fabrics in the last month.
First, from Fabricworm, some new Joel Dewberry choices.
Also, just last week from Fabric Shoppe, I bought some Mind's Eye for Riley Blake fat quarters.
Elliott sent me a very sweet gift on Friday. Literally and figuratively. He sent me some Critters from Divine Delights. He knows I love little animals, and they're just so cute! They are petits fours, and there is an assortment of animal shapes (each one is a different flavor). There are kitties (I can't bring myself to eat those!), piggies, frogs, chicks, fishies and moose.
I still have a few left (in the fridge to help them last a bit longer).
