star wand

I had a request from a repeat customer! Thanks M. I was joking that I was her personal etsy shop. that's her hand BTW. Now you're famous. :}

So at 5:30 this morning (cause my sleep schedule is so messed up. WHen you go to bed at 8:30, 2:30am is 6 hours later and then last night, 10 pm and 5:30 am wake up time.) I made this wand. It pretty much was what was in my head. I decided not to trim them to make it equal as I liked the dual colours.


Apologies for the poor photo quality. It's the little digital instead of the nice big one I've grown to love.

I just felt an earthquake. did you feel it where you are? They said it was felt from Buffalo to Ottawa. Have to find out where there centre was. Interesting..... Last time i felt an earthquake, I was in Nova Scotia and the quake was in Montreal area. Big area.

thanks for looking,

Sewing outside

I need to sew everyday until Friday. Friday is the school fun fair. The fun fair where I innocently said 4 months ago.."Oh, you should have tables for vendors" Yep, I'm now in charge of it and on the committee. Like big time!!!

Today, I had a choice, drag the kids to the attic or bring the sewing machine outside. We all voted for outside. Fortunately, I spent last night cutting out little circles for my magic flower wands. (oops, forgot to take a pic of those, look on the table, they are in progress)


Then I brought down some pompom skirts. The kids were playing nicely in the yard...


But ultimately, they can't be too far away from mama...


Don't mind the hair.. oh my hair!! What is happening to it? Ever since last summer, it is heavily affected by the humidity. It was all one length except for the bangs. They would curl up and make wings. And not in a nice way. So this time, the hairdresser thought he would layer it so it could be "free" and it could do what it wanted in the humidity. yip, not so sure about that. I dried it straight this morning. A bike ride on the beach this morning had a different effect. Ok, too much information. But does anyone else have hair that has just changed? What to do what to do? lol

thanks for looking,
