I set up to do a little photo shoot this morning, and decided to also try to take some of those artsy tool still-life photos for my shop pages. I did a bit of sprucing up on my Etsy About pages if you want to check them out here and here!

new in the shop: moon and stars clock
I am really pleased with how this new idea turned out. The stars hanging down kill me. Find it here in the shop!
new in the shop: flower girls
These cards blend my love of drawing with my inner hair stylist. I really enjoyed using the different stitches to make the hair textures. Find them now in the shop!
Now I just need to find a flower crown that I can wear around all day.
new in the shop: panda and mouse
Some new animal friends for ya! A shy little panda, and a curious mouse. I love the grey and pink combo of the mouse for Valentine’s! Find them both in the shop!
new in the shop: bunny and penguin
A couple bright new friends in the shop this week! A purple bunny, and a blue penguin.

I have a couple brand new animals coming in the next couple days, too!
chocolate chip and cherry cookies
If I am in the middle of a project, and it isn’t going well, I have a tendency to jump into a pit of despair pretty quickly. Yesterday I was on the edge of that pit, but then I thought to myself: hey, you are still good at making cookies. So make cookies is what I did.
Chocolate and cherry is a good combo for Valentine’s day, since cherries are red and feel more festive. I loosely followed this recipe, and without the annoying chilling the dough overnight part. These would be the kind of cookie you could package up and give out for happy heart day presents.
The cherry heart gift tags are a new creation of mine. You can find the kits in my shop!
happy new year cards
According to the internet, we were probably supposed to get some adorable professional photos taken for Christmas for our newlywed year. And then we were supposed to send out a sweet holiday card to everyone that would arrive the week before. But instead, we spent the most of December attending parties, and then skipped town. No regrets.
But I do love a good Christmas card. And I know that I can only use wedding photos for so long before other people get tired of them. Solution: happy new year cards
I made them in similar style to our wedding invites, and used one of my favorite photos from our wedding. I love them, so I hope our family is happy to see them in the mail soon! I will have a slightly similar pattern of card available in my etsy shop soon!

new in the shop: cactus cards
In the midst of the cold winter, let the cute cactus cards remind you that the sun is coming! A set of 3 cactus cards is new in the shop this week. A quick, fun craft for chilly evenings.

couple of new faces
Finished up this rowdy crew yesterday. You can find them in the shop now!

Tis the season for giving! Through Monday Dec 1 at midnight Central, you can order a set of 10 holiday cards or gift tags in the shop, and I’ll send a dozen instead! Simply order a holiday item, and get a couple extra cards included for free!
