I have opened my etsy shop - link is in the post title. I have only posted my first piece and hope to add to the shop almost daily. Please do give it a peek. I had thought about waiting until I had at least 10 pieces ready to go, but decided to go ahead and open up.
While I am starting out with flowers, I will be adding pieces with veggies, fruits and other goodies......I certainly can take requests.
The mid-late 90's were a good time for me.....college, good friends, England and a lot of fantastic music. Britpop was at it's peak and while I was quite the Oasis fanatic, Pulp probably remains closest to my heart. Different Class still feels fresh and vibrant to me. I have been listening to it a lot lately. It reminds of so many wonderful times - but one that stands out to me is working in the darkroom, dancing and singing while printing photos from my UK football (soccer) excursions.....not to mention dancing at the clubs on Whitworth Street in Manchester. Good times.
stomach in.

Okay, I can't get away from this without a little Oasis. Now, this isn't a band I pull out very often anymore, but once upon a time it was the main thing in my CD player. I love the early videos. The Gallaghers are just SO Manchester....the hair, the clothes, the swagger.....sorry to say that after their first 2 LPs and the B-sides from the same time, Oasis just went to shit. But for a shining moment - this was it.
this is one of my current projects - almost finished. I made this for myself - but it was also an experiment with knitted flowers, since they are going to be a big part of my online shop. I see a number of stitching flaws here. I am starting to knit quite well, but sew? eh. I have a lot of room for improvement. I am trying not to get too hung up on the flaws in this one......overall, I am quite pleased
