vlogs? yes, please.

I have been trying to get my etsy site up and running and I had my first sale Sunday! So currently it is off to california.

So, what is this post really about?

well, two things.

1. coming soon to my etsy.... $12 bags! I promise they will still be made with high quality but just slightly simpler, but definately a great deal.

2. i realize that a). i have already discussed the spring standards and b). the point of this video is past due; however, I cannot stop watching this video. seriously, I think I would love heather, james, and james even if they didn't have great music.

what's the use in painting faces, you're never gonna find a shade to match

Now with time to post I can explain the link. If you check a couple of posts down you could see that I entered the Tote-ally Craft Bag Challenge at craftstylish.com. I ended up winning the The Omni-Crafter Special category! So what does winning entail you ask? Here is the list:



The Grand Prize Packages consist of a fabulous and official CraftStylish tote bag filled to the brim with crafty delights worth over $250 including:
$50 Gift Card from Fabric.com
Lantern Moon Jade/Chocolate Silk Needle Case
Lantern Moon Knitting needles - 1 pair size 6, 10" straight needles in ebony AND 1 pair Destiny circulars, size 8 26"length, in rich rosewood.
Rotary Cutter from Martelli Enterprises


Library of crafty books including:
The Prairie Girl's Guide to Life
When Bad Things Happen to Good Knitters
Get Your Crochet On! Hip Hats and Cool Caps
Sew Subversive
Bead Simple
I Heart Felt
CraftStylish Quick Stuff to Make



I cannot wait to get all of these. Also, it has been requested that I create a tutorial for the "blooms" on my tote bag. This will come very shortly; however, as of two minutes ago you can find a smaller version of my bag on my etsy.



Now, to the music that I listened to while making this bag. Her lyrics are heart-felt and sung with a true passion. Thao is a unique singer/songwriter who is addicting. You must listen to Chivalry. That's all there is to it.





See you soon at my tutorial and hopefully at my etsy.
