Tie Flowers

I love a challenge.  Seriously.  Oh!! she shouts, I have all these extra ugly ties laying around, oh what do I do with them!  Why make Tie Flowers of course!  And to think, I've lived all these years without wearing a Tie Flower!  Oh what a shame.  I can't wait to hear all the compliments tomorrow!

Pink Orange Reversible Napkins

Depsite the rain, the sun did peak out for a little bit today and I managed to shoot some good photos of these reversible napkins I whipped out the other day.  Check out my etsy shop for more details and to purchase.  Someone's gotta keep that pretty face of yours clean!

Polaroid This

Yup.  I'm old school.  I've got still got my Polaroid Camera...  Wouldn't give it up, not even for a S'More.  I'm giving myself a project this year, to shoot triptychs in polaroid film.  Nabbed some awesome film at Impossible Project.  This set is during lunch on Newbury St a week ago.    

This set is from the Charles River, fall of 2010, in Watertown.  See if you can find Max, little bugger snuck in at the last second.  

I'm waiting for someone to offer me to take their picture for a buck, so I can tell 'em My Artistic Talents require $3 per photo.

MacBook Padded Case

I've been dying to go to Gather Here for some fabric for a padded case for my MacBook that I've been trying to make for about 3 weeks, but never got around to it.  They have a wide selection of inspiring prints that you would drool over (nothing you'd find at JoAnn's I assure you).  I had a multitude of choices of what I wanted but this fabric from the Henry Alexander Ghastlies Collection really spoke to me.  It's like The Last Supper, meets Edward Gorey, meets knitting, oh and there are some kids there and an old guy with a spectacle.....

I had this button on hand for a while and never knew what to do with it.  I also grabbed some cotton cord I had on hand and 1/2" thick foam for the insides.  Don't want my mac to get all bruised, someone might call Apple Protective Services on me.  HAHAHAHHA

and here's the finished project!  Yippeee for me!

And of course, I added my own label in there for good measure.
