Is it Possible to Gain Weight By Looking at Realistic Clay Pastries?

I've been at these non-stop for the past two days.  I'll be shooting them tomorrow to go up in the shop.  They look so yummy in person...My mouth is watering!  I really enjoy the macaron, however, it may only be suitable for long hair.  I think it will look really cute on the crown of the head since it's kind of tall.  I think I'll force my sister to model tomorrow.

New Old Finds

I finally got to go thrifting today!  It's been far too long since I went last.  I've been caught up with so many crafts and projects that I kind of abandoned my darling little vintage shop.  But, I sat myself down and realized that I need to learn how to FOCUS!  I'm pretty sure I have ADD to the max when it comes to being creative.  I love doing so many different things that I become a scatterbrain and jump from one project to the next.  I feel that every week is something new.

Anyways, I didn't get to thrift for long.  Sam and I promised Brian we would take him to get dinner on his break.  So as a result I was only able to leave with two coats.  Not bad for this particular thrift shop I was at.  I'll be taking pictures tomorrow of these items and I'll make sure to post them right away!

In the meantime, It's now after 3am and I totally lost track of time thanks to Sims 3.  I'm such a child.

Okay loves, have a good night (or morning?)

Mr. Fox!

I just added this guy to the shop!

Two-Faced

For those who don't know me, I'll have you know there are two sides to me: one is extremely girly (think fashion, hair, make-up, animals, cute things, home decor).  Then there is a whole other side.  This side is the "artsy" side.  I guess the best way to describe my "artsy side" is to just take a look below...

My friend Joey and I had a small shoot today.  He has a solo project called Kissing Candice and he is releasing his EP tomorrow.  He used to be in Dr. Acula, so we go way back.  In fact, I hadn't seen him in almost two years, which really sucked.  However, we got to reminisce on old times and touring together three years ago.  That's the only good part about not seeing people for a long time.

Anyways, I have a belly full of nachos and am thinking about calling it a night.  I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day tomorrow.  Goodnight!

Let's Talk Hair...

I'll be the first to admit that when I'm stressed I take it out on my hair.  Sometimes I don't even realize I'm stressed until there's a pile of hair in my bathroom sink.  

However, I've never really been a fan of long hair (on myself).  I think I look a little more my age with short hair (I'm only 4'10", so anything to help me not look 16 is a plus!)  My mom keeps pestering me to go to a professional, but I have never walked out of a salon satisfied.  I particularly hate getting my hair styled by others...You can wash it and maybe cut it...BUT THAT'S IT.  I'll never go back to get my hair lightened in a salon either.  I walked out last year with orange roots and blood orange tips.  Plus at that time I was also trying to grow out my hair, so imagine the pain I felt when I was told she was going to "trim" the ends and ended up taking a few inches off.  Ugh.  I think hair is very special to a girl.  It can make or break your self esteem.  I've always depended on my hair to make me feel better if I wasn't happy with an outfit or something.  I think this also why I love making hair accessories.  A hair accessory can always fix problem hair.

Some Jars

Here are two more jars I just got to photograph!  These were painted by Brian and I assembled them.

Here's a little sneak preview at some hair pieces I'm working on!

I'm Back!

I seem to have been neglecting this blog, and therefore I am quite sorry.  Life has been a roller coaster lately and I suppose this has become the last thing on my mind.  But here I am, updating...Finally!

So I won't bore you with my stories to which have had me distant from my blog.  I will only update you on what I have been creating lately.  

Have I ever mentioned my obsession with mason jars?  Well, I have a ridiculous amount scattered throughout my home.  Some as candle holders, some as trinket holders, one collecting change, some decorative, etc.  Yeah, I have quite a collection.  Anyways, Brian and I came across this fun little idea and decided we should make some.  

What we did was paint plastic animals and the tops of the jars.  Then we covered them with glitter and let them dry.  I searched for a solution as to how to keep loose glitter from getting all over the place, and the best one I found was hair spray!  Let me tell you...IT WORKS!  Plus it doesn't stay sticky!  

Here are some pictures of some that we finished (and posted on etsy):
