Day of cleaning and crafting :)

It's been raining all day today (Portland - what else is new?). I spent my day off cleaning my house and finishing up a bunch of finger puppets for sale on ETSY! I also am nearing completion of that wall sculpture I have been working off and on for a few weeks. It's looking pretty cool... Josh thinks I need to sell it but I am kind of liking it for myself :)

I also have some headbands which I need to have someone model before I get them on to Etsy. Here's an example of one:

Modeled by the sweet and lovely Leah, who is also the new proud owner of said headband...

Josh also decided to confiscate a finger puppet for himself which he is calling "Sinister Banana". As Brandi says, bananas are evil and this one is no exception...

Josh thinks this banana is evil and has definitely killed before...

Oh, and PLEASE vote on a business name for me :) This is only for the felt products, I will keep the jewelry and such on Etsy... See voting on the right..

6 week mark :)

"And When She Was Bad..."*

Today marks the 6 week milestone in my myomectomy recovery. WOOHOO!! I dodn't realize I would feel as good as I do, I though it would be more difficult. I am feeling.....NORMAL. The only thing is a little twang here and there, not painful, but enough to notice and react. Also my incision is still numb on one side. But otherwise I feel great!

I have a million Etsy ideas swimming around in my head right now. I will eventually get some of my prints of my paintings up. I either need to find a good printing place or invest in a better printer. Mine is ok, but not as perfect as I would like.

*The picture above is one of my paintings. Sorry for the watermark, there be bandits on the interweb....

Guess what?! New Etsy goodies!!

So I am actually accomplishing everything I wanted to do today! I even put more stuff on Etsy for you all! I know that there are a lot of successful TTCers who read this, so I made a necklace especially for you ladies. I am hoping to wear this necklace soon too :) Plus more finger puppets!! Woohoo!

Welcome to my nightmare!

Fairytale Nightmare, that is....

So I am finally opening my Etsy shop up. I had actually opened an account with Etsy about a year ago, calling it Fairytale Nightmare because I was going to sell prints of my paintings on it, which have a bit of a Tim Burton/Mark Ryden influence to them. And of course, a bit of me too... the banner above are the eyes of my Snow White!

Anyway, At my shop you will find really cute finger puppets and jewelry for now. I will be updating it about once a week so keep it bookmarked!

Day... umm, what day is it?

I lost count, I think I am on day 27... Anyway, I am doing pretty good. I ran errands yesterday, yes I drove all over town and it was FAB to be behind the wheel again... But I got home and my uterus reminded me that it was still healing and decided to be a pain all evening...



My life is quite boring right now. All I do is Facebook and work on crafts and such. I am making this huge sacred heart wall sculpture.. I may sell it on Etsy, but I doubt it. either way, I will post a picture of it when I am done... I have also been wearing out my DVR with episodes of Cash in the Attic (I loves me some Alistair Appleton!), Dancing with the Stars (GO STEVE O!), and of course, 90210... BTW, Lucy Liu was in a 2nd season episode playing a waitress at the Peach Pit...



Ok, off to watch Steve O get kicked off DWTS... I never thought a jackass could be so damn charming*...

UPDATE!
Steve O is still on! YAY!



*TRUST ME, watch the video... when he's sober he's like a 6 year old kid on the first day of school...

Day 22, or week 3 conquered! On to week 4!

Feeling better and better as the days go by, still really super tired though. I have been wanting to get some stuff up on Etsy, but I have been lazy about it. I have made several more finger puppets and I am working on more jewelry, but I have it all 1/2 finished and just not motivated... Plus I need a craft knife and keep forgetting to get one...

My sister in law was here for a few days and I got her set up on Facebook. So now she's cool. HAHA J/K she has always been cool :-)

I have really been thinking about buying a house. I want to now, but I need to wait until the summer to start looking. Which, I know, it's only a couple of months away, but I have my reasons ;)

I also found out that my surgery cost almost $17,000. Woah. Thank god I only have to pay about $700 of that...

Day 16, or where have I been?

I passed the 2 week mark on Wednesday. I didn't think recovery would be this difficult. I get winded just putting dishes in the dishwasher (before you yell at me I know I am not supposed to do that, but it was driving me nuts). I wake up with neasea too. My incision is looking great though! But my stomach is still swollen and really sensitive, can only be described as a sunburn with no heat or redness.. just the pins and needles. It's slowly getting better though...

So with all of this time on my hands I have turned to crafts...This Sugar Skull necklace I made last week. I have no idea where to wear it.

I like this one made from a bottlecap :-) CUTE!

And these little guys are finger puppets! My favorites are the mad waffle and P.B. & J. They have since been joined by a slice of bacon and a band - guitar, bass, drums, and microphone.

Next on the finger puppet list is a set of little sushi guys...

for all you moms out there

Too cool....

*sigh*

My temp went down today... guess its not meant to be. At least I am keeping busy with all of the mohawk hats I have been making. I made my nephew a black and blue one, my littl niece a pink and white one with a pink and grey Union Jack o the side (CUTE!), and my other niece is getting a striped hot pink and black one....pics of them soon...

Not your Grandma's knitting...

That baby hat I knitted...My future child is gonna be so punk rock...

Current obsessions:

• My chart


• knitting a cool punk rock mohawk baby hat (just cuz)
  
• Tillamook Rocky Road ice cream


• MY CHART!!!
  
• NOT looking for a job...
  
• Did I mention MY CHART???

That's right... I ovulated... by myself... no drug intervention...Woohoo :-)

So I should have like 4 more days until I get to start TTC again... While I wait I have picked up knitting and I am trying my hand at this hat but in black:

being on "the pill" this month will hopefully get my body back in shape for egg producing, and THIS TIME I will not dwell/stress/obsess over it. I will just go to my RE appointments, calmly stick myself with a needle every night, and quietly obsess about it in my head...

Oh, and I want this baby onsie BAD:
