Who's Clues? Blue's Clues!

My little guy simply LOVES Blue's Clues. He has the song memorized and often starts doing the entire routine. He does it at home, at daycare, at the grocery store, in parking lots and I think he may even sing the song in his sleep. And he strongly prefers Steve over Joe, although he'll deal with it and still watch if Joe is on. This afternoon's showing of Blue's Clues made me decide to take a peek on Etsy and see what handmade Blue puppy items are out there. There's some great stuff!!

I would love to make one of these for my little guy, he'd love it! Blue from Blue's Clues - 8 inches amigurumi doll crohet pattern by siemprejosefina

I love the look of handspun yarn and this River Fairy Handspun Yarn Blue Green Purple by tlwoldc is thick and thin and has gorgegous colors. I want it!

Wearable Stone

Yesterday I showed you my fancy schmancy crystal bracelets and today I decided to show you some totally different bracelets. These two bracelets were both made with stones. Yes, stones, like rocks, only not the rocks my two year old plays with at the park - smooth, polished stones.

The first of the stone bracelets is actually rather dainty and is surprisingly light considering its made of little rocks! The smooth pillow shaped beads have swirls of peach and slate gray, each one being a little bit different than the ones next to it. They are accented with little round black stone beads and secures with a magnetic clasp.


The second stone bracelet is chunky and fun! Its made with big ole green mossy colored stone beads that are accented with teeny tiny silver plated seed beads. This one was made on elastic stretchy cord and has no clasp, mostly because all of my clasps are so small and looked really silly next to the beads.


Happy Shopping!

Crystal Formal Bracelets

I love shiny things! They always catch my attention, especially when I see someone wearing a shiny accessory. I have two simple yet fancy and oh so shiny bracelets that are sure to catch everyone's eye at your next shindig. They feature bicone crystal beads and glass seed beads in two sizes. I have three available, but only two are listed in my shop at the current time - blue and white, black and white and red and white.



The great thing about these bracelets is that even though they are a perfect accessory to any formal attire, they are also simple enough to be worn everyday.



Happy Shopping!

July is National Hot Dog Month!

The EtsyBloggers tell me that July is National Hot Dog Month. Well, in my house, every day is national hot dog day! My son is OBSESSED with hot dogs. I am pretty sure that he could eat a hot dog for every meal every day and be perfectly happy. Since he's so incredibly in love with hot dogs, I've started buying turkey dogs, less fat, less sodium, less nastiness. I found a decent brand in ShopRite and its often on sale - its called Kunzler. 8 dogs in a resealable package. Can't go wrong with that!

"I love you hot dog"

Long Live The Mighty Hot Dog!
