What I've been working on Wednesday

This weeks project was an Autumn themed record bowl. I'm really proud of this since I handpainted all the leaves on and let's just say I'm not much of a painter.  I think this piece turned out really well and would be a great fall decoration.  I plan on listing this in my etsy shop later on.

My plan is to make a themed bowl for each season.  I would love some feedback! 

Could you see something like this in your home?

Would you like to see more items like this?

Please let me know!  Thanks!

Since this post is about Autumn I have joined a fall gift exchange, check it out!  It sounds like a ton of fun!

Fun-filled weekend, and new crocheted items!

I've been meaning to make a post for a few days and am finally getting around to it, unfortunately that means I have tons of stuff I want to say and post!

First off-great weekend with the fiance!  We went to Houston, TX for the Distant Worlds concert.  It was a concert put on by the Houston Symphony Orchestra and Choir and was orchestrated versions of music from the Final Fantasy video games.  My fiance has been obsessed with these games for forever and we both loooove music (especially orchestra music) so we were soooo excited that this was going to be in Houston!  We had so much fun and the music was amazing! 

Earlier this week I participated in a gift swap throught the Texas etsy team and had a blast!  I had so much fun making the toys for my partners cat and dog.

Archimedes gifts were amazing, he got a handmade pillow bed and a cute matching catnip toy.  He seems to like both a lot!  These were made by Tricia over at Handmade Whimzy.

After working on swap items and enjoying some wonderful music I've been working on my weekly project and some new items for my etsy shop.  I'm going to make a separate post for those later on.

Thanks for reading!

My Blog is Carbon Neutral

Thanks to Home-Mom's post about her carbon neutral blog I found out about this program where if you make a post about this they will plant a tree for you!  According to a study the average blog with 15,000 visitors emitted approximately 8 lbs. of CO2 a year.  I don't have near that many viewers but I think it's really neat that they're doing this.  If you'd like to participate go HERE and get more information.

What I've Done Wednesday

Na na na na na na na na...BATMAN!

This weeks project was a Batman themed record, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out :) My fiance loooooves Batman so I may be making him one in the future.

This week I'm going to finish a record bowl I've been working on. It has an autumn theme and it's going to be all handpainted.

Autumn Treasury

Recently I've been working on an Autumn themed record bowl and to lend some inspiration I looked for some Autumn themed and colored items on etsy and made this treasury!
