Mail Porn!! And a few other things.

Ahh yes mail porn, I love it. Lately I've been spending some of my earnings on etsy. Here's a picture of what I got in the mail today.

The photographs are from this shop, she's adorable.
The buttons are from this shop, I can't wait to dig my yarn into those cute little button holes :)
And last but not least I purchased some makeup (that I don't have a picture of because I already dug into it and I'm to lazy to go upstairs and get it) from this cute shop (owned by a wisconsinite!). She has some of the most amazing makeup! I can't wait to buy more!

That's all I have for the mail porn. Today was fantastic! Milo woke me up at 4am, usually I'm not up to getting up that early but it was nice today and I got a lot done before 6. Then on a whim we decided to go watch the sunrise, it wasn't the best I've seen but still very beautiful and we had a blast running around waiting for it to come up. We also saw the sunset and it was AMAZING, but of course I didn't have my camera. So here are some pictures of this morning for you to enjoy!

Yesterday I was informed by my sil that she found some organic cotton (100%) jersey at the local fabric store so I jumped in my car and picked it up. Unfortunately they only had one so I bought the rest of the bolt. I would love to find a good organic cotton supplier so if anyone has some info on any please let me know!

I also have been working on a new cowl (knitting pattern) I knit one up the other night after it took quite awhile I unraveled it all :( but I finally figured it out and am happy with the end result. Here's a sneak peak.

I hope the rest of the week is just as productive! Ohhh very very good news before I end. Yesterday I found out that our mall is having a craft show this weekend and they still have openings so guess who's going!!! Super excited :)
Bye!

October went by so fast! It started with a concert and ended with Halloween it was an amazing month. Now for the updates!
After going apple picking earlier in the month Milo and I made some delicious apple sauce! I've never left the skins on while cooking before so I tried it out this time and I think I like it better that way :)

I went out for my friends birthday as a sailor. I made my whole outfit including the hat. After making that hat I really want to try making some hats for in my shop :D
Sorry for the bad photos, I was in a rush :/

For my sisters birthday I made her a Jessica Rabbit costume that was quite reveling, but hey it's what she wanted. Everyone loved it.

One more thing to share with you before I end this post. I've been working on a reversible skirt made from reclaimed sheets, let me know what you think! While I was putting it on the mannequin I thought maybe it could double as a shirt?? But then again I kind of think it looks like a skirt you're wearing for a shirt that way :/ hahahaha
I hope to have this up by the end of the month.
