Getting organized

I've been working on getting organized. It's been a bit difficult without a paper calendar at work and at home. I've been scouring etsy for weeks looking for one that I could write some notes on for work and just a plain nice one for home and it seemed like an impossible task after the new year. It was hard finding one the right size that had what I needed. I finally found them so I thought I'd share.

for home, a gorgeous letterpress one from Papered Together


and for work, a cute one from Red Prairie Press


So now that's taken care of, I'm uh, going to get down to business.

Tyler Bender books

Holly blogged about Tyler Bender's repurposed books crafted from vintage bookcovers this morning. I looked them up and fell for this one. I'm on a budget though these days so I'll just have to admire for now.

Specimen No. 04

I sent this baby out on Friday to Greece for my dear friend Daphne's birthday. I bought the four pack pattern from Wunderkammer's etsy shop. It's a great pattern, considering that I've only made crochet flowers prior to this, the directions were easy to follow.

Plum and Lion Etsy shop open

My etsy shop is now open! For sale are some 16" square pillow covers from Laos, hand embroidered by the ethnic Hmong tribe. I will eventually put stuff that I make and other loot from my travels in the shop.

(*7-18-07 I just got word from Etsy that I am not supposed to sell stuff from travels on Etsy, it has to be handmade by me. I've taken all the images down. So if anyone is interested in the pillows contact me by clicking on the link in my profile. I will be posting stuff I have made shortly!)
