Washed Ashore
This week has been full of getaway themes - flying, horse riding, and now beaching.
Okay, so I'm really in need of a vacation. In my defense, it's hard not to think about the beach; my friends Harry and Christina just came back from Cozumel, and another set (Tim and Tran) are headed on a cruise to Cozumel. Why is everyone but me going to the beach?
I'm a big beach bum and definitely will drag The Boy to the beach at some point this summer. I love the feeling of being refreshed and bronzed after a nice weekend at the beach. :)
And of course, since I've been on this Etsy Treasury binge, I pulled these artists from my latest Treasury, "Washed Ashore". :)

Friday Finds: Shades of Teal
Teal is one of my favorite colors. I love it in all shades and hues --possibly prefer it more on the blue side...at least for today. Which is why I was SUPER excited when I found this Teal Blue leather! And it's distressed, too! *Swoon!*
Although I've made only one Hip Pocket in this beautiful leather, keep an eye out for more designs coming soon. The Baby Ruche may be next because it's my next batch of bags to make and ship by next week! Fortunately, I'm a little ahead of my sewing schedule because I worked a couple hours overtime yesterday to finish all the fabric Travelers that shipped out today.
I haven't had a lot of time to make new bags because of the current queue but no worries, I'll be working overtime in the next few weeks and you'll see a new bag design (that I designed over six months ago) that will be launched, along with new leather colors and fabrics. :)
And now, to the featured picks of the day from some of my favorite Etsy sellers!

Head to Toe: Dress, Boots & Bag
I must say, I'm a boots girl. Flats are OK. Heels are nice. But boots! I just love boots. It may be the Texan in me, because I have many (many many many) pairs of boots (mainly the cowboy kind). I try to match my clothing around my boots so I can wear them at every opportunity --summer, spring, and fall (we don't have much of a winter here in Austin). :)
Spring is coming, and I can't help but browse Etsy for some pretty little dresses and boots. As I was window shopping, I thought of an idea; how about I share my shopping experience with you?
Introducing the new series, "Head to Toe" featuring some of my favorite fashion finds paired with a bag from the shop. :)

Monday Finds: Honey & Jam Photography
It has been really cold lately. And because I'm a Southern girl, cold to me is like any temperature below 40 F. Austin has been pretty warm for the winter, but all of a sudden the weekends have been freezing and I've had to bust out the winter coats and I find myself drinking hot tea, coffee, apple cider, and really anything warm. I am not a coffee drinker. Okay, I'll correct myself in that I'm not MUCH of a coffee drinker. I don't think a cup of cream with a couple spoonfuls of coffee really count for a cup of coffee. But yeah...
I've been browsing Etsy to find great items that remind me of being warm, and I found Honey & Jam Photography. Have you seen Hannah's work? It's beautiful! And it makes me feel all warm and cozy.
Plus, she shares all her recipes online!! I think I'm going to pick up baking just because all her goodies look SOOOO delicious!

Monday Finds: Dusty Rose
I finally received my new HDD for my iMac. I cracked it open this weekend and replaced the HDD, re-installed Adobe CS3, and now I'm back in business! :)
If you're interested in what the inside of a 24" iMac looks like (the older white one), here's a series of pics I took during the process.
In other news, because I was so excited to have a brand new blank slate to fill, I started a "Monday Finds", where I'll flank the week with two days of my favorite Etsy finds!

Etsy Friday Finds: Recycled Robots
Friday Picks are back for the new year, with an upgraded title! :)
As you know, yesterday was a big day for the Longhorns. Except we start out a little slow with just 2 field goal kicks. Then Colt McCoy injures his shoulder, and Alabama scores a couple touchdowns. We've got freshman QB Garret Gilbert to lead. We were a little skeptical (who wouldn't be) -- this is a kid who was born in the 90's and he's only 18 years old, leading the No. 2 college football team. We felt pretty bad that his FIRST football game had to be the National Championship. It's a lot of pressure. There were some incomplete passes here and there, but momentum started to pick up after he threw two touchdown passes to Jordan Shipley (who is a god). Then we get a two-point conversion, leaving the score 21-24. Not bad. But then, that blindside sack... and the 2-15yd penalties. It all went downhill from there.
But all-in-all, we're all proud of Gilbert. He did good. :)
I'm looking forward to a great season from the Longhorns with Gilbert as QB.
But really, we all kind of wished that McCoy could have come back in the second half with a BIONIC ARM!

Holiday Picks: Gingerbread
I'm really excited about the holidays, now! The Bro, The Boy and I decided that we all will open our presents TONIGHT before we head to my parents home for Christmas tomorrow --because carrying all those presents home is a bit impractical in a small car.
We don't usually have a traditional Christmas at home --no tree or lights or anything. My parents are pretty thrifty when it comes to just about everything. All expenses should result in a practical appreciated output --like a home appreciates in value, a gym membership leads to good health, healthy foods lead to a healthy lifestyle...etc. Christmas lights, tree, decorations (although lead to good spirits!) do more in increasing the electricity bill. I apparently didn't inherit any of these genes, as I find myself ordering things online every couple days or so. Mainly stuff for the business like packaging supplies, hardware, some fabrics, thread.... But occasionally I'll find a pair of vintage boots here and there. Or new boots. :)
This brings me to the topic for today. I've been thinking about making a gingerbread house for years now, and I haven't since elementary school if I recall correctly. Thus, I've decided that tomorrow, I will make a gingerbread house, and blog about it. Although this idea won't be greeted with glee and cheer from the boys/parents, I shall force my family to join me anyway. Because it's all about the Christmas spirit, and if we don't have lights and a tree, we can at least have an edible house decoration. :)
And there're plenty more options to gingerbread, too!

Red Travelers, The Fall Harvest
I'm writing this entry with a runny nose, sore throat, and sipping on some miso noodle soup I made (really, with this new diet I've been on, I'll be fitting in my skinny jeans in no time!).
I spent most of my weekend sleeping trying to get better, but in the meantime, I managed to make five Travelers in Red Microsuede, which I shipped out this afternoon thanks to The Boy who lugged me to the Post Office on his lunch break. :)
This batch reminded me of a super sweet batch of late harvest grapes, perfect for super sweet red wine, so I photographed it with my new vintage crate that I bought from BuyGollyMissMolly. Almost like berry-picking, huh?
