It's a rhubarb jammy jam!

I did some canning yesterday. I made rhubarb jam and it filled up eight small size jars. It was my second attempt at canning, but the first one where all the jars sealed. Such a satisfying feeling, and the jam is pretty tasty too.

Pretty card for a pretty lady.

I have not posted in forever because I am currently going to school to get my accounting degree and it is taking up quite a bit of time. I have not been creating much aside from altering some of my own clothes and making a few purses for myself, but I wanted to post this card I embroidered for my friend Christy's birthday.

Ohhh, the sewing machine, the sewing machine, a girls best friend.

So while I was downtown I saw this amazing store window display. I don't think it had their desired effect on me because it didn't make me want to shop there but it did make me stare at the window for a good 3-4 minutes.

Christmas, christmas time is near.

My mom and I went downtown to see the Christmas lights and walk around in the cold. While we were down there I picked up a bunch of pennys because I had someone commissioned five pairs of earrings from me, woo hoo! The lights were really lovely. I'm a little bah humbugy this year but they put me in the christmas spirit.

My old friend procrastination visits again.

Oh it's been a whole month of me doing stuff and not posting it, I really need to work on that. New Years resolution, stop procrastinating! Actually that is my resolution every year but I've been putting it off. I've made quite a few things this month and then forgotten to take pictures of them before they where gone, that's what I really need to work on. Let's put a pin in that.

Snow day, yay?

Sigh. Normally I would be excited for a snow day but I was supposed to be driving down to Portland to go to a book signing tonight for Amy Sedaris's new book "Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People". On the bright side I'll get to try out the pink snow boots I bought after the snowstorm two years ago. Think I'll take a walk down to the mini mart to get a Slurpee.

Crafty Craft Bazaar

My mom and I had a table at the SeaTac Community Center Holiday Bazaar and it went very nicely. We both sold some things and got some good feedback. I am looking forward to our next sale and devising a plan on how to make our display better.
