Hello!

Well, it's been a while since I regularly posted hasn't it? I have been doing some thinking about this blog. I am tired of only posting about nails. I think I have decided that I will post about whatever lovely crafty project I am currently doing and also my nails. I still enjoy doing them, I just haven't done interesting things with them lately. I am also thinking of starting up an Etsy store to sell my crafty wares. I think I will try and post a picture here and description before I post on Etsy, to give my readers a chance to purchase items at a lower price than they will be there. Here are a few of the things I have done in the past that I will be showing and selling here and on Etsy:

Cutie Patutie Booties

Feather and Fan Beanie

Itty Bitty Mary Janes
I am so excited to show this stuff off! I learned to knit just a couple years ago and basically just do baby things. These items actually went to a good friend of mine, so they specifically are not for sale, however, if you like the color and design, I still have this yarn and can make you a set. The Booties are $15 a pair and the Hats are $10. I also have patterns for a couple different styles of hats and I'll get some prototypes done soon, and I do washcloths as well. The washcloths will not be the same colors as the booty and hat sets but will be a coordinating color, or they are also great for adults as well, being all cotton, I can even do an all natural cotton with no dies or bleach. I can get other baby yarns too, what I currently have is 100% acrylic. The only difference is, if I need to buy specialty yarn, like wool, or cotton, they will cost a little extra. That cost depends on the cost of the yarn. I am also thinking of selling the patterns as well.

So, this is my first entry for crafty things. What do you think?

I will be updating as often as I can with new designs and new crafts, believe me, I make some cool stuff! Stay tuned!

Happy Crafting!

Hey, long time, no post!

So, my loverly fiance got me something wonderful for Christmas...
It is the entire Adventure Time collection from Pretty and Polished!
Since before Christmas he was telling me how he got me something really cool and I was super excited. But, it wasn't here at Christmas. It wasn't here a week after Christmas. Finally, he e-mailed P&P and she said "woolen, totally ran out, here's a refund." Then he turned around and placed another order and lo and behold, it was available. I got it last Friday. Whew, drama.

Anyway, this stuff is so great! I have tried Vampire Sing-Along and My Lumps.
This first pic is Vampire Sing-Along over a base of Rainstorm, a nice medium blue by China Glaze. It went on well, there was a little fishing for the large black circle glitter, the medium purples and whites were a bit sparse too, but there was plenty of mini red glitters.

The second is of My Lumps. This one I love. It's lumpy and squishy and a great shimmery purple base. Generously sprinkled throughout are purple and gold shards. This perfectly represents the lumpy space princess(who is one of my favorite characters).

Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Manicures!
