I've been traveling a lot this summer and haven't been very productive. Tomorrow we're going shopping for school supplies. I'm not mentally ready for school to start, but I will be when the kids arrive.....I hope.<br /><br />I've updated the store with a few pieces that didn't sell at the craft fair. <a href="http://blanketofstars.etsy.com">Check it out.</a>.blanket.of.stars.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00705875927658727720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109083740603828894.post-44983454213159511852010-06-26T19:52:00.001-07:002010-06-26T19:58:41.546-07:00It's been a looooong dayHello world.<br /><br />Today was the Nashvegas Craft Fair in East Nashville. It was terribly hot and sticky and gross, but fun to be there nonetheless. We weathered some rain, which cooled us down for a little bit, but then it got hotter than before. I ended up selling a couple things, but not until I started packing up. I had a Sounds game to get to, so I started to pack up my stuff around 4:00 after Amanda got there to help. The eldest owl was adopted, and a pair of birdie button earrings were purchased. I rushed home, got all cleaned up, and headed to Greer Stadium and met up with my friends. We got in 2.5 innings, I think, before it started POURING. I got thoroughly drenched on my way to my car. Not fun. A few hours later, I am dry and all unpacked from the fair. I will try to update the store this week with some of the items that did not sell at the fair.<br /><br />Please keep my mom and the rest of my family in your prayers as she is going in for surgery on Monday. They are working on the arteries in her kidneys. The doctors think this procedure will help to lower her ridiculously, crazy, high blood pressure.<br /><br />Thanks, and have a great night!.blanket.of.stars.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00705875927658727720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109083740603828894.post-76096609427917769272010-05-15T10:00:00.000-07:002010-05-15T10:55:32.641-07:00May 15, 2010The school year is winding down to a close, and I'm so very excited about summer vacation. It's been a tough year. We were out of school for a week due to the flood. Thankfully the days do not need to be made up. I got out to volunteer during that week, but then teachers were called back to school for inservice and professional development to end the week. Saturday we went out to Bordeaux to lend a hand. I ended up with a bad sunburn, but I was glad to be able to help Miss Daisy.<br /><br />The devastation of the flood is still with us in Nashville. My house was spared and all my friends and family are okay. But there are so many here that lost everything and need help. I have purchased my T-shirt from <a href="http://www.nashvillefloodtees.com">Nashville Flood Tees</a>, and so should you. There are many other ways to help, too, like donating to <a href="http://www.nashvilleredcross.org/index.asp?IDCapitulo=78T3Z2WSK0">The Red Cross</a>.<br /><br />Since I last blogged, I've made quite a few things:<br /><br /><Img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4057/4578052285_7a774b679f.jpg" width="500" height="375"><br /><Img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4035/4578682928_20f8418d85.jpg" width="500" height="375"><br /><Img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4055/4578685508_daf7226a3a.jpg" width="500" height="375"><br /><Img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4019/4578054115_3d5b472899.jpg" width="500" height="375"><br /><Img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4067/4578686958_b4c78113be.jpg" width="500" height="375"><br /><Img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4032/4578687740_ffcab62f0a.jpg" width="500" height="375"><br /><Img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1101/4609383278_f4e5b21858.jpg" width="500" height="375"><br /><Img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3577/4609384222_fca101bbfd.jpg" width="500" height="375"><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1106/4609494808_ddced01e94.jpg" width="375" height="500"><br /><Img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4070/4608889457_bcd50889bc.jpg" width="500" height="375"><br /><Img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1141/4608876801_86e0b4ee7b.jpg" width="375" height="500"><br /><Img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1072/4608871565_d16f653cd8.jpg" width="375" height="500"><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1319/4609479452_2d105feca0.jpg" width="375" height="500"><br /><br />Today I finished up my brother's birthday compilation, purchased <a href="http://www.matthewryanonline.com/information/store.html">Matthew Ryan's Dear Lover - The Acoustic Version</a> and <a href="http://www.factorytwentyfive.com/ftf6/">Rosie Thomas' All The Way From Michigan Not Mars DVD/LP</a>.

Here are a few examples from my "coloring book". They come from <a href="http://www.fairforever.com">Aaron Sprinkle</a>, <a href="http://sunnydayrealestate.net/">Sunny Day Real Estate</a>, <a href="http://www.rosiethomas.com">Rosie Thomas</a>, and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/jaymay">Jaymay</a>.<br /><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/sketchbooklyrics7.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/sketchbooklyrics8.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/sketchbooklyrics9.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/sketchbooklyrics6.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/sketchbooklyrics5.jpg"><BR><br />Then I thought it would look awesome to take one and do an embroidery.

It was so cold out then, but since then, the day as become warm and gorgeous. We (Jenn, Yurry, and I) finished in 2 hours and 15 minutes 'round about. I did something to my left ankle and now it's mad at me. I haven't updated much lately because school is back in session and I don't get to do much of my own thing. When I get home I'm so exhausted that I sit and draw/color. I will share some more of my coloring book pages later when I finally find a scanner. Last night I started another embroidery. So far I only have the 'M' outlined but I plan on some french knots and a few other things.<BR><br /><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/embroidered-m1.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/embroidered-m2.jpg"><BR><BR><br />Now, go out and enjoy the fantastic weather!!.blanket.of.stars.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00705875927658727720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109083740603828894.post-64343773370868364062010-03-21T19:00:00.000-07:002010-03-21T19:03:08.171-07:00A quick oneSo, it's my bedtime.

I've been able to hang out with my friends and not worry about being out past my bedtime. Yesterday I spent the afternoon printing to get some more pieces for my portfolio. The ink is still a little tacky so they're still hanging. Here is a look at where I am in the process:<BR><br /><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/0315101715-00.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/0315101715-01.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/0315101618-01.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/0315101618-00.jpg"><br /><br />Today I got my hair cut and bought a fantastic new jacket. I have an addiction to jackets and bags. Seriously though, this jacket is fantastic. Perhaps I will get better photos up of it soon, but here is a look at the new cut and jacket.<br /><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/Photoon2010-03-16at1446.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/Photoon2010-03-16at14462.jpg">.blanket.of.stars.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00705875927658727720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109083740603828894.post-53443721039281665022010-03-12T18:48:00.000-08:002010-03-12T19:05:09.640-08:00RedesignHello all.<br /><br />I've been working on a new design for the website, so I figured I'd change the blog up a bit too.<br /><br />A while ago a couple of my friends started a new hobby. They are now addicted to coloring. I decided to make my own coloring book instead of buying one. Here are a couple of the pages I've done:<br /><br /><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/colorpage-girl.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/colorpage-gears.jpg"><br /><br />I hope to get the new site up soon. A few photos have yet to be taken of some paintings to update my portfolio. Another thing that is slowing me down is the lack of a scanner. My old scanner is not compatible with my new Mac, and it's proving very difficult to find one not attached to a printer. I have a very nice printer that looks very pretty sitting on my craft table/desk, so I don't need an all-in -one.

I don't even know if that can be done.<br /><br />currently i am watching a woodworking show on npt. i love it.<br /><br />i've made some new jewelry that i need to get up on my etsy, but i'm just lazy i guess. i'll get 'em up sometime soon. the items i have up there now are going to expire in september, so if you have your eye on something pick it up now :).blanket.of.stars.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00705875927658727720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109083740603828894.post-91871259046841173702008-05-24T16:54:00.000-07:002008-05-24T17:09:51.901-07:00it's about timeSchool is finally out. I thought it would never come. I've added a couple things to the <A HREF="http://blanketofstars.etsy.com">store</A>. Right now I'm working on a compilation for my brother. I always make him a cd for Christmas and his birthday. Currently I'm listening to Matthew Ryan vs the Silver State trying to pick one song for the comp. It's incredibly difficult to do so. I saw him in concert one week ago to give him the bracelet I made for him. He says that it is "genuinely beautiful". It was such a great show.<br /><br />Here are a couple of paintings I've done this week:<br /><IMG SRC="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/owlpainting.jpg"><br /><IMG SRC="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/owlpaintingdetail.jpg"><br /><IMG SRC="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/pedropainting.jpg"><br /><IMG SRC="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/pedropaintingdetail.jpg">.blanket.of.stars.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00705875927658727720noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109083740603828894.post-47146364276914489202008-05-10T16:30:00.000-07:002008-05-10T16:45:21.173-07:00it's been an interesting dayOne week on Etsy and one sale. I'm feelin' pretty good about it. I've been making some stuff. I want to make a purse or two, but that is a bit more work than making the jewelry. I will though...I'm itchin' to work with some fabric. I did get a handy little tool that helps create beautiful consistent knots. So, I've been stringing stuff lately. Here's some of the stuff I've been working on...they'll get up on my <A HREF="http://blanketofstars.etsy.com">etsy</A> sometime soon.<br /><center><br /><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/yellowturquoise1.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/yellowturquoise3.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/yellowturquoise4.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/wooden1.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/wooden2.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/wooden3.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/wooden4.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/wooden5.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/pearls1.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/pearls2.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/pearls3.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br /></center>.blanket.of.stars.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00705875927658727720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109083740603828894.post-89780090480764044322008-05-03T17:45:00.000-07:002008-05-03T17:49:35.997-07:00finallySo, I set up my <A HREF="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5588805">etsy shop</A>...come by and visit.<br /><table style="text-align: center;"><tr><td><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.etsy.com/flash/spots/etsy_mini.swf?user_id=5588805&user_name=blanketofstars&item_source=shop&item_size=thumbnail&rows=3&columns=4" width="374" height="280"><param name="movie" value="http://www.etsy.com/flash/spots/etsy_mini.swf?user_id=5588805&user_name=blanketofstars&item_source=shop&item_size=thumbnail&rows=3&columns=4" /></object></td></tr><tr><td><a style="text-decoration: none; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#D35701; font-size:14px; font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.etsy.com" >Etsy</a><br/><a style="text-decoration: none; color:#D35701; font-size:10px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" href="http://www.etsy.com" >Buy Handmade</a><br/><a style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#0192B5; font-size: 12px; text-decoration: none;" href="http://blanketofstars.etsy.com">blanketofstars</a></td></tr></table>.blanket.of.stars.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00705875927658727720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109083740603828894.post-67027269751434091442008-04-23T18:36:00.000-07:002008-04-23T18:53:12.947-07:00counting down the daysso, i still haven't put up anything on my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/profile.php?user_id=5588805">etsy</A>. i have been making things however. a few pairs of earrings, a couple necklaces, as well as these fantastic owls and lion...<br /><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/miniowls.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/miniowls3.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p311/xblanketofstarsx/blog/lion.jpg"><br /><br />i've had an amazing couple of weeks. a really good friend came to visit and see nashville for the first time. we went all over the place and still didn't see everything that needs to be seen. i took a couple of personal days, but still had to take a sick day because i was just so exhausted.<br /><br />the last day of school is the 22nd, and it's a half day. half days are so very useless. one in-service, one workshop, two days for field day, and a day in the gym all cut from the countdown which leaves 15.5 days with kids..blanket.of.stars.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00705875927658727720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109083740603828894.post-75941983987431160352008-04-06T17:35:00.000-07:002008-04-06T17:45:16.681-07:00today was the daySo, the craft fair was today. It was fun, but i'm so very tired now. It was quite warm and sunny today which brought many people out to the fair. I was pleasantly surprised to have been visited by all my friends today. My covered button earrings were a hit and most of what I sold. Everybody loved the owls, but none were adopted :) I'm not sure if we will be doing the fair next month. If we do, I will make smaller owls and turn them into pins. I didn't bring my owl band with me today because I've become very attached to them. I plan to get my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/profile.php?user_id=5588805">etsy store</A> up and running soon.
