May project: my typical day

May 15, 2013

It’s day 15 in the blog every day challenge. Today’s prompt are showing photos from a typical day.

Currently I’m visiting family in Michigan so my day yesterday was anything but typical but I’ll share anyhow (also there are a lot of feet pictures). These were all taken with my iphone so the quality is perhaps not the best.

-Then my mom sweetly offered to give my a much needed pedicure. I read a few magazines.IMG_2029
-I cuddled with my mom’s little dog a lot. We had some good laughs when I put my scarf on her. IMG_2030
-I went to jazzercise with my mom (she goes most days and is a little off her schedule with my visit).IMG_2031
-We made meatless tacos for dinner.IMG_2032
-And ate them outside until it got too chilly.IMG_2033
Then we lazied around and watched a few tv shows.

What’s a typical visiting family day like for you?



New products, new pictures

September 9, 2011

So I’ve been working on a few new things. They have actually been made for a while but I’ve just been getting around to taking photos of them all.

I really really like the tiny states I’ve been working on, despite the fact that they are a little tricky to cut. I love each one when I am done though. I’ve always been in love with small things (being just under 5ft tall I always say small things are cuter-I’ve got to find the up sides of being little), so deciding to miniaturize some of the states was not a stretch for me. Perhaps it was more like, “why didn’t I think of this sooner?”. I am also proud to say that my home state of Michigan has been the best tiny state seller! Woo!

While we’re on the subject of Michigan I also decided to cut out a few of my favorite lakes! I had been thinking of it for a while when a friend encouraged me along by saying how cool it would be. Ok, ok I’ll give it a go! I think Lake Superior is my favorite of the 3 and also the least likely one I’d swim in (it’s always super super cold-even during the hottest days of the summer!)
