Special Edition.

Happy November, everyone!

Seriously though, how is it November? The Christmas decorations are already up in the major box stores and Christmas music is playing. I remember being a child and feeling like it was FOR-EV-ER between the start of fall and Christmas and now it sneaks up like nothing!

I've been doing a lot of organizing lately. I finally took the sewing machine I received for Christmas 2 years ago out of the box. It took me 2 hours to figure out how to thread it. Luckily, I still have some knowledge of how to use it from the home ec. class I took in middle school. I even set up a super cute little sewing area downstairs, which is still in progress. I'll have to take a picture soon!

I've also been busy making some more ornaments and working on some special Twilight Saga-related items for the shop in celebration of "New Moon" arriving in theaters later this month. Included is 3 new limited edition mini shadowbox-art pieces, as well as some new Button Wreath Ornaments Twilight-style!Look for these to show up in Other Such Nonsense later today/tomorrow!

I also plan on updating Other Such Nonsense 2: Vintage & Supply with some new goodies, so keep checking back there if vintage and supplies are your thing!Before I go, I'll leave you with some new layouts that I've completed recently, which I've been promising to show for awhile now. :)Enjoy the weekend!

Massive Etsy Update!

I woke up this morning. Made a necessary trip to Dunkin' Donuts for coffee and have spent the rest of the morning uploading some new items to Other Such Nonsense. Greeting cards, Christmas ornaments, etc. Here are some of the new goods...I intend to spend the afternoon working on finishing up a new batch of ornaments. Maybe some picture taking since I have some natural light today.

On another note, I'm very disappointed that I missed "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" on tv last night. I know I have the dvd, but somehow, it's just not the same as watching it on tv. Does anyone else feel the same way? Maybe it's just me and one of my quirks. I guess I'll have to pop in my dvd though, if I want to watch it this year.

Speaking of Halloween, does anyone have any exciting plans? Share in the comments, please! I'd love to hear, as I have absolutely nothing exciting planned, except maybe some Great Pumpkin-watching. :)

Sunday Snippets.

Here are some fun random shots from around my craft area, etc. on this dreary Sunday morning.
Something about vintage bias tape and seam binding really inspires me lately. I love looking at it all together.Obviously, a girl can never have enough lace.
Love, love the color on this vintage postal scale!The current state of my curio shelves...so many fun recent thrifted finds here!And here are 2 snippets of some recent layouts I've completed. The full layouts will be shared soon, once I photograph another I just finished.
So fun to be scrapping again, although at times, it almost feels foreign to me. Hopefully my groove will come back!

That's all for now...

Have a super Sunday, everyone! :)
