What I've been up to... Part II

Well, I'm back! 

In this next installment--I'll tell you all about my new etsy shop- rotifera! 

First of all- the name.  What kind of name is that?  It is a biological nod!

Rotifera- This is the phylum name for a type of microscopic animal that translates to "wheel-bearing". They are beautiful, whimsical, and unique. This represents how I think about hair accessories. We don't NEED them, but we love to invoke a little of our personality into what we wear.


I've made TONS of stuff:


Headbands-

Ponies:

Bobbies:

Snap Clips:

And BIG barrettes:

I'm love cool fabrics so much!!  And I just find that these little button goodies are a very cool way of displaying them!

*smooch* 

Go check out the shop!  Tell me, what do you think should be in there?  I'm curious-- my taste may not be your taste!

Wool Beads

What can you do with felt?  You can make beads out of it! 

I bought some beads to see how they should look- I plan on making some with my yarn soon...

And, as I sat staring at the bag I thought, "Yeah, they're cute- but what are you going to do with them?"

This is what I came up with:

In my sew ecological shop, I made two necklaces- called "Wool Love" and "Orange Julius" respectively...

Then- my real lightbulbs went off, and I stitched some balls onto bobbies for the rotifera shop:

So there you have it!  Things that can be done with felt balls!

Happy Friday!

That exhausted but amazing feeling!

I know, I know--  Two weeks in a row with little to post?


Here is the reason-  MY BRAND NEW ETSY STORE!!!!!  *pops champagne*

I've been so successful with my main shop- Sew Ecological, that I've spread out into a new area- hair accessories.  This was inspired by making freebies to go along with my Sew Eco orders, and I wanted to showcase them all on their own for a cohesive shop look....

Here are a few things I've gotten done to get the shop, Rotifera,  up and running, but there is so much more on the way!

Button Ponies

Great Big Bobbies

I pondered long and hard about the shop name- maybe it is too cerebral, but I fell in love with the name....

I've got new items in my other shop too, but I'll leave it at this for today, and post again soon!  (No, really!)


*blushes* for not posting more this week...
