This Is Not A PhotoBlog. Really.

Really. It is supposed to be a craft blog. I do stuff. I make stuff. I have projects that I totally get involved in. I don't know why I have such a hard time sharing it with you. I think there are just so many talented people out there that I get overwhelmed. My little projects just can't compare.

I am going to keep trying. I am nearly finished with my Amy Butler Vintage Backpack Tote. There should be a lot of little matching projects in the future. My Moms gets here on Saturday for a week long visit and I can't wait! We are going to sew, sew, sew!

Thinking of you! Hugs. xox=vv.

Simply Beautiful.

Hello lovelies.

Quite a long time ago, Dawbis and I agreed to a trade. It took me a while to get my part of the trade to her. She should have penalized me, but instead she promptly sent a huge package of the most beautiful creations.

I think this postbook might be one of my absolute favorites of all time, although it is almost impossible with the line-up of her awe-inspiring creations. I can not help it though. There is something about the book format that makes it feel like a little secret world between the cover pages.

Isn't she the very best ever? Do you want to hear the most mind-blowing part? This is not even half of all the wonderful things that she has sent to me. Can you believe it? I've been planning to share all of this Dawbis goodness with you for months now, but I put all of my favorite things in our Security Deposit Box while we went through all of our moves. We are finally re-united. Hugs. xox=vv.

P.S. I had to edit and remove many of the photos from this page because they were not showing up. I am not sure what went wrong, but I hope to fix it in the near future. I think you can still see the other photos on my Flickr page.

Our First Interview.

Update: Oops. I left out a very important paragraph about the surprising results of her website development (it's good). So check it out!

Our first interview over at Simple Acts of Green was just posted. Yay!

Simple Acts Of Green.

Oh hello lovelies! I am very excited to tell you about a wonderful new project that I am so terribly pleased to be a part of. Miss Dawbis (that delightful girl) has started a new blog called Simple Acts of Green.

To quote her very well (per usual) written introduction "[Simple Acts of Green is] a blog dedicated to sharing the stories and lives of people who are making a difference to preserve our planet, one small step at a time."

We (Dawn, Laura, Jeska, Diane and I) would love it if you would stop by, say hello, and share a story with us. These girls are incredible and I would certainly recommend dropping in, if only to read their bios.

I hope you will stick around for more though and check in often for new articles and interviews. See you there! Hugs. xox=vv.

It's okay, I promise.

After a couple of very cute comments by some very lovely girls I feel the need to address the issues of ghosties in a new post.

To start, ghost hunters is a very mild show. It is a group of researchers who take gear with them to "haunted" places. I enjoy the show because I am skeptical. It makes me feel a bit less fearful because they are constantly de-bunking the ghostly anecdotes.

You see, I am super scared of ghosties too. The other night I slept with the light on because I was afraid of what I was reading in Spook (yep. READING). The funniest part? I was reading about the hallucinogenic affects of sound and electro-magnetism. There are theories that ghosts are really just figments of our imaginations that are brought on by sound or energy in our environments.

That was scarier to me. The idea of ghostie hallucinations seems worse than a real ghostie. All-in-all, I am extremely happy to be out of the spacious suburbs and into the cramped city. I just feel safer.

A big hug. xox=vv.

There Are Things To Share.

I promise. New things to share very, very soon. Later today, I hope. In the mean time, I am looking forward to tonight's new episode of ghost hunters. I really love this show.

I find the scientific topic of another existence extremely interesting. I just finished Spook by Mary Roach and it was a quick and delightful read.

I am having trouble uploading pictures. I am also swamped and sick and missing you all terribly. Hugs! xox=vv.
