i think it reached below 20 today

or at least it seriously felt like it
the sunshine was quite deceitful today, shining in her brightness
but the wind claimed any warmth it could have brought to my small neighborhood in new york
still i ventured out to run some needed errands

after deciding that i didn't really need to do laundry, i spent most of the day in my studio
(still in here for a bit actually)
drinking green tea (a bit wired)
experimenting with new ideas
new glasses

i still adore my green walls.

still in the beginning stages of a lot of experimentation, figuring out what the best way to craft, learning new techniques and getting used to the time it will really take to make these projects work. sometimes this really tries my patience, as i wish i had more than 2 days off a week to really experiment to the degree i want to.

new shirt in Etsy! this is another quite like one i listed last year, but i've added a few different features.

a pocket in the front, and a few extra petals in the back, makes for some interesting layers.

also listing a new bracelet tonight. so go check it out!!

Creating and experimenting is a great way to stay warm inside. It was super cold here too, so I started a short fiction story -- based on YOU! :D

I went to look for the new bracelet, not posted yet?

This new shirt idea is tres cute, pocket and all. I like the earthy colors!

I agree, love the pocket. I've gotta have more pockets! You've got the modeling thing down, too. Nice glasses.

Stay warm, but hopefully you'll venture out for all we Harts who are dying to hug and kiss Riley! You have a lotta luv to give on behalf of the long distance cuzes! :)

green walls are pretty.

pockets are good, too.
especially when they're made from scrap material.
