a sweet little surprise

i have told you before that blogging has introduced me to some wonderful people, right?  well, my friend, Danny, sent me a sweet little package.  it was quite unexpected too.

i love the fabric she sent over.  the mustaches are too cute, and the bright colored print of girls and cats/dogs is fun too.  i've been thinking about what to make using these prints.  i definitely want to make something for a boy/man using the mustaches, and i imagine a tweenster using the other print.

Danny made these adorable burp cloths.

thanks Danny!!!  you should head on over and check her out.  she has a giveaway going on right now.  she made an adorable zippered pouch, and it includes a tutorial!

what would you make with these prints?

the beginnings of an orb pendant

over the weekend, my eyeballs saw a lot of this.

and then . . .

i was pooped.  Burn Notice, Bones, and Portlandia may have distracted me a wee bit too.  i have to let the ball cure for a few days, but i hope to have this baby up by the end of the week.  pendants are not really an option for my home due to our 8 foot ceilings.  luckily, this baby is getting tucked into a corner, so nobody's fat head will run into it. 

here's a clip from Portlandia that made me laugh. 

also, i am in the market for a new camera.  i bought a canon s95 (point and shoot) back in october, and i really dislike it.  fortunately, amazon is amazing, and i'll get 90% of my $$ back to spend on a new camera.  i am thinking about a canon rebel (slr).  we are getting a nice tax refund, so i will have a little extra play beans. 

any suggestions on a camera?
