Last Month Tonight: January '15 Edition

So, I last did this round-up series in August for July...whoops. I kept up with it only for a few months before it fell to the wayside. New year, new resolve though! I've not missed a post-date so far this year (so...January) and I am putting my best efforts towards keeping up that streak.

Projects:

Toadstool Pushpins

Simple Leather Headband

Watercolor Marbles Notebook

Ship-In-A-Bottle Lamp

Giraffe Head Accessory Organizer

Read more below to find out all the other mischief I got up to so far this year!

Giraffe Head Accessory Organizer @Dream A Little Bigger

This tutorial has been in mind for so long! It's a relief to finally get it off of my brain and into reality.
Its a scarf and hat organizer to match my elephant jewelry holder! You can find the tutorial over at Dream  A Little Bigger.

Model Magic modeling  "material" is the best thing to use for this project because it's light and airy but at the same time really sturdy.

 This and the matching elephant I made (which you can see in my Workspace Tour are completely covered in old Alice in Wonderland book pages. I feel like that gives them an extra special touch.

Til Next Time!

Shop Update: Super Hero Pillows

Exciting news today! I'm heading off to my second convention (Charlotte Mini-Con) this weekend so I've been making loads of new products! Mostly pillows/cushions because...I dunno, I'm just on a pillow kick right now.

These are all super soft and fluffy! They're perfect for your bed or couch if you want to give your house some nerdy flare.

Talk About It Tuesday: Most Exciting Trip of My Life

(So Far)

Hey everyone! Hope you had a good weekend! Today I want to talk about things I don't normally talk about on the blog; Politics and people. Don't run away screaming yet! I've promise it won't get too intense. It's mostly just about my past experiences and how I came to do a complete 180 on my feelings about the topic.

In my junior year of high school ('10-'11) I did the most traveling I have ever done in my life in a short period. I got to go to New York, California, and Washington DC. Those trips were each amazing and special in their own ways but the one that has truly stuck with me the most was when I got to attend the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear.
