I just wanted to tell all my friends here on vox that my store Saidie is back up and running! I was focusing on my other store Bound.To for a minute, but I was also sketching away for some new ideas for Saidie. Now that I have finalized a few of my illustrations, they are up in my store as prints, gocco prints, cards, and moleskines. Here's a preview:

Celery Green Dandelion - Large Sketchbook or Notebook

Special thanks to Jan from scoutie girl for including my Dandelions notebook in her recent friday scout out. Check out here blog to see the other fantastic Etsians featured and to check out her Indie Goodness Giveaway.

I recently got an iphone (after my friend used the Google maps/GPS function on hers to locate a froyo place when we spontaneously decided we needed to go one day in DC, I had to have one...well there are a million other cool features too). I wanted to find a cute case so it wouldn't get all scratched up like my old ipod, but I wanted it to be unique.  And where do you turn when you want something unique? Etsy of course.

I bought this one from Etsy seller tabidesigns, she's in Sydney, Australia but she got it to me so quick and I love it. She also has adorable art prints and ACEOs in her shop.

While I was searching on Etsy, I also fell in love with this wristlet from DrikaB and bought it. She does amazing work and really pays attention to detail, even adding a cute little handmade leaves zipper pull.  Not only does it fit in my big everyday bag, but its great for when I just want to take my keys, wallet, and cell somewhere. love it.  

tangy sweet

I had a pretty fun weekend.  First on Saturday, one of my best friends and I went downtown to eat at Teaism, our new favorite restaurant, and we went to tangy sweet. If you've never had tangy sweet, pink berry, or mr. yogato, you must go if there is one in your area! It is so good!  My BF and I determined that it kind of tastes like a mix of yogurt and italian ice.  Oh and the fresh fruit!  They don't use that syrupy, mushy fruit as toppings. They have the sweetest strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc! I am so craving some right now!

Anyway, enough about the froyo. I finally sucked it up and bought a gocco, I've been dying to buy one for years, and finally bought one on Ebay and it came this weekend! I bought a used one, but it came with everything, and extra ink.  I spent most of sunday playing with it, its actually a lot of fun. The masters are a lot easier to make than the silkscreens I usually make with photo emulsion, and a lot quicker! But they are definatly harder to clean.

I'm working on getting Saidie back up and running soon, and this time I will be using my original artwork for my silkscreened clothing, as well as a few other printed items. <---- (here's a little peek, coming soon :)

I also made these notebooks this weekend and listed them in my Bound.To etsy shop. I was so excited to get that fab yellow paper in last week!

Apparently, there is 100% chance of rain/wind tomorrow.

So much for my fun day with my friends that I haven't seen in weeks!

 I think there will be two of us trying to tough it out, even though it may get pretty bad since Hanna is heading our way.  It won't be a tropical storm by the time it hits us since we're in northern VA, but it might still be bad. Crossing my fingers! 

I think I am going to head to Target tonight and get some rain boots, found some kinda cute ones on thier website and I'm hoping they have at least one of these in the store I go to.

Speaking of rain boots, aren't these "little red wellies" by Etsy seller littlebrownpen so cute!

Hello everyone, I just wanted to apologize to anyone who had to contact me and wait for an invite in order to join the Etsy group.

Originally I set the Etsy Group up as public but invite only so that we could avoid non Etsy sellers/buyers from spamming the group.  It has come to my attention that it is causing people to be discouraged to join the group and view our group as some sort of exclusive group that only allows certain people in. I have never denied anyone to join the group.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I've opened up the group for anyone to join, and moving forward I will just keep an eye on the posts to make sure we are not being spammed :)

I've also joined Etsy for Everyone and I hope the group welcomes my posts :)

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I know it has been a long time since I have posted here, but I was away for awhile.  To make a long story

short I was working a pretty stressful, overwhelming job that didn't give me much time for Etsy.  I was laid-off about a month or two ago, and it was a blessing in disguise! I love my new job and I have my life back:)

While I was at home for about a month between my two jobs, I learned the craft of bookbinding and I love it! I have set up another shop on Etsy called Bound.To. I'm still going to continue with Saidie (in fact I'm in the midst of designing some new items for the shop) but I've been focusing on my new store Bound.To and that is why my Saidie shop is empty at the moment :)

I make handbound notebooks/journals, sketchbooks, address books, and photo albums. I also print on moleskines for any of you who are moleskine fans :) 

I'm going to use this blog for both Bound.To and Saidie because I already have seperate flickrs, facebook page, e-mail address, and so on. As bad as I am about keeping up my blog, I don't think I could manage two of them :)

Bound.To is also on Flickr and Facebook - Store Page and My Page.

So I finally got a dress form. I have been looking for one for some time but a lot of the ones I had been looking at were so expensive. One fabric store I went to was selling them for $800! I came across this one and it was exactly what I was lloking for and I got a great deal on it so I ordered it and it came in the mail the other day. I was sooooo excited! I think it really helps with the photography for my Etsy shop. I love that it isn't a size 2 too!
