Inspiration

Well i took a trip to the mall today, to exchange some things, and found a lot of things to inspire me :]

I found an adorable lace necklace at Charlotte Russe.

And i just received a piece with two lace bunnies kissing, that i plan on making into a necklace now.

This adorable top is from urban outfitters i believe. I'd like to recreate it, with some bead work as well.

I don't think i'll even attempt to tackle this, but i still think these are sooo cute:

Upon searching the glorious internet, i found this gem, and I cant wait to make my own.

Lately..

Well things haven't been going too well, my sewing machine broke :'( and although i found a replacement, it has no power cord :[[ and until i can get that all straightened out i can sew no more.

I have been making some earrings though:

 

This is a necklace i made by cutting some fake leather material i had left over.

 

Hopefully if  i ever get a new sewing machine i'd like to try to recreate some things:

This dress from Forever 21

 Some shorts like these with this awesome blue victorian toile fabric i have:

I'd really like to make a baggy lace tank to go over basics

And maybe a neat little crop vest.

Although i cant sew at the moment i'd like to get back into tie-dying with spray paint and silk screening on top of that.
Here's an example of spray paint tiedye :

FEATHERS !!

Lately i have been into feathers, hence the title, so  I have made some jewelry that contains feathers.
Here are a few pictures:

Eek! It's official, i have my own Etsy store :] I'm sooooo happy!
Here's the link: Etsy Shop
I haven't had time to update it much but it's on the way!

Etsy Shop

Recently I've been wondering if i should open an Etsy shop, since i rely on Facebook to sell my crafts. I think it would be a great idea, hopefully not an expensive one. I have quite a few items already to put up. And maybe it would push me to keep sewing and crafting, hopefully. And maybe my stuff would get around more. Does anybody have any advice, or comments? I guess I'm kind of nervous.
