What a great way to start the day! :) Jessica featured me on her blog Funky Finds today. If you haven’t taken a look at her blog before, you really should (and I am not just saying that because she featured my shop). She features different handmade items that she finds each day and it is a great way to find Christmas gifts or just stuff that you love & have to have:)

I have been working a bit on getting a few more scarves in my shop this week, since the ones I listed at the beginning of the week sold out pretty quick. There are 3 new scarves in the shop now (2 that I listed yesterday & 1 that I listed today), so go take a look… There is even a new blue & brown scarf (seen above) which seems to be a favorite color combo of many:)

Is anyone up for a little giveaway? I know this is quite the random post so far… :) Having organized & cleaned up my studio a bit I thought maybe I would celebrate and do a little giveaway… So in celebration of being a bit more organized, I will giveaway these 2 sets to 2 lucky winners:) Just leave me a comment on this entry before Tuesday morning & I will put you in a drawing. (Only 1 entry per person:)

Estea tagged me to list 5 random or weird facts about myself… I am not sure if I can come up with 5 that everyone doesn’t already know, but I will try. :)

1. I am almost always cold. I love summer because of this and don’t really care for winter that much. I can never seem to have enough layers during winter. (Example… right now I am wearing jeans with a skirt over top plus 2 sweaters and I am still cold.)
2. I have received the pre-exposure rabies vaccine. This is different from the shots you would receive if you are bit by an animal, it is supposed to prevent getting rabies if you ever do get bit by an animal. (I hear that the post-exposure shots hurt a lot… the pre-exposure vaccines do too!) I like to think that I sort of know how my cats feel when they get their rabies shots each year:)
3. Living in a state with no large lakes or water makes me feel a tiny bit claustrophobic even though there is tons of prairie. (The first year we moved here, I really did wonder how they would light off fireworks for the 4th of July without water to light them off over… Apparently they light them off over a big field, which still sort of freaks me out…)
4. I have taken ballet off and on for years. Right now I am taking a ballet class, but I think this next year might be an off year…
5. Someday I would like to live out in the country (not in prairie country though… somewhere with trees & water nearby sort of country) with Ben & our 2 cats, I would also like to have 2 dogs & 2 horses along with our 2 cats. (I didn’t say it was a practical dream:)

I am tagging Angie, Karyn, Kelly, Regina, and Anina. (Okay seriously – it is hard to pick just 5 people to tag…) Feel free to pretend I didn’t tag you though:)

I added 2 new scarves to my etsy shop today. I was planning on a slightly larger shop update than that, but I think instead I might add more items throughout the week….

This one is probably my favorite scarf so far, which shouldn’t be too surprising since I seem to love the color grey lately.

The backing on this scarf is the grey polka dot flannel that gave me the idea for flannel on the back of scarves and it is so soft. I was a bit tempted not to list this one, since I love it so much:)

I also made another pink + brown scarf, except the fabrics are slightly different and I used pink flannel on the back…

I have a bit more of this fabric set aside too for some more napkins to match the other ones I made awhile back… Even with just the 2 of us, 10 napkins is not that many when you think about 3 meals a day + having company over sometimes & such… I actually started the napkins this weekend but haven’t finished all of them yet. I am sort of thinking about doing a little tutorial on them too, if anyone is interested? I already took the photos, but now I have to figure out how to write the tutorial out:)
