My Guilty Pleasure

I hopped onto Pinterest last night to find some crafts to do with the kids when my boys come home for Thanksgiving this year, but I got sidetracked.

Which happens a lot to me when I get on Pinterest.

Do you want to know what my guilty pleasure is?

SHOES!!!

I do have about 28 pairs of shoes (at my last count), and on one trip back home for a 2 week visit, I took 2 Rubbermaid totes packed with just shoes, because, hey, you never know what you'll need.  Right?

Chuck thinks I need help, but all I really need is a closet like this...

So, what's your guilty pleasure, something you just can't get too much of?  

Tell me, I promise I won't tell anyone else. :0)

New Listings at Yankee Burrow

I've been trying hard to increase the quantity of my inventory in my shop, and I've managed to get quite a few items listed.  My problem is not in the creating....it's in taking photos and thinking of tags and descriptions and SEO and promoting and blah blah blah. hahaha

 

 

I have been on a baby kick lately.  I "discovered" the cutest patterns for baby booties and footwear from Two Girls Patterns, and these Bright Orange Sandals are just one pattern of many.  These orange ones are sized for 6-12 months.

 

 

Here's the same pattern, but in Bright Yellow and sized 0-6 months.  Both sandals have hot pink buttons, but I used heart shaped buttons for the smaller ones.

 

 

How's this for color?  I had created this Acrylic Blue Flower Necklace for my old shop, but then I redid it and created 2.  One for me, and one for you. :0)

 

 

Here's a new piece for my vintage section, a green and rhinestone choker.   I found this at a local estate sale, and the colors are so much prettier in real life.  (I really need to work on my photography skills, lol.)  It makes me think of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast At Tiffany's.

 

 

This last item is a crochet star blanket that I just finished, after the 4th of July of course, haha.  These are just some quick pictures, and hopefully I will have better pictures and this listed next week.

 

You can find all these (except the blanket) waiting for you in my The Craft Star Shop.  Just click on the item link.

 

So, what have you made lately?

 

Be blessed,

The scary blue woman

One of our favorite family pastimes is to go antiquing, and one of our favorite local shops is Treasure Cove in Taylorsville, NC.  While wandering thru there we met....HER!!!!

Ok, I know that art is subjective and all that stuff....but a door knocker???? Really????  This was Hannah's reaction.

On a lighter note....look at my new shoes!!!!

I am now about 2 inches taller than Chuck! hahaha.

Love y'all.
