This weekend seemed to come and go so fast. I feel like it should still be Saturday! I didn't get half of what I wanted to done. Oh well. There is always next weekend I suppose. I did go see a great movie over the weekend with my other half called Let The Right One In. It was really good and beautifully shot. And the colors were amazing. I really recommend seeing this in the theater, even if you don't really like vampire/horror movies because the story is so unique and well told.
I also worked on and posted some new items for the Sparrow shop including this moth brooch which I dearly love (I will have to make one for myself):
And some exciting news: the UmlaufGIVEAWAY CONTEST starts today!! To enter, simply visit Umlauf, find your favorite item in her shop and post a comment about it here. It's so easy! The winner will be chosen at random and announced on Friday the 21st. So good luck to everyone!! And here are a few words from Umlauf's shop owner Jess:
My name is Jess and I run two shops on Etsy. Softerfire is a beading supply shop, and Umlauf features hand-knits, cat beds, and paper goods. I live in Michigan, where the nights are falling early, fast, and cold: perfect weather for sitting in front of the fireplace and getting my craft on. Knitting has been my biggest passion for about three years running. Fiber is seriously addictive (just ask my husband!)
One lucky contestant will receive my Sun-Warmed Brick Cowl keep your neck toasty and bright this season! It was hand-knitted by me with love from a mixture of fibers, including Peruvian wool, alpaca, and silk.
Bonus! If you enter this giveaway, you'll be eligible for a special 20% promotion at either of my shops! Convo me at Etsy for the details.
