Dictionary Day

Giving words to lifes common occurrances:

GRINSTEAD (n.)
The state of a lady's clothing after she has been to powder her nose and has hitched up her tights over her skirt at the back, thus exposing her bottom, and has walked out without noticing it.


*Funny thing, went out a few weeks ago for Elicia's birthday when she comes prancing out the bathroom with the longest running line of toilet paper ever stuck to her foot. Classic. Hmmm. I wonder if there is a word for that...

One of those days when a long drive is all you want.

So many inspirational things on Etsy!

I am the happy owner of two wonderful cats and proudly wear the name tag "Crazy Cat Owner". While others post millions of photos of their new child on facebook, mine is smothered with these felines.
I got the big grey one first, John Mayer is Sexy. Yes, that is his full and complete name. And if you are newcomer to my home, it is not to be said as a question, but a statement, "John Mayer IS Sexy".
The other little one, Cow, I just got a few weeks ago. She's so hyper that she really drives me up the wall! John would get so lonely in the house alone that I really wanted him to have a buddy. Already they are inseparable. So cute!

John loves Etsy as much as me.

Smile at This Note

I receive so many emails and notes of praise from customers and onlookers alike and 99.999% of the things said I really don't feel worthy of , but, nevertheless, they always brighten my day.
I just wanted to share with you guys what others are saying about Morasha Jewelry.

"I saw your Star of David with whistle necklace on a treasury and was so impressed that that I had to go and immediately read your profile. What a wonderful artist you are to take things "old" and transform them into such beauty. I'll be visiting your "shop" again."

"Thanks so much for the beautiful jewelry. I was really excited to receive them, and they were just as nice as they look in the photographs. I'll be giving them as gifts to some very special people. :)"

" Im so excited to see your new stuff I just found this website and I fell in love with all your stuff!"

"WOW!!!!!! I love the conceptualization of this ring!!!!"

"I am very smitten with your work. If you are ever interested in a trade please let me know. I would jump up and down!!"

"You should know that this necklace is the reason I fell in love with etsy. Your jewelry is the stuff dreams are made of (or at least mine). It's a bit outside my price range at the moment, so I haven't had the chance to purchase anything. Just wanted to let you know that you are extremely talented."

Ok, let's do some brainstorming...
I need to come up with some sort of daily concept for this blog because the random musing that I'm doing right now just isn't enough to keep my interest. My favorite teachers in school were ones that were truely passionate about what they were doing and I am that way with my jewelry, but just not this blog. SOOOOO I need to find some passion and quick!

Here's the new schedule. I'm going to try it out for a week and then tweak it from there.
Sunday's Jesus
Monday's Website
Tuesday's Trashy Desk
Wednesday's Color
Thursday's Personal
Friday's Random
Saturday's Sweet Find

And inbetween I'll be posting the same randomness, but it'll be covered in structure. Ah, I just love structure. I would describe myself as "spontaneously structured".

In other news, I purchased an ad space in Bust magazine today. It will be in the November issue (release date Nov 25).

I really want to learn how to sew. Growing up my mom had a sewing machine, but it was off limits to my curious hands and then, when I was finally old enough to where she would have trusted me, she sold it.
Now, I see all of these amazing handmade creations on Etsy and it's so inspiring! I want to SEW!

I stopped by Joann Fabrics today and roamed around their machines, but the cheapest was $100 and, frankly, I'm not sure if that's really a good deal for the most basic machine. I think if I'm patience I'll find a score on craigslist.
However....I did buy fabric. Hmmmm. I think I'm doing this backwards. Haha. They had a sale and I couldn't resist!
