We're in!

Friends I have some great news.  Mind over Manners will be at Patchwork Long Beach and Santa Ana! It is such an honor to sell alongside some of the craftiest people in LA and Orange County.

Let the crafting begin!

Creature Comforts

While there are many kitty and bunny ear rings, I think mine are the designed the best and the most functional, i.e cute self defense weapons.

After searching around for a new pair of flats, I found some friends for my rings. I was never one for matching, but when it comes to things that are unconventional, I am down. What is more unconventional than matching your ring to your shoes.

TBT: Art Imitating Life

When I started Mind over Manners, my friends and I were way into eating $1 vegan corndogs and $1 PBR on Wednesday at the Hungry Tiger Too in Portland. We aren't vegan but damn was that a good corndog!

Craft Hangover

Patchwork Spring has come and gone.  The month of May was craft doozie.  After work, I basically came home and crafted or  what my husband likes to call my second job.

Along with the usual suspects of polymer clay items I hand make, I have included laser cut wood and acrylic. I've also added a vast collection of bracelets that are all different.

A huge THANK YOU is in order to everyone that stopped by and said hello at Patchwork.  An even bigger THANK YOU to those that came by picked up a few pieces.  It really means a lot to me.

What's next? LOTS OF STUFF!  I will be sure to let you all know.  In the meantime, check out the blog post on Dear Handmade Life.  It is a great post on the early days of Patchwork and what it has become now.  It is an honor to take part in such a great craft community.

Throw Back Thursday

I had the idea in Portland and I'm continuing my craft in Long Beach.
