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.
