CONTEST Announcement!!! There are some really nice and talented people selling their handmade wares on Etsy, and zero (whose real name is Aija) is one of them. She purchased a bunch of my little recycled atlas envelopes and uses them when she ships out her creations. Aija makes the coolest little knitting stitch counters using all kinds of things -- freshwater pearls, natural gemstones, paper beads, and other stuff.

But the thing that really draws my attention is Aija's blog, sockpr0n, where she posts photos of the incredible things she knits.

And now... Aija's having a CONTEST! She's awarding gift certificates from a variety of Etsy shops, mine included. The contest ends on March 20, so be sure to check it out and enter!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! It's officially 2007. I managed to stay up until midnight, primarily because I'm reading a good book and I was totally engrossed in it (it's Promise Me by Harlan Coben). I'm still not finished with the book, but I'm sure I'll finish it today.

I just made a bunch of little envelopes with cards, using an old (1971) atlas of the United States for the envelopes. They're the coolest little things. I've listed one set on Etsy and have a few more sets when those are gone.

I also have some new ideas for glass magnets, so it's going to be a busy day today and probably a bit smelly. That adhesive is stinky. I'm trying out some new stuff today, so maybe it will be less smelly.

Off to create some fun stuff!
