Awesome Handmade!

I've been on Etsy a lot lately, updating my listings with new photos, and I find so many wonderful, wonderful things every time I visit the site.  So, since I don't have a terrible substantial update right now, I thought I'd share them with you!

I found this first piece on an article on Etsy, and absolutely adored it.  It's actually a beanbag that has been machine knitted by a specially programed machine, and then hand assembled.  Which means that all the colors are knitted in, not printed on top, and they'll never wear off.  Majorly want this!  Yes, seriously, that's a bean bag.  It's offered by Etsy seller ChicSinDesignDotCom.


This second piece is one that I wish my sister would enjoy.  Unfortunately, she doesn't play with dolls, so there's absolutely no excuse for me to buy it for her, sadly.  But it's amazing.  I think it might be a fantastic set for a stop motion animation, but unfortunately, I don't do that either.  So really, no excuse except how awesome it is.  It's offered by Etsy seller VictorianDollhouse.  I found it in another article, actually.


I've been eying Bousky's beads for a while now.  I absolutely love the flowers, but I haven't figured out exactly how to incorporate them into a piece yet.  So I've been mulling it over, and occasionally checking in on her new listings, in case she uploads something that immediately sparks an idea or that I can't live without.


Confession:  I'm also crazy about these soaps, which outs me as a complete and total geek.  My boyfriend actually gave me a set of them for my birthday, and I'm completely loving them.  They're handmade by Etsy seller GeekyCleanSoaps.  I've got the lilac Zom-B-Gone one at home, and the coconut Mana one at the studio, and they smell so good.  (I'm saving the peppermint Cure Light Woulds one and spiced orange Barbarian Scrub, because they smell even better.)
