A Productive Saturday

So far today has been pretty productive

 I made two treasuries this morning:

Then I dusted off my trusty sewing machine, holy cow it was dusty


Then I made these sweet little gift bags


My days are so much more productive when I make lists.

Treasury Team


I am in a small handful of Etsy teams but haven't been very active with them, so recently I joined a treasury team. It's a small team, one that has a set amount of treasuries you have to make each month using at least 5  items from other team members shops, so far it seems like a good group and it's been fun.  I haven't been stitching enough lately and the ideas for new projects have been piling up in my head, something needed to be done about it.  Joining the team has motivated me to get back to it and stock up my shop.  I have had these bracelets (plus a few more) sitting unfinished on my desk for over a month now, they are now done and will be listed soon.

I have one custom project I need to get finished, then on to some new stuff.
Yay for motivation.

Are there any Etsy peeps out there that have experience with treasury teams? Any words of wisdom you would like to share?

Yay for Juice!


I have totally jumped on the juicing bandwagon.  I started with having a smoothie with my breakfast every morning with a mix of apple, spinach, and a variety of berries and fruits.  Then I added an in-between lunch and dinner green juice that has apple, kale, celery, cucumber, a carrot or two and little ginger.  I feel great, and have so much energy, no more 3:00 slump and my mood is even better.  Today my blender broke.  Waaaaaaaa.  I don't have a juicer, so I make my afternoon drink in the blender and filter it through cheesecloth.  It's a pain in the bum, but until I can afford a juicer it will have to do.  Anyway, so my blender broke this morning and I can feel the difference.  Maybe some of it is a placebo effect, but regardless I feel way better when I have all my extra fruits and veggies.  By the way I did have a big ol salad this afternoon with this super yummy dressing recipe I found on Pinterest but it just doesn't have the same results.  Tomorrow I am getting a new blender!!!!!!!
Do you juice?
