You would think...

We've been pretty busy around here the last few weeks/months, so I haven't been posting as much as I should've...but I finally finished a few projects today and got some pictures of them so I can share! I'm making some new things and I still have a few others in the works that I don't have pictures of yet, since they aren't completed, of course, but as soon as they are I hope to have pictures up for ya'll. And BIG NEWS...a friend and I are opening a booth in a small crafter's mall here in my hometown! Yeah for us! Her husband says she has to make some money or quit crafting and my husband says, oh wait, that's right, I don't have a husband! For once I can say nannynannybooboo or some other form of heeheehee...but I would like to be a "profitable" kind of servant so I'm hopeful that a physical location to show off my creations will work out better than etsy did. I just don't have the dedication that working a shop through etsy requires, ya know? Plus, they nickel and dime you to death! Anyways, we're really excited and planning to set up shop on Tuesday next week! So, on to the pictures...first up is the beginning of our shop name wall thingy...the letters are Q and L which some will recognize as my online "persona".
 Partially finished...I used flexible greenery for my base so my letters could have plenty of flourish to them and still feel organic since the occasional bit of greenery peeks through.
 Pretty much completed my Q here...
 And here is my L, also pretty much completed...

 That's the tips of my toes in my pink and brown Croc flip-flops up there! And the QL completed and together, which is sorta how they will be displayed.
 Close up of the Q and L...
 And I will have before and after pictures next week of our booth! Next are the apothecary jars I have been making...
 That's a large, medium and small, from left to right and I am planning to sell them in our booth! Accessories not included, of course, unless you really need some cotton balls, q-tips and a few fake white roses... :)
This set is a little different from the first set, or at least the large apothecary jar in the middle is different. It's larger and I'm not married to it's lid yet...so that part is probably still a work in progress, although I found some pieces at HL tonight that I think will look awesome so we'll see. I guess that's all for now. I still have to figure out how to make two long postcard ribbon thingies for the doors to go on our main display piece of furniture...we'll hang my hairbows/clothing embellishments from them and stack our glass wares(my apothecary jars and my friends Redneck Wineglasses) and my cards on the shelves. I found some really cute little take-out boxes to display my necklaces in, and they make a bonus ready to go gift wrapping!
