Friday Freebie

Hello Friday, how have you been? So this week was pretty laid back and, I dare say it, relaxing.

The two custom cuffs I've been working on were dropped off with there new owner and he loved them. He posted a photo of them on Facebook as soon as I gave them to him. I'm so happy and relieved that he liked them. Now on to the next project.

I finished my beaded tin. Well I finished the beaded parts, now I just need to decide what I'm gong to do with the bottom half. I think I'll paint it, but I'm not sure. I hope to have that finished up by the end of next week.  Fingers crossed.

I got my hairs did. I figured if I'm going to teach my first class, I might as well get my mane trimmed up. It's nothing fancy. Just a trim, an addition of a few more layers, and some wispy bangs. I'm still growing it out, so I don't want to get to crazy.

And speaking of class, I think I am finally ready. I'm completely prepped for the first two classes and I'm almost done with the third. I can do this. I have a confession to make, I'm terrified. I don't know why, but I am. Completely terrified. I'm hoping that goes away the second I step into the class room next week. I hope.

But that's enough about me, let's get to that freebie. 

 

This is such a neat freebie.  This pack contains two quick pages.

Don't have My Memories software, don't worry about it.  You can use my promo code, STMMMS11215, to get $10 off the My Memories Software and then an additional $10 off any purchase in the store. That's a pretty cool deal. The My Memories folks have some really great scrapbooking things. And even if you don't scrapbook, the software and extras are really awesome. I don't scrapbook, but I love the software to make interesting blog post pictures. I even used it to make some labels for my homemade granola bars, so J wouldn't have to guess flavors anymore. Just use STMMMS11215 to get the discounts.

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and stay creative.

Woo Hoo, it's Friday again.  Unfortunately, I have to be in the lab this morning, but I guess it could be worse, I could be in here all day.  This week was pretty good, busy, but good (hence the lack of blog posts this week).  I've been working on updating the Made in Wisconsin team blog.  I'm hoping to have it a little more finished by next week, but I'm pretty happy with how it's going so far.  I had an interview for a teaching/volunteer opportunity this week.  I'll let you know more about how I did next week.  I've been working on a few custom orders and I'm trying to finish up my beaded tin.  The studio is coming along nicely and I should be fully moved in by the end of the month, if not sooner.  The weather is starting to warm up here in Wisconsin.  It's supposed to be 33º today and in the 50s by next week.  And after the -6º yesterday morning, 33º sounds amazing and 50º sounds even better.  I'll take it.      

So that my update, let's get to this weeks freebie.

This is such a neat freebie.  This pack contains six page elements.

Hello Friday. I'm pretty glad to see you.  It's been a long week.  We got hit with our first major snow storm on Sunday.  I've started working out again (ugh).  And I've started working on a project at work that runs for a continuous 7 days and one of those days is 16 hrs long.  But that's how research goes, weekends and long days.  Oh well.

I haven't really gotten any beadwork done this week.  I just haven't had time.  But I am working on a custom leather order.  I can't wait to see this one finished.  It's not that intricate, but I think it will be cool.

Luckily we're going out tonight for dinner and drinks to celebrate a friend birthday.  It will be a nice little break from everything.

But enough about that, let's get to that freebie. 

This is such a neat freebie.  This pack contains two digital papers and seven page elements.

Well the holidays are over.  Okay, so they have barely begun in my house.  We've got three down, but have two more to go, plus new years.  So the holidays are almost over for us.  How about you guys?  Are you done celebrating, or do you have more to go?  

Christmas was good at the Three Fates household.  J is completely done with his masters program.  So that is the best gift of all.  And he very much enjoyed his surprise party.  I got all sorts of goodies (ie wine), so I'm a happy girl.  It's always nice to see friends and family.  But now I'm starting to get a little worn down and I'm ready for regular life to start again.

But enough about that, let's get to this weeks adorable winter themed freebie!

This is such a neat freebie.  This pack contains twenty-three page elements and fourteen digital papers.  WOW!

Friday Freebie

Ugh, I am so behind again this week.  What is up?  So this time of year is always a crazy one (I'm pretty sure it's crazy for everyone).  There are office parties and friend parties and family parties.  There is running to stores to get gifts (I luckily one need to go pick up stuff I ordered online).  There making food and eating food.  There's wrapping presents (my favorite thing to do, no sarcasm, it's seriously my favorite thing to do) and putting up decorations.   There's making crafts (if you do that thing) and cleaning your whole house before the in-laws come over so they think actually people live at your house and not huge slobs.  As well as squeezing in birthday celebrations (my mom's is on the 20th and we have a couple friends with December birthdays).  SOOOO many things to do.  So on top of all of that add J finishing up his masters program on the 18th (technically he finishes up on the 11th, but still has class until the 18th).  Oh this time of year is so much fun.  I kid, I do love this time of year (at times I don't).  But this year seams to be even more crazy then any year before.  But that's okay, I'm a big girl, I know I'll be able to handle it.  I hope.

But enough about how crazy this time of year is, let's get to today's freebie.      

This is such a neat freebie.  This pack contains fifteen page elements and fifteen digital papers.

Weekend Wrap Up

Before I begin today, I just want to let everyone know about my Holiday Sale!  All orders from now until the end of the year (or until I run out) will get a free pair of earrings.  And if you use coupon code NACHO20, you'll get 20% off your order.  That includes clearance items as well as patterns.  So what are you waiting for, go buy handmade this year!

Well that was a long and relaxing weekend.  I know, I know, how could it have been a relaxing weekend, are you kidding me, it was Thanksgiving.  The first time of the season that hoards of family and friends get together to gorge themselves on food and get into arguments over which is the best ball team.  Oh, but not for us.  We stayed home and hid from our family and friends.  Well sort of, we did have a friend come over Wednesday and Thursday to eat our food and watch MST3K with us.  But that was it.  J's really close to being done with school (two weeks until his final project and three weeks until he graduates), so there was a lot of homework that needed to be done.  And I had to go into the lab and collect media (it was as fun as it sounds).  So no craziness for us.  That will just have to wait until Christmas time (we normally have between 6-7 Christmas parties/dinners to go to).

I did get a little bit more work done on Christmas gifts.  I now have the beadwork for three of them done, that only leaves three more to go.  I can do this.  What else?  I finished up my latest custom order, well I finished up two of them.  I finished up the leather gauntlet (photos soon) and I finished up a guitar string bracelet.  Now I'm just waiting for the final okay, and this pretty thing will be on it's way to it's new home.

I also got a little bit of work done on my "left overs" blanket.  This blanket is made out of all the yarn I have left over from other projects.  It's taking me a long time to make, but that's okay.  I like working on it.

And of course, the Christmas tree is up.  Yay!  I love the Christmas tree.  It makes me so happy.  I wish I could leave it up year round.  Unfortunately, the lights in my tree topper aren't working, even though I replaced them last year.  So I'll have to fiddle with that to see if I can get it working.  

So how was everyone else's holiday weekend?  Did you have a big get together?  Did you brave the crowds and go shopping?  I'd love to hear what everyone else did.  :-)

Friday Freebie

Use coupon code NACHO20 to get 20% off your entire order.  Also all orders (except digital downloads) come with a free pair of earrings.  Keep them for yourselves or give them as gifts.  (while supplies last).  Stop by my etsy shop today! 

I hope everyone survived Thanksgiving and is surviving Black Friday (if you do that thing).  We have opted to stay at home and not do anything.  Well I do need to go into the lab for a little while today to collect some media, but other then that, we're staying home.  This is the holiday that we hide from the world.  We do it to stay sane and so J can finish up homework.  It's the perfect time to get caught up on projects and just chill out.  It's wonderful.

But enough about us ignoring friends and family this time of year, let's get to that freebie.

Ugh, this has been a terrible week for me and my blog.  I just can't seem to actually get a blog written this week.  I did start out the week with a very nasty cold, so that's a good excuse for why I didn't write earlier in the week, but it's not an excuse for the later part of the week.  I need to get my shit together.  Get focused.  I'll try and do that over the weekend and hope that by next week I'll be back to my normal self.

Let's get to that freebie before I forget to do that.

Happy Friday everyone!  We made it through another week.  And what a week it was.  I had to sadly take down all of the Halloween decorations. Now it's time for Thanksgiving and then Christmas.  Can you believe it's almost Christmas?  Crazy.  I finished up the last of the house painting.  I'm pretty sure Monday was my last chance at that, the forecast looks like cool fall days from now on.  Hmmm, what else?  Oh yeah, I finished up a custom cuff and I started on my first gauntlet.  That's exciting.  I also had some of my work displayed in the Ebling Library on the UW Campus.  That was exciting and the reception was fun.  This is the first time my art has been displayed in public.  I'll have some photos and more on that next week.

I think that's about it.  It was a exciting week, but I'm ready for a little relaxing this weekend.  So let's get to that freebie, shall we.

Well, well, well, we meet again Friday.  It's been an interesting week.  I've made a lot of progress on my custom order.  I've lost another 5 lbs (only 25 lbs away from my goal).  The house is all decorated for Halloween.  The lab submitted two papers.  Nacho has another abscess on her neck.  A very interesting week.  I'm ready for another vacation already.  Is there a way that I could go on holiday every two months?  Anyone out there want to pay me to travel the world?  That would be cool.  I'll write articles for you.  No, no takers.  That's okay, my life could be a lot more crazy (and it has been at times).

Okay enough about all of that, let's got to today's freebie!

Well, well, well, it's Friday already.  It was a cold, wet week here, but the sun is finally shining and I believe we're supposed to have a stretch of nice weather.  Which will be nice since this whole week we've seen nothing but rain.  Since fall is in full swing here in Wisconsin, my allergies have been atrocious.  I suffer from year round allergies, but the rainy seasons always make them worse.  So, I welcome a break in the rain.  Well I would anyway, but this gives me a little relief from the sinus pressure.

I've been busy working away at custom orders still.  Working on a gauntlet or two.  I've also almost finished up the last planet needed for my solar system project.  I hoping to complete that this weekend.  Then I have a couple ideas for my next projects.  Exciting.

But enough about all of that, let's got to today's freebie!

This is such a neat freebie.  This pack contains four quick pages.

Oh wow, is it Friday already?  Where did this week go.  Fall has official come to the Midwest.  Monday was in the 80s and I had on shorts and a tank top.  All the windows were open and I even had to turn on a fan.  But by Monday night, a cold front had rolled in, and the high on Tuesday was 50°.  Brrrr.  The leaves are changing, the cold weather is here, I think it might actually be fall.  I'm just not sure if I'm ready for this.  But I guess I don't have a choice.  

Other then the fall like weather here, I've been busy working on custom orders.  I have a number of them on my plate and I'm excited for all of them.  I've also been trying to sneak a little bit of time in to work on my last planet, Uranus.  It looks like the solar system project is going to be done before Christmas, YAY!

But enough about all of that, let's got to today's freebie!
