A Muggy Warm Day In The Rugged Lands While Searching For Monsters And Tiny Ponies

My, my what creature is this?? a pixie?? I can assure you all I am very much a human, my hubby just now is starting to call me "his pixie minx" I guess my short spikey hair reflects the pixie fairy in me! heheeeeeeee!

Today I am just sorting through my studio, forgot I had all of these smoking hello kitty cabs! I have one of these posted as a ring in my shop, I love these, not all cabs have to be cute or innocent!

My newest addition to the My Little Pony Family..."Up Up And Away" pony....I had this one once as a child, but lost her, she was one of my favorites, but found this again on another etsy site, she was 8 bucks and I had to have her. Now she is here to stay!

In my most recent dreams, I am dreaming that I am searching for my childhood treasures, especially the 40-50 petite ponies just like these 2 above...I ever so badly want to find the rest of my collection, but all I have are just these 2...sigh....

The monster search has begun, and I caught one! I made this little fella about 3 years ago in a cramped apartment bedroom in Kansas...I gave him the name of "Kashnikov". I have sold a few of these monsters in Minxden way back in the day, but I always had a soft spot for little Kashnikov, I didn't have the heart to sell him. Hope you all have a good weekend!

The Longest Blog Post You'll Ever Read....

Ok, (takes big breath) let me get you all up to speed on what's happened in my life the past 60 days...you will slowly see a transformation of myself too.

You all knew in my last post I had to get rid of my pink hair for a job (which I no longer today have due to personal reasons) well here was the first stage, wasn't too happy with it, simply because I missed my pink hair badly, I cried for days!

Despite of my icky nappy hair, I carried on by decorating my home for spring and Easter...

Replaced my valentine's wreath for an Easter one...

Got some food pairing kawaii prints for the house, I woke up one day and realized my walls are so plain!



Started up a new collection of vintage my little ponies, oh how I loved them as a kid, and missed all of those colors, so bought some on various etsy sites to vamp up my studio!

Here my hair is back to my original color, but it was so so so nappy from all of that dying, my hair was more fried than fried chicken!

Makin barrettes, finding more cabochon venues outside of the USA (these came from Japan!)

Bows out the behind for myself, basically to give a distraction from my fried hair....




Thinking of pink......

Spring has sprung in my little town.....

Yes, can't forget about my cheesy pepto bismol pink lawn flamingos...

Finally found a purpose for my vintage fabric banners....

Became a bow maker!

Minxdenpartdeux is running smoothly! (151 sales!) but sadly made the decision to close down Minxden after a 3.5 year run, have 25 pillows left to sell, once the last pillow is gone, Minxden will be laid to rest!




And just 3 days ago, decided to rid of my frizzy hair and do a scary but brave thing....have the shortest hair of my life! All that you see here is virgin hair untouched by any dyes, and it is so soft and fuzzy again! I missed that. Thank God I can still wear bows though....whew! So sorry I have not been posting in the last 2 months, some of you may have wondered if I dropped off the face of the planet! I nearly did! Had to take care of a very sick husband, I got sick with severe bronchitis the first part of Feb. was laid out for almost a month...also severely sprained my right ankle from my previous job...dealt with replacing the entire clutch system in my hubby's truck, finding out I have severe lactose intolerance (eating no diary sucks!) mowing my massive backyard for the first time (took 2 hours!) enjoying the 80 degree weather we have been having in Nebraska! Grilling, going to my college hometown to partake in "fake patty's day" and get 3 sheets to the wind! (also had the best corned beef and cabbage ever while there), making jewelry for my shop nearly everyday, my life has been pretty interesting...hope to continue blogging as I have done before, the dust in my life has seem to settle down, I'm generally healthy, my husband in good health again, both cars are driveable. Life is good at the moment!
