But you know those necklaces? With the crazy fabric rosebuds and the ric-rac and the cuteness but the holy price tag shock?
You do?
As soon as I took this I realized the bud placement was lopsided and fixed it. So, it's prettier now. Just use your imagination.
Well, I sort of made some. Or, like, a ton. I made a ton. Also hair clips and headbands and broaches. Because, that hot glue gun, man. It's hard to stop.
I tell you, he is dreamy. And dangerous! How do you turn down that kind of love, man? How?
Also it is dark here practically all day, making attractive photos almost impossible, and holing up and making another rosebud is a good way to stave off the S.A.D.-ness and depression.
And the hot glue gun, at least he loves me. I can tell he does.
Do you know what S.A.D. is?
You do?
Another rosebud will also keep my face out of a bowl of Cocoa Pebbles for a good ten minutes, at least. Isn't that something? The hot glue gun cares about my figure!
Will you take look at the boob discrepancy happening in these two photos?
Items in this photo are smaller than they may appear on your computer screen. (Much, much smaller.)
It really could make a person cry.
And anyway, do you know how hard it is to get a decent photo of a necklace while you are wearing it?
You do?
Oh.

As I am now up to my eyeballs in rosebuds,
I have but one question:
If I sold,
On the cheap,
Would you buy?

Indeed I do know what Seasonal Affective Disorder is. Just gave a presentation on it where I intern. They use light therapy to treat it. Did you know that? Works wonders for some in the winter months.
You had me chuckling over the boob commentary. On the bright side, when you are older you won't have saggy chesticles. That is how I look at my near extinct boobs.
Hey! I gave you an award! Swing on over to my blog to accept it!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your posts!
No S.A.D. here in sunny South Africa (well, very little anyway).
ef that glue gun but GOD he helps make beautiful things....catch 22. ha! in LURVE with that necklace. serious, it's amazing. and i would totally buy. :)
why don't you send one to www.whatkatiewore.com and she can feature it on her blog. You never know - it might stir up some Christmas business.
Those little roses are so cute! I like hair clips, by the way ...
Yup - I'd buy.
when i saw that first picture small in my dashboard, i thought they were cupcakes :/
but those are adorable!
Ummm....as a member of the big bust line society, I would love one, but it would have to be a single bud, maybe two at best. When ya got the big boobs, it's best to go understated in the neckline area.
would also like a headband/or clip or the like.
I wish I was craftier!
As for that glue gun non-sense, listen to this one, my little sister, for halloween, thought it would be a good idea to "hot glue" a bracelet for her costume to her arm! The dork burned the crap outta her self....and she and her glue gun are joined at the hip, it's not like she didn't REALIZE how hot those things are....so HOW hot gluing YOURSELF to fabric ever seemed like a good idea, that I'll never know!

Gorgeous! :) I'd buy were I not so broke. :/
Have you thought of putting just one rosebud on a chain like a pendant? That would be really cute too. :)
I also thought they were cupcakes in the first picture, and thought to my self "yummy".
Upon closer inspection I still find them yummy, I would absolutely buy one, or two :-) Love 'em
your jugs look AWESOME
I too thought they were cupcakes. But honestly? I'm happier they're rosebuds. I'd buy some hair clips and/or headbands, if you got 'em!
I have a friend who has S.A.D. In the winter months, he uses light therapy, as Lars said. I've always wanted to see his special light setup, but been too shy to ask.
Sorry, no can do. I am also in the BBLS with HeatherLynn. I ALSO thought they were cupcakes at a glance!Yep. I know what SAD is. I lived in Alaska for a year, and I hung Christmas lights in my room all winter long to help cheer me up. The sun rose at 10 and fell at 4 and I worked 9-5. :( I have really appreciated the sunshine here for the past several days, and while some may be missing the snow for Thanksgiving, that would not be me.
OH! And how about Donny Osmond winning DWTS! Woo-Hoo! They sure dragged that out, but hey, you can watch the glorious moment online if you missed it. He's such a good man!
yes, yes, and yes! :) love you!
I WOULD BUY! You think about headbands too, for both big people and small. Thanks
P.S. I love you and blog stalk you like whoa- keep up the good work
very cute! love it! I would love a headband. get some of those made and I would buy 5 :-) could you put one on a ponytail holder? not like an ugly, outdated scrunchie but more like on an elastic? just a thought...might be cute.
Hey
Love your post! I'm new to blogger and looking around on new blogs. I want a necklace!
I would love to get some hair clips! Or even some buds on a headband! Love them!!
Very cute! Crafting and cleaning help keep that S.A.D. away for me!
Totally cute! I want a hot glue gun! And I have to admit that the first picture, before my brain focused, made me think of cupcakes! :) I smiled.
Guys! Thanks for the ideas and the support! I'm on it!
Gillian - that is a CUTE blog, thanks for sending it my way!
Natalie, I've wanted a rosebud something to wear ever since I first saw one on the interweb. Except I don't wanna pay through the nose, see. So when you say "If sold on the cheap, would you buy?" the answer is, of course AYCH YES! Probably in a few varieties. Keep me posted, you!
Umm, I think I kind of understand what you're saying about Mr. Gluegun. I burn the nerves right off my fingertips every time I use one, but, dang, Mr. Gluegun does the job like nothing else can, doesn't he? -The fortunate thing for my fingers is that I'm not uber crafty. But see, that's also the unfortunate thing for my soul. I'd love to be crafty...
Great post. Again.
Happy Thanksgiving, NatTheRatPack! :)
FYI I have effectively "wasted" an entire afternoon at work reading your blog! I hold you entirely responsible if I get fired :)! Very entertaining! As for the baby stuff... I.Know. Hang in there! Happy Thanksgiving!
I would totally buy.
beautiful necklaces,
i would toatlly buy, on the cheap :)
Is that first picture intentionally meant to look like the frosting on top of cupcakes?
natalia- That's totaly what i thought it was too!!!! and natalie- i would SOOO buy that! it's so cute! i am excited now.
Oh, but I would buy! Necklaces and headbands. True story.
I thought it was cupcakes too! The boob thing is really quite a discrepancy and I know how you feel. Just wait until your little one gets here (WHEN it happens :]) then you will have some! Great job on the roses, are you going to post a how to?
Would definitely buy! I too thought they were cupcakes on top! *note to self* invest in hot glue gun...
you are very talented!
Oh i want this on my christmas dress! Really!
Too late to order from you now, so maybe i should try to make some instead. But these are beautiful. :)
