Oh my gosh.
That’s about all I have to say about that right now.

Hi!

Sorry. I’m bad at keeping up with things.. like blogging. We’ve kept ourselves busy. I play Guild Wars a lot, I still make cards, posting pictures in my Style Diary, watching hours of tennis, but mainly I’m just working on getting my life on track.

Ebraunnagel is making several bags, working with vinyl for the first time. She’s busy experimenting with new styles of bags, projects old and new. Also, she’s making more wearable items too – if you haven’t seen her skirts, you’re missing out! She made me a gorgeous one a few months ago, I’ll have to take pictures later. I really like this one also.

Crafts aside, I really want to move to Boston! I’m sick of living in the same place I grew up, I want to experience something different for awhile.. something that will terrify me and make me grow up and know what it really is to be an adult. I feel like I’m not really learning anything about life here at home, and if I were to move out I wouldn’t learn anything still because if I ever got in trouble or lost or something, my mom’s here to save me. Although I love her, I need to be on my own.

And tennis.. tennis has been surprising me just a bit lately. I’ve watched a ton of it, hours and hours, and half the time the people I expect to win don’t come out on top. Yet.. Safin’s making this amazing comeback and I’m really looking forward to seeing how he’ll be playing next year. I love Safin. I’m so into it we even have the Tennis Channel, hah.

For awhile, I wanted to go to college to be something interesting and different like an anthropologist. Of course I was interested in the subject, but it wasn’t enough to keep me enrolled. I’ve changed my major several times, and I’ve grown tired with watching the list grow. I figure I should go back and get that boring (and useful) business degree so many other people end up with.

Still planning to update!

I realize in the last post I mentioned my mother’s blog.. but that doesn’t mean I’m done with this one. I’ll still be posting items that both my mom and I have made here!

Hello dears.

It seems the lovely bag maker at ebraunnagel (my mother!) has created a blog of her own. If you’d like to read about what she’s up to, visit her here:

A few months ago, we both had things up for sale on ebraunnagel at etsy, and it was a mother-daughter project. Now I just help with decision making and figuring out what works instead of making things on my own (I don’t really have the time for art/craft now that I work all the time), but someday I’ll get back into it.

Anyway. The shop has some new things up, lots more on the way, and it’s not just bags. She has lately been reconstructing clothing and I think it’s going well so far. Check it out if you want!

I bought some lovely things off Etsy lately for myself. Best site ever, seriously.

Sprocket!

Our awesome dog is now gracing the front of blank cards. They’re being sold in sets of five, but if you want more or less, just contact us. If you want to cheer someone up, that face is sure to do the trick. Just want to say hello? Everyone loves a cute puppy.

Cute isn’t everything.

Considering we aren’t very into cute things ourselves, it’s kind of interesting the majority of the fabrics we buy are cutesy. We’ve made some wonderful (and secret!) new items which will be released later this month that are more our style. Although we’re beginning to focus on less cute items, you can expect to see more of the style we’ve been creating as well as this new and secret stuff.

Also! Apologies for the lack of updates both on this blog and in the shop. We both work long hours and have been busy with so much within the past month that we haven’t had time for as much crafting as we’d like. The creating has become a daily thing yet again though, so you can expect to see a lot more from us soon.
