Scrumptious Scents & New Fabric

I*ve been working on the website a lot today. I was also busy last night. I had so much energy i didnt know what to do. Since i got my scent shipments in yesterday i decided to make my charms! Unique Charm now offers pumpkin pie, hazelnut truffle, vanilla, & cupcake scented charms! You can only find these on UniqueCharm.net. I may add a few to Etsy but i wont be adding them all. There are other seller's who make scented charms & i don't want to step on their toes or have anyone mad at me. So you can pick up your scented charms at UniqueCharm.net. I*ll also be taking custom order's, so if you*d like to have a scented treat made of clay you can go HERE to place your custom order. I also made a BEAUTIFUL clutch! The clutch is made of Amy Butler's Lotus collection. The pattern is the Tree Peony. It is 100% cotton on the outside & blue felt on the side. This clutch is beautiful. It has a velcro closure & is extremely roomy. Just a quick post for today. Justin is off work so him & I are going down to the lake in the apartment complex & feed the geese.

Newbie To UniqueCharm

I got a lot done last night...well this morning until 5am. I took a 3 hour nap yesterday when i got home from work & yeah wasnt sleepy until 5am this morning. So.. I did a mod on www.UniqueCharm.net. It was a little cluttered so i removed the links at the bottom of the page & added an extra section. I was going to make some new earrings but i ordered the wrong beads. OOPS! So i made a clutch instead. It*s SO roomy! You can fit, keys, cellphone, lip balm, handheld DS, whatever will fit in this. I did the elegant black & white design with butterflies. The clutch has a snap closure. I used my secret weapon to secure all the stitching since the clutch is 100% hand stitched by me. I use black & white felt threaded together with 100% cotton thread.

Casey*s Back....In Pink.

I haven*t had time to add anything new recently so i took it upon myself to make a new clutch. I LOVE it! It*s a Casey again, but this time she is tamed in "Wild Raspberry". This design is a slight bit different from Casey on the shirt, because like i said I want the designs to be unique & all be the same design but not look the same in every detail. Owl's are popular & Casey i think will be a big hit too. Although she is making her debut tonight she will not be added to etsy or UC.net until tomorrow afternoon. I have to take better pictures, not so great since the sun is going down. The clutch features Casey on the back of the clutch & a snap closure. The clutch is 100% hand sewn by me with 100% pure cotton thread & secured with my secret weapon.

You can use this clutch as a clutch or a pencil pouch. She is so cute & sure to be a big hit. If your interested in Casey before she is added you can leave me a comment & I*ll post the picture of the one shown here & list it for ya. If you*d like more than one then also feel free to leave me a comment & I*ll get those started right away. If that is the case please give me 2 days to get the pouches made. I*ll keep you updated on the photo's & send them to you before i ship your items to make sure they*re up to your standards. Clutch open: 6"h x 8.5"w
Clutch closed: 5"h x 8.5"w
Casey is $10.00 + $2.00 Shipping.

What To Do With Life's BIG Choices

Once again, I can*t wait for winter to get here. A few years ago i loved loved loved summer time. It*s been extremely to hot lately. This is North Carolina, it*s not supposed to get this hot. I was 105* with the heat index yesterday. I was sitting here thinking about my life choices after a long convocation with Justin. We will be 24 in December & I thought by now I*d be stable & I*d be well on my own. Justin & I discussed me maybe having to go back to my mom's house because of finical dispute. Which sucks because now I*ve finally got a chance to start my pastry chef classes, but now i have the choice between just working with my mom & moving back in, working with my mom & get another part time job without school to stay here. I don*t know what to do because i LOVE playing with cakes, chocolate, sugar sculptures, & other sugar goodness. It*s ALWAYS been more than a hobby, it*s my passion. I could actually turn "All 5 Senses" [ :) the name isnt copy written but please dont*t take it :) ] into an actual establishment instead of a whimsy dream. Now I*m stuck at these crossroads again & I don*t know what to do...

Three New Item*s!

I was busy last night! I made 2 new clutches. I also decided to add a new pendant to the shop because it seems to be very popular. If you dig the items you can pick them up at www.UniqueCharm.net if you don*t have an etsy account or at UniqueCharm.etsy.com. The clutches are very durable & the stitching is secured. I think you can never have to many clutches, bags or purses! ...Maybe thats why my closet is over flowing! I added a snap button closure to these two. I never thought about the aggravating sound velcro makes. lol Weird i know..I*ve just never thought about it. I*ve decided to do snap closures unless you sate you*d like velcro. Have a look!

You Cupcake! Clutch

I*ve been watching Jon & Kate + 8 since i woke up this morning. I love that show, those little kids are adorable! TLC had a marathon & I watched a lot & dvr'd ones i havent seen. Justin & i watched a few while sitting around. He watched Fantastic 4 while i promoted a little. He's so patient about that, he knows i love it. Since today was Memorial Day everything closed at the 6pm. I'd been begging him to take me to Michaels for days now (i cant drive his car it's a stick) so we leave at 5:30pm to get to Michael's, Staples, & the grocery store to get everything we needed. It sucked because i didn't have time to get everything at Michaels & i forgot half the stuff i went for. However, i did get more felt in a few different colors. I forgot the thread & other velcro & tags but at least i got enough to get me through tonight. I made the CUTEST clutch! I call it "You Cupcake! Clutch". I*m trying to come up with clever new names since i*m so "witty" and all. :) I thought about keeping it but it has to be shown to the world! So.. i WILL be making more but only with special orders. Check it out! Oh yeah - DON*T forget about my give away!

Story Of A Girl

It*s pretty outside, yesterday all it did was rain. I was so proud of myself though, i didnt take a nap at all! Justin & I didn*t go to bed until 4:30am this morning & we woke up around 10am. We don*t sleep anymore. I*m always thinking of new idea*s & hes always playing video games. I mus say I*ve become more involved with my site. Now that ive finally got it together i think it looks way better & its not to cluttered.

Last night i stitched a spring clutch. I love how these insulated clutches feel. They*re soft & they*re not flimsy at all. check it out:
I bought Justin a cute shirt yesterday. He was looking at it day before yesterday & he kept thumbing through the page so as a surprise i got him this. It*s adorable! This guy is awesome, we were his first customers! He sent stickers & he also sent me an extra shirt when i bought Justin this one. I think he will like it.

Cure My Tragedy

I have come up with an entirely different project to do. It*s going to be awesome! I*m coming up with new neat idea*s & personal designs. I*m excited! Now I*ve just gotta find the money to put these projects into play. But i can*t wait! Another thing i can*t wait for is my tax returns!! woohoo! I*ll be adding that to my down payment, which is most of my payment.

Justin is off tomorrow & I*m so happy! I*m so bored & so tire of being in this apartment i could scream. I*ve had so much time to sit around & think up new idea's. I can*t get another job until i get a car, I don*t know what i want. I want my car back! guhh! I*m so stressed out. This sucks

I*m trying to plain my meals for the day & i just noticed how much things add up! wow! I*m not on a diet by any means i*m just trying to eat right. What does that mean exactly? Do you count the fat grams, the calories....does the sugar matter? hehe I make myself feel better by eating little pieces of cake at a time :P Drinking 1 cup of coffee with only 7 spoonfuls of sugar & 1 cup of hot cocoa.

Sooner Or Later

I*m thinking about letting go of UniqueCharm.net. No one is buying anything from it, they*re using my etsy account. So I figure instead of spending that money each month I*ll use it do something else with, like explore into new stuf. I*m doing a poll, please let me know. I thought it would generate more sales than etsy because theres no need to sign up just go through paypal. I*m confused.

After a week the insurance company is finally giving Justin a rental car, my insurance company however is not. They are trying to claim my timing belt broke causing the accident. Uhh...no..the lady that came smashing into us was the cause. She has even told the adjuster the story of how it happened, everything matches up but they still do not believe this. I*m saving up the money for a down payment on another car. Will they even give me a loan if my insurance company wont pay off the car that got totaled? I thought this is why we have insurance, for situations like this.

I*m still doing my 50% off sale for a few more days. I*m trying to save up all the money i can, I*m expecting the worst! I did however have a creative streak & made these.
