manic monday...

I decided not to open my Etsy store just yet since Mr MJ & I are leaving tomorrow to up with his parents at the beach for a few days. Open store + nobody watching the shop = probably not good business practice. So sit tight & I will have things up & running there soon.

Here, my lovies, is what I was working on last TGI Fabric Friday afternoon:

It's a soft, stretchy bracelet that I made by weaving a few strands of t-shirt yarn together. Sewing up the ends & hiding them neatly was traumatic to say the least. & then I discovered the easy way to finish my bracelet. Am I the only one who learns everything the hard way? Also, I am IN LOVE with this bracelet. & am working on a necklace version of it. I'm not sure how it's going to translate from the vision of awesomeness I have in my head to the real life cotton braid I've got going on, but we shall see!

Mr MJ & I went to the ghetto mall yesterday yesterday so that he could purchase jeans while I scoured the over-priced accessories racks for ideas. My favorite find was an infinity scarf & I wanted it baaad but I wasn't about to pay $20 for something that I could make for $0 out of my favorite sweater [it met an untimely death by acquiring a rather obvious & unfixable hole]. So, my next project is a stripey, cocoa colored, up-cycled infinity scarf. & now that Mr MJ is back from Alaska with our nice camera, I'll be stealing it so I can put up nice, non-cell phone pictures of the sweater scarf & other projects.

Oh, hey. I'm on Facebook. I highly suggest liking Mahalia Jane here. Eventually, there will be deals only for my Facebook Fans!
