Recycled Book Bracelets!

Happy October! I have been keeping very busy making lots of new bracelets featuring recycled classic books, fun popular books, vintage sheet music and other goodies. It's my new favorite thing to make! I have a few in my etsy shop and will be adding many more soon. Look for Catcher in the Rye, Chronicles of Narnia, Edgar Allen Poe, Les Miserables and several others in the coming weeks.

You can find Space Oddities and Glitter Workshop wares at the Dane County Farmers' market for a few more Saturdays (as long as the weather holds out!) so stop out and check out our newest creations!

Holiday shows are just around the corner! My first show will be The Crafty Fair, November 13 at the Goodman Center in Madison. Save the date! It's going to be a fantastic show!

1000 etsy sales + autumn love + giveaway!

I love autumn. I adore the leaves crunching under my feet, the chilly nights, apple orchards, pumpkin patches, scarves, fabulous produce and everything else that comes along with it.

Last week on the first day of autumn,  Space Oddities reached 1000 sales in our etsy shop! We are having a giveaway to celebrate. Comment here to tell us your favorite thing about autumn and you'll be entered into a drawing to win a Space Oddities gift package that will include an art print of your choice, an assorted button pack, a pair of hair pins and several other surprises.

I'll choose a winner randomly from posts here and on facebook on Monday October 3rd. Happy autumn!

New things!

I recently started making big, bold headbands featuring some of our favorite designs. I love how they are turning out!

I'm also continuing to make lots of fun hair pins. These are from a vintage book about bicycles, a vintage dessert cookbook, and an old comic book!

 

And I have also started making bracelets. Here are a couple of my recent favorites.

Harry Potter!

Vintage cookbook bracelet.

We will continue to be down at the Dane County Farmers' Market on Saturdays through October with all of these goodies and more! You can also check new items in our etsy shop. We are adding new items daily. 

Have a wonderful week!

Good things.

The last couple of months have been a whirlwind. Here are some of the highlights!

Hello June!

Wisconsin has decided to skip over spring and head right into summer. It's hot and humid, folks! After a couple of wacky weather months, I'm thrilled to have a decent forecast for the weekend. I'm especially excited because this means nice weather for the Dane County Farmers' Market!

We are excited to be back at the market for our second season. This year we are happy to be sharing a booth with The Glitter Workshop!You can find us at the market every Saturday through October (weather permitting) and we will constantly be adding new products. You can follow Space Oddities on Facebook for more regular updates on new items and market specials!

This week I have been busy printing a few of my favorite designs on kids shirts and bibs. I even convinced my 4 year old to model for me! Here are some new shirts you can find at the market this weekend. These are also available in our etsy shop!

I adore this 'Raining in my heart' design. It's a little retro, a little moody, and a lot cute.

And here is Jette modeling 'My favorite robot.' which I think is perfect for girls or boys.

And this week Naomi has been busy making beatuful garden markers. They are just $8! Come early for the best selection!



We hope to see you out at the market this summer!

Life is good and busy, just how I like it. A quick update on what's up in CraftTherapyLand, yes? 

Jette had her first ballet recital last month and it was so adorable I can't even believe it.  Here's a photo of the kiddos together just after the recital.  

Spring. It's here. The kids are so happy to be able to play outside now that the weather has slowly started to get decent. They are as sweet and willful as ever and make my every day more special.

I have been keeping very busy between my day job, helping out at Glitter Workshop, the kiddos, the farmers' market (which I have not been to much yet...but there is a LOT of the season left!) and everything else that life throws at me. Unfortunately I have not made a lot of new products lately. I have a few new ideas that I have been wanting to try but I just haven't found the time to pull it together. 

I have been making more fun hair pins. 

And some other assorted goodies. But what I really want to do is get printing some new designs! And old designs. I have been itching to get the Gocco out. Hopefully my next post will be gocco related. And new design related. We shall see what time allows. 

Happy spring, friends!!

Literary Hair Pins!

Something new! Pretty little bobby pins made with itty bitty bits of text from classic and not so classic literature. Great one-of-a-kind gifts for bookish types. I started listing just a few pairs in my etsy shop and there will be many more coming soon!

I'm looking for suggestions on classic books that would make fun bobby pins. Something that you would recognize from just a tiny scrap of text or one word. If you have any suggestions, please do share!
