Ya know something tells me I should work on a catalog but the human body can only take so much crafting honestly.
I wish it were different. Trust me when I say that!
Here's that new new for the Pochaloca store:
Available at: www.etsy.com/shop/pochaloca
I took a quick snack break in between all that and had me a homemade burger... Why they always gotta taste bomb tho? Then I get all Sleepy girl with it and cant finish my projects!! DAMNNN A GOODBURGERRR!!!!
And back to work...
I know there is probably some sort of confusion as to what the deal is with me promoting this Pochaloca thing, but here's the deal. I figure its not only cross-promotion of my (*dream*) store, but it also kinda shows you (other crafter folks) the bare bones of trying to make a dream come true. I'm not trying to be a big clothing line, just a store remembered for awesome shit at decent prices. I know that fellow crafters have to be mindful of JUST wanting to be an artist but TRYING to make a profit just to make it to the next project all while being your own P.R. and content creator and every other job description you could think of... So yeah. Thats it. Just sharing the fantastic finishes that I sometimes manage to create over on my Etsy store. I think if you follow me on Twitter you probably see some of my rants and raves that are non-crafty, but a lot of times those are my inspirations for the things in the store. LIFE. THE PEOPLE IN IT. THE GOOD. THE BAD. THE FUNNY. I love it all. I mean where do you find your inspirations? All over right!?
Back to crafting!
This shirt was an awesome find from the Peterson Auto Museum down in LA from a few years back and while I'm no longer a size small, I STILL haven't broken up with this baddie. Since Summer is right around the corner, I figure I should start revamping the closet with some sweet treats for the coming sticky sweat Verano is gonna bring!
GMa had hooked me up awhile back with some black fringe and this shirt was the perfect reason to use it before the kids kept it for THEIR craft supplies. Freakin cute ass kids... I love that it's a long fringe because while I'm no 20-something-croptop-wearing cutie, the long fringe on this allows me to pretend like maybe I might be a 30-something with a give-no-fucks-kinda-attitude hellbent on raising awesome kids. Maybe. Justttt maybe.
Since the sewing machine was out, the chug chug sound of the needle going up and down pushed me to make my baby girl some pants. Albeit, kinda ill-fitting, she loved these playful/colorful pants. She would wear them for me but I can't bare to see the tight ass elastic marks on her hips cause momma don't know how to measure correctly... Lol.
Instead of wardrobe I think I'll stick to just making pillow cases for now... I think I'm pretty substantial at it! Ha!
Last but not least I gotta share a couple of thrift store gems I came up on after a visit to the Merlin Bargain Center! That place is the beez knees people!! Folks out in the Pacific Northwest love them some Trading Outposts. Basically they are thrift stores with the awesome added feature of TRADING stuff as well. While I had nothing to trade, I did have a pocket full-o-greenbacks hanging out in the hubby's wallet so you know it was go time!
Peep this instructional mag I picked up for $3.50! Originally $2.00 it now re-sells on average for about $30! WTF?! It was like a magnet. I saw it and never stopped my walking towards it. We were meant for each other. How cool is the back cover though? You see all those other ones?!? I wish I had them all. It appears that it used to be a subscription thing back in the days that unfortunately no longer exists but the publishing house does and they make some cool drawing/art books.
Then the hubby found this and it was over. My heart was officially about to be left in this Bargain DREAM Center! Again another $3.00 and she was all mine. Mine indeed. I was kinda hiding it in my cart hoping no one was gonna stalk me thinking I'd put it back... cause thats totally something I would do!
Alright Fam! Thats it for now. I gotta work on some other posts that have been sitting waiting to be launched. I'll work on that banner so we look appropriate over here and you get back to making awesome stuff!!!
