yikes,I did it. Following what I took to be some serendipitious signs and nudges from the universe...
I've finally invested in a sewing machine of my own.
(!!!!!!!)

I'd been searching online for sewing classes in the area and found none. My 'secret' projects still laying in a box at home...waiting and being put off..again and again...Daily I dream of Missycakeland and CoopaCraft...of the sewing cooperatives around the world...of designs for products, etc.

Then recently, after dropping off an artwork ( read more )

I finally finished some of the vintage button mandala rings I had in progress in the craft room...

This one is Royal Raku:

I'm in love with this mandala ring that came together in the wee hours of the night.
It is the jewel in the lotus. om mani padme hum.
assembled out of select vintage buttons, coin, and charms...the most tranquil watery blue....a little bit of peace and meditation on your finger:)...

microverse mandala temple ring.The Universe and your path is on your finger. Navigate with love.

The word mandala is from the classical Indian language of Sanskrit. Loosely translated to mean circle; a mandala is far more than a simple shape. It represents wholeness, and can be seen as a model for the organizational structure of life itself--a cosmic diagram that reminds us of our relation to the infinite, the world that extends both beyond and within our bodies and minds. - from mandalaproject.org

I love when these things are somehow made 'through' my hands. Suddenly there's this ring...that feels really Right...the parts find eachother and seem to have always belonged together..and I'm just helping that along somehow and making something for someone else..I'm quite in awe of that. Wonder who it's meant for. missycakeland.

Ok here we go- it'll still be a long while before the main site opens (in which I hope to feature some select sweettreat inspired items from my ever talented friends....;)?) and a lot more stuff I've got in various stages of (yikes could it work?) progress...but I've dipped my toe in with putting a few samples up my crafting obsessions in an Etsy shop! woohoo- h0w fun! The Church of Craft meetings have been SO inspiring and encouraging...it's like everything that was holding me back for so long was sprayed away with just a few supportive gatherings.:)*big sigh* Sure I'm still nervous about having even more obsessions...but thankyou.

SO without further ado...some missycakeland accessory sweetness for you!:
