New addition to the hobby cycle...oy

I have quite a few hobbies, like knitting, crocheting, drawing, and molding clay. When I get bored of one hobby, I just start on one of the other ones. As you can imagine this results in countless unfinished projects, and a continual cycle of things to do. At least I have a never-ending supply of entertainment!
So today I found an old stack of origami paper, and I immediately got to work folding away. It brought back so many memories of living in Okinawa! I used to be obsessed with origami when I was young, and I had folded creations all over the house. Anyways, I cranked out a few magic stars and cranes, then I attempted one I've never done before......The kawasaki rose!!! dun dun dunnnnn! That took about an hour...probably the hardest one I've ever done. Needless to say, my room is now filled with origami paper and there is a new addition to the hobby cycle!
Here are a few links for origami instructions:

Etsy Addiction!

So, I am completely addicted to Etsy right now. If you've never heard of it, it's a website where crafty people/artists can sell their creations. You can scour the whole site and find anything from paintings and plushies, to purses made from chip bags! Here are some of my favorite shops:
1.Audreyandgrace...I was really into 50s dresses for a while, and that's when I found this shop! Their dresses are really adorable and swingy.
2.Finkgifts...This seller has a ton of victorian-style pocket watch necklaces. I even bought one from them!
3.Plushism...They have majorly cute camera pouches and ipod cases!
4.Mlleclorofil...This seller has very pink and girly accessories. Their earmuffs are the best!
5.Coffishop...They sell very realistic looking food jewelry, and it's all made out of clay.
6.Anapaulaoli...She has alot of patterns for crochet plushies and she sells some of the plushies in her shop. She even wrote a few pattern books!
