vintage + a pom pom

pom poms have made their way back into fashion.
i have put together a vintage chain and a pom pom to make a unique necklace.
make a statement by wearing this piece.
this makes another great stocking stuffer.
in my shop now

process

i love seeing all the work that goes into a purchased item that i have gotten.

when you buy handmade, it means so much more.

a person took the time to make something and then pass it along to someone else to enjoy.

i take pride in every package sent out, i want it to be like you are opening a gift from somebody.

that somebody being me.

this is the process that goes into each order.

and i love visiting the post office each day.

yes, i go there every. single. day.

if you have purchased an ozetta item from me, know that it is made with love and that i am working diligently on getting each order out.

and so the process begins...

christmas crafts

i'm working on some christmas gifts for my mom and sister, i worked and worked and only got one done in about an hour. i'm trying to fit things in between orders so that i can have things done before Christmas this year. last year i had school, worked full time, and had my etsy shop so it was hard getting to accomplish these type of things. i can't show a picture yet of what the completed project is, but i will later on during Christmas. my mom and sister read this blog.

hi mom!

hi amber!

=)

i hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, i sure did! it has come to an end way to quickly though.

see you tomorrow!

workin workin workin

this is me right now.

working on orders.

i don't seem thrilled, but this is my most favorite thing to do in the whole world!

oh, and i am listening to christmas music.

let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

BLACK FRIDAY

for anyone who does not like getting out into the madness on black friday, its a great time to shop on etsy!

there are several shops offering some sort of sale and mine is one of them.

i mentioned it yesterday, but have since changed the days. i added an extra day for those who might need it to decide what they want in my shop!

happy black friday!

happy thanksgiving! and free shipping!

i hope everyone is having a wonderful thanksgiving so far!
today we are having turkey, sweet potato casserole, dressing, cranberry salad, rolls, and apple pie (everything is homemade)!
oh, and check out my new large warmer in red to coincide with christmas of course!

*and, as my gift to you this holiday season, free shipping worldwide through sunday the 29th, start your shopping now so you can get your ozetta item on time for christmas!*

shopping diaries

i'm really into plaids and thermal shirts, they put me into a frenzy.

i got these two plaids and sweater from the gap, i love the detail on the checkered black and white.

i also picked up some jeans, i have THE hardest time finding the right pair of jeans.

i'm short.

so yeah, the length on these?

26.

geeze, i didn't even know i was that short until i went to the shortest length available there.

oh well...

north pole city

this weekend we went to north pole city.

i got a few things, the nutcracker among one of them.

we also got a few christmas ornaments and of course i had to get something for my sister and mom to put in their gift bags.

each tree had a certain theme on it so it was easy to find the ornament that you would like.

they also had a miniature train for children to ride that would go through tunnels.

they had the entire place decked out and the music in the background made christmas feel like it was right around the corner...

which i guess, it already is!

have you started your christmas shopping?

vivalamoda

the editor of vivalamoda contacted me a couple of weeks ago to be featured in their online magazine and of course i said yes! it is very exciting for my large warmer to be featured in a fashion magazine among many other talented artists. check out the magazine online now, they have some awesome christmas ideas! i hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far!

the hooded newtok-barley

a lot of customers have been asking for a hooded item. so, i re-designed the large warmer to become hooded and now it is even warmer (the large warmer is still available). i crocheted a different pattern so that it would be thicker as well. this piece is highly versatile (perfect for the cold winter ahead), and i had so much fun trying it on and all the different ways to wear it. i also left the ends open so that the piece could be worn even more differently. check it out in my shop now.

christmas sachets

my mom and i designed these lavender sachets and they turned out so beautiful!

they would be wonderful stocking stuffers along with my tiny acorns and would match in a unique way. they are located in my moms shop, check them out!

2 movies in 2 weekends

Congratulations! Your Tickets Were Purchased Successfully.

so, great news!

this weekend we went and saw a christmas carol, easton did very well!

it was such a great movie and we saw it in 3-d. when it was snowing it looked as though the snowflakes were lightly falling onto your skin. and when it was a scene from a window it was like you were the one looking outside from the room itself...it felt as though you were actually there. that was my first 3-d movie so i was pretty excited. nick and i walked into the theater and i wanted to crack up because everyone looked so funny with the big black glasses on, wearing them like its no big deal. that is what i like. who cares? its cool to wear 3-d glasses.

when the movie was over nick and i walked out of the theater, and me...well, i had a slight bounce in my step and i just wanted to shout out bah humbug in a merry way!

and because easton did very very well,

that means....

we get to go see new moon next weekend! yay!

i already reserved the tickets online and i am anxiously waiting for the weekend to arrive.

2 people, 2 movies in 2 weekends.

acorn ornaments

here is what i am so excited about! my tiny little acorn ornaments that are great for hanging on your christmas tree, tying on packages, or putting them in gift bags. they each measure about 1 1/2 inches with a real acorn top straight from nature itself. any squirrel would love these tiny little acorns! in my shop now.

tube necklace

i added a new necklace to my shop!

they are fun to make and great to wear. i have been wearing this the past couple of days, i don't want to part with this one! its in my favorite color and its so light and versatile that i don't ever want to take it off. i've already received a lot of compliments on it and i am very flattered because i made it. =) i normally don't keep things for myself that i have created, i always give to others first...so then i don't have time to make myself anything.

but, i have to keep this.

did i mention that they would make perfect stocking stuffers?

well! they would!

i also have something exciting to share tomorrow that i have had in the works for a couple of weeks. you may not think its huge, but i can't wait to share it!

hint: it would look so cute on your christmas tree!

oh, and i also need to make myself a manhattan bag!

i just made one for a great customer/friend of mine that turned out so awesome, i will share pictures later. it was her choice of colors and she decided how to place them. it turned out amazing!

i hope everyone has had a wonderful week, tomorrow is friday!

toggle scarf-navy

new in the shop!

the beaufort-linen

i am so excited about the newest creation in my shop!

i have been wanting to make this forever and finally got to squeeze it in!

its also in the beautiful linen color, so soft, so simple.

check it out in my shop and the many ways you can wear it!

a good day

the other day my sister and i finally received our package from haunt!

she had a lot of sales so it took her longer than she thought to get them mailed out.

we are so pleased with everything we purchased, and my absolute favorite are of course the lusts.

we were pretty excited that we ordered all of this because she announced that she will no longer be selling her items.

how sad!

so i think we were pretty fortunate to get some of her last things.

her packaging is amazing and even more amazing because she has thousands to do.

i hope you took advantage of buying her things one last time!

a christmas carol

after seeing how the grinch stole christmas with jim carrey and the polar express, i knew that a christmas carol would be just as good. i want to see it so bad but with a little one i don't know if we can! hopefully we won't have to miss out on such a great movie, especially for this time of year. please let me know if you see it and if it is worth seeing in the theaters! which, i am sure it is!

necklaces

i am currently obsessed with these necklaces by spinthread on etsy.

she won't have any new listings up until the 22nd of this month.

i will be sitting by my computer that day, i have got to get one of these.
