Too much time and money?
I sure don't feel like I have too much time on my hands right now (does anyone ever?) but I've still managed to spend (waste?) plenty on online games.
For this you'll need a steady hand. (Found at tyn)
For this you'll need good eyes. My highscore is 8662 10634 18519 23084 (I finished the whole thing!). Can you beat that?
More time killers.
Now that you've spent some time on those games, you might as well spend some money on these.
Or you can start saving up for a trip to Doylestown in PA and/or Marseille (France). Why? Because two nice ladies emailed me last week and placed two wholesale orders! So soon enough you'll be able to find Cornyness items in a shop in Doylestown and in another one in Marseille!

New belongings!
Went downtown with Robert this afternoon and I came home with these:
A cute and very inexpensive necklace from H&M. I like the beads and I love the tassle!
New glasses! It was about time I got new glasses, been using the same ones for four years and they were a little bit scraped too... But I'm going to be extra careful with these ones because they are Prada glasses! *joy*
And something that I don't have a picture of but am happiest about. My newly pierced ears! I finally got enough courage to get them done again. I got them pierced at the same place where Robert had his 8mm holes done. Actually, it was kind of thanks to Robert that I didn't chicken out. I got them done for the first time three years ago but had major problems with them already from the beginning. Finally gave up after suffering from a year long infection and went to see a doctor. She gave me this medicin, took out my earrings for good and scolded me a bit for waiting so long to come and see her. But now the holes are back! Hopefully without the infeciton this time...

More creations
School has just started. That means less time for crafts...
These are some stuff I made last week that I just added to my shop, a necklace, some dangling earrings and a fun pendant.
This is something I "made" for myself. It feels funny to say that I made it since all I did was buy the pendant at the beadstore and put it on this silver chain I had laying around. I'd been looking so long for a not-too-expensive pendant like this and this one is even in my favorite color!
Anyway, as I was saying, school has started now again but I will still make stuff and update as much as I can.

Creations
Okay, this is (sort of) a long post with (sort of) many pictures. Ready? Go!
This is a pendant I made for myself. It's a cluster of beads that I strung together with some wires. I like it a lot but I wish I had added a couple (two) small yellow beads too...
Another pendant I made for myself. The little fishy is so cute!
This one is also for myself heh. I was going to sell one of these fish pendants but I can't seem to part with any one of them at the moment. I think will buy more of these fishy beads and make some I can put up for sale.
I've been spoiling myself a bit but I haven't neglected my shop entirely. These are some promotional cards I made for Cornyness Shop. I folded some origami dresses and glued them onto these small cards that I cut out from thicker paper.
The inside of the cards...
...and the backside.
This little fella, who's even a teeny bit smaller in real life, is made of Fimo. He has travelled safely all the way across the ocean to my cousin in San Jose. I was sending him a pair of Panda-head earrings for his girlfriend and wanted to give him something too. And since he likes turtles but already have a real one I figured I could make and give him a fake one.
On to something that isn't made by me but is mine:
A picture of my eye taken by Robert. The colors are manipulated in Gimp (Photoshop) of course. In real life my eyes only consist of one boring color, brown. Anyway, isn't this cool?!
Now that you've looked at these pics your eyes are probably somewhat tired. Take a moment and do some eye-exercise! Click on the bottom TV pic and do like the girl. If you don't know how to brush your teeth you might as well watch the instruction for how to do that on the same website. Click the upper TV pic to do so.

Fun with glass beads and wire
Last night and this morning I actually managed to keep my fingers away from the GBA (see previous entry) long enough to make some new jewelry and add them to the shop.
These are the newest addition to Cornyness Shop: a ring, a pendant and three pairs of earrings.
This is something I made for myself. The ring itself is suppose to be the ground. Above the ground there's a flower, a berry and some leaves and under the ground there're roots and seeds. Not something you'll see at the first glance I guess but I like it.
Now I'm off to finish some orders and then, Harvest Moon time!

Let's play!
I've borrowed this GameBoy Advance from a friend and have been playing WarioWare Inc and Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town so much that I haven't even made anything with my new beads yet! So you can imagine how addictive these two games are.
I've played Harvest Moon on PS2 and on these emulators before but I had never heard about WarioWare Inc until very recently (two days ago). It's a really cool game consisting of lots of cool minigames e.g putting out a fire, eating a banana, taking picture of a flying squirrel, brushing someone's teeth, picking someone's nose... If you have a GBA (or know someone who you can borrow from) you _must_ get this game!

New belongings
I would be lying if I said I wasn't materialistic. I love getting new things. It's only Tuesday but I have already managed to expand my collection of stuff this week.
Warning: There's an excessive use of exclamation marks in the following text
First of all, the surprise gift from Poppy has finally arrived! A cute little knitted fingerpuppet! It sure was worth the waiting. We actually started thinking the package was lost, but I'm so glad it's not! Lost mail makes me so sad.
I bought this cool necklace at Snapcrafty and I'm so happy with it! It's called "Love predictor" and it sure is one! The words 'YES' and 'NO' are written along the edges of the heartshaped pendant and you can actually spin the arrow! [Exclamation marks overload]
Some of the new yummy beads I got from this newly opened store. I love the beads and the store so much! I've been there twice already, once earlier today, and I'm already longing to go back and spend more money!
This isn't actually a new "thing" but it's tonight's dinner I made for Robert and me, and since I just ate it it's new to my stomach.

Happy New Year!
Wow, I can't believe another year has gone by. So fast... Anyway, happy new year everyone! Hope this year will bring you all twice as much joy and happiness than last year did!
I can start by bringing you some new items I've made. They are all available at Cornyness Shop who's, by the way, turning two years old today.
