Raige Missed Her B-Day!

I was just enjoying getting lost on my blog.

 {does anyone else ever do that? click on the 'you might also like' posts at the end of the blog and find old posts, old pictures, marvel at how good some posts are, how bad others are??}

And I realized Raige turned 4 this year!

 Past toddler years now. It is hard to believe it has gone by so fast.

 I noticed, too, that Raige has really grown. Particularly in the style of Toekini's. Check out THIS post, where I was celebrating one year. The Toekini's were different, thinner, more bead-y. 

 Should I go back to that style? 

 Or keep going in the thicker, wider direction?

 I guess there is room for both, right?

 What do you think?
Comments welcome and encouraged.
thanks.

    Happy Blog-o-versary! And I totally get lost on my blog... just did the day before yesterday, actually. It's an interesting form of ego-boosting (look at what I wrote! and all these posts!) and inspiration (hmm, I should follow up on that post idea) and contemplative review (wow, my writing has gotten so much better!).

    I think I do like the thinner style better overall, although some of the wide ones with patterns have been cool. I'm thinking I should commission a pair from you here in the next couple of months. My "color" seems to be either turquoise or blue (this post is some of my earrings and they all fit into this general color scheme: http://chimeraroad.wordpress.com/2010/06/04/earrings-pumpkin-currants/) and if I had a totem animal it'd be a butterfly.. what do you think?

      Thanks Dakota! It's good to know I am not alone in getting lost on my blog...

      Thanks for commenting on the style - I can easily go back to that, or more realistically add back to my collection of them. I JUST got some beautiful turquoise yarn for some gloves, but it is a thicker yarn so they would turn out a little thicker. BUT I bet I can find some think turquoisey bluey yarn. Will keep my eyes peeled for ya - whenever you are ready. and butterflies, no prob. just let me know.
      (ps. give me advanced warning, I seem to be slow these days in finishing custom orders.....)
      (btw, love your earring holder!!! thanks for sharing.)

Walking on Wednesday - My Money Tree is Dead! What does that MEAN??

It's not the kind of money tree you are thinking.  I wish it was. But it is not. It is technically a Pachira . The name supposedly comes from a story of it's origin.  A poor man prayed for money, and then found this "odd" plant. He took it home as an omen, and made money from selling plants grown from it's seeds. I bought it at a grocery store when we first moved back to the states, in 2004 . We had just moved in to our own house, after being displaced from Hurricane Ivan , and our new place needed some green. This was the biggest plant, for the least amount of money , at the grocery store. It said it was ' foolproof ' , and that is the right plant for me ! I thought the name was an omen too, hoping it would bring good fortune, meaning a little money .  It decorated our living room in New York for almost 6 years ! During that time, about 2 years after I bought it, I tried to root it from clippings just for fun. It worked , and I grew another money

Music Monday! Just Dance

A surprise suggestion, this song was. I asked a friend-who-is-family for some ideas, as I wanted to do a Music Monday this week, but was having trouble picking a song. Just didn't have any that felt right at the time. So this friend, who by the way is someone we (hubby first actually) 'met' online. Communicated for quite a while before actually meeting in person. But you just know when you click with someone and we are going on over 8 years of friendship, I believe, though it feels like we have known each other forever. She has been a wonderful addition to our extremely small circle of friends. She is 'auntie' to my kids, she is who I vent to almost on a daily basis via messages, she is always willing to listen unconditionally. And that, my dear readers, is hard to find these days. She became family. Source So after complaining I was not inspired by any songs, she said she would see what songs came on over dinner with her Mama, and give me some ideas. Her Ma

Toekini Anyone? It's GIVEAWAY time!

Raige Creations turns 1 year old next week. To celebrate, Raige is doing her FIRST GIVEAWAY! I can't believe a year has passed, and how far Raige has come. Certainly, the handmade community and its supporters had something to do with Raige not giving up, and Raige's customers are just the best! So to honor all you wonderful people, Raige is happy to give. What to give, you ask? 3 New Toekini's  TOEKINIS OF COURSE Toekinis have, by far, generated the most buzz at Raige Creations. It seems fitting to celebrate with one of them.  Every time I have Toekini's on my brain, I think "Life is good today" and this song from Music Monday  gets stuck in my head.with these lyrics: "I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand,  not a worry in the world ,  a cold beer in my hand. Life is good today, life is good today." But life is good today, even if it is not yet summer here, and to celebrate - the giveaway will be your CHOICE of TOEKINI.  Any
