Doughnuts Don't Get Enough Attention

The end has finally arrived!!! I am so excited and relieved to announce that this morning at about 10:00 I finished the semester! WOOOOT! Although -- it is quite difficult to get rid of that amped up feeling on trying to meet a deadline, I am trying to funnel some of that energy into crafting tonight!

Today I was trying to think of a theme for today's post and my very sweet tooth lead me to it! A local baseball team, the Lansing Lugnuts, used to have a slogan for some giveaway that was "Go Nuts for Doughnuts!" For some reason that was stuck in my head and I've been craving my favorite sprinkle doughnut all day!

I've scoured Etsy for the best in everything Doughnut!

But before we get to the doughnuts I wanted to include a clip of Homer Simpson and "mmm Doughnuts..." but I found something so much butter - Someone has combined every single "mmm..." statement from season's 1 -19 of the Simpson's... I giggled through most of this... Enjoy!

Now that you are properly prepared - onto the Doughnut's of Etsy!

These look good enough to eat and are certainly cute enough to wear! They come in a set of 6 from aroundtheworld


I was convinced these were real until I read the ingredients and noticed the shop name! LoveLeeSoaps, I think you'll have people trying to eat these!


These little studs are just so dainty and yummy looking! Glamasaurus has a bunch of other delicious treats to wear in stock!

Is this not the cutest key chain? Complete with the sprinkles and all! BeeLiciousCrafts has a great variety of cute crocheted goodies!

I imagine this lovely little print in a breakfast nook - or somewhere unexpected like in an office! What a great way to sweeten up your space from artonthemenu.

Finals, The Office, & New Listings

I took my first final yesterday for this semester and made it out alive! It was an essay exam. We were given 4 questions prior to the exam and they told us that only 3 of them would be on the exam. We would then have to write complete essays about 2. I chose 2 easier questions and one of the harder ones... To my surprise the 2 easiest were on the exam! I was done in 58 min... We were given 2 hours. It was a fantastic afternoon!

I then came home and worked on my drawing final for studio art class. We were to do an 8 hour drawing of 5 items that we found in the free section of Craig's List. For my drawing I selected the free section from the state of Alaska. I have an ugly lamp, 12 pine trees, a bike, picnic table, and various rocks. Here is my finished drawing:

I have thought about listing prints of some of my drawings on here. I am not sure how well that would go over. I sold a painting to someone in Canada once. Never a drawing though... hmm.


I also took photos of some new items I made for Etsy. I posted these two items today:

Set of 2 Blue Bobby Pins ^

^ Dickens on Butterflies Charm

ALSO! Exciting News! I won a tote in a posting contest by Rhody yesterday! I don't have the link to the bag anymore, but I will be sure to take photos and post them when it arrives!

When I was doing my drawing yesterday I had The Office on in the background. Might I suggest that everyone go to www.nbc.com and watch the episode "Casual Friday." HILARIOUS!
