The Chaos Garden

Just life and stuff, nothing incredibly profound. But I haven't been around and I realize it. Sorry guys. :(

Guys, Simply Stacie's last two days of the contest are up. Day Six is an entry for telling her where you like to wear perfume. Day Seven is an entry for telling her how much you pay for the perfumes you love.

I love to wear my perfume at the base of my jaw, below my ears and the insides of my elbows (as I used to be a cook and washing your hands meant perfume was wasted on your wrists) and in the hollow at the front of my throat. And I have paid upwards of $50 for some of my favorite BPAL scents in the past. So I think that's a safe range. :)

Anyway, check out her blog, she has a bunch of other new giveaways hosted as well.

Hey guys, check out Day Four and Day Five of the Perfume Cream giveaway that Simply Stacie is hosting.


Also check out the Mineral Basics giveaway she's hosting.

Check 'em out!

Fyberspates has updated her shop with some new rovings. The one that catches my eye is - by no surprise - a SCRUMPTIOUS variety. This time the colorway is listed as "Cheerful". Just take a look at this yummy roving.



I want to lick it. Again with the licking fiber impulse.

In other news, I finally found the perfect accent for a project I've been contemplating for a good long while now - the better part of a year. Fire Mountain Gems is one of my favorite beading websites to look at, but I'm not a beader so I rarely contemplate buying from them. This time, however, they had just what I needed and it sang to me. Once the project is completed, I will post pictures.

Me, starting a new craft variation? Yeah. Beaded knitting, here I come. :)

Hey guys, Amy from In the Night Kitchen is hosting a giveaway. Comment for a chance to win a handmade porcelain bead. Or 20% off in her Etsy shop, for second prize.

Hey guys, Simply Stacie is hosting a "Giveaway a Day" themed serious of giveaways.

The first day's is here: Day One.

The second day's is here: Day Two.

The giveaways are for items from The Cream Perfume Company. Day one, you let Stacie know what is your favorite product offered on the site to enter for a chance to win the item of your choice. Day two, let her know what your favorite scent(s/combinations) are.

I'm really liking the Raspberry des Champs description: "A rich opening with a mixture of raspberry accord and bitter almonds, givnig way to a delightful combination of rosewood, mimosa and rose. Finishes with the always popular vanilla."


Roses are my favorite flower and all-time favorite floral scent (my other two faves being amber and leather); and I have a special affinity to Rosewood. So yeah, even if the raspberries weren't a dead ringer for a win, that combo would have it. Even if I am a touch shy of the vanilla - which sometimes goes baby powder on me.

So anyway, go check it out and good luck!!!
