Agnes Welcomes You...

Be what you would seem to be -- or, if you'd like it put more simply -- Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.~The Duchess

I've Got Swag.

For you. Swag for you. They'll be in the Crafty Wonderland goodie bags on December 10 & 11. Gotta get there early though!
Psst...I little known secret is that you get one of these goodies when you buy something. So if you can't drag your lazy ass out of bed early enough to get a goodie bag you can always buy cool shit & then get free cool shit. I know, I know...I'm a genius. You're welcome.

Crafting Crafting Everywhere, But Not a Drop To Drink

So because I have overzealously applied for every craft show from here to Seattle, I am now furiously crafting new baubles for your wearing pleasure. I've managed to find some pretty weird crap over the last year & for some reason I've decided all those pieces need to be made NOW. So if you like weird shit, it's your lucky day....

All this stuff is on Etsy! Shop away, fine readers...

And yes, you're damn right that's an Indian in drag. Wanna fight about it?

Nice Little Things At Little Things

Have I mentioned that you can get Agnes swag at the cutest store ever in NW Portland? Yes. Yes I have. Which means that all you assholes aren't listening to me ever. Which I can't blame you for but I certainly can judge you. Which I am doing. Right now.

Anyhows, I went & restocked/replaced some baubles down there so now you can go see them & buy them & junk. Which you might as well do because they go super fast & there's other cool schtuff you can by. Like cards & socks & other jewelry (which you can buy & I won't hate you even though you're a traitor) & a ton of other cute things made by local artisans. Which, if you're all anti-Wall Street or whatever is pretty good I think.

Don't know where the shop is? Oh, sure, let me do EVERYTHING for you. Gahd.

Little Things is HERE...go show some love.

Some of the baubles featured aaaaaaaare:
That little gem above is Ferdinand. He's perfect in every way.


There are also some new bullet pieces to go drool over. Like kinds with crystals & chains & stuff. You love it.

Someone Other Than Me Took Pictures Of Stuff I Made.


No really I swear.

So, here's the scoop. Back in the day, before I was praised for my crafty skills, I used to be a dork. No, seriously, I know, you'd never know it today. I made my own earrings before it was cool, wore stretch pants (before they were called leggings & had stirrups), and had surprisingly hairy arms.

Because of this I guess you could say I was unpopular. Whatever. The popular kids are all fat now & have stupid kids who won't be popular meanwhile I'm a hot bitch with no responsibilities aside from a fat nugget cat named Cletis. I'd say this was a fair trade.

THIS IS BESIDE THE POINT. My point is that despite all of these dorky type things I still had this cool friend named Hillary. And she was crafty & like 10 feet tall & we were soulmates & I loved her so shut up. Well we both grew up & now we're both hot crafty bitches who do crafty things & blog about it.

God this is seriously going nowhere.

Long story long, Hillary is a stylist/crafter/collector/ninja & borrowed my baubles for a shoot.
The set was shot by Atlas & Elia Photography, who is also run by a crafty chick I went to school with. WE'S A FAMILY. You should definitely go check her site.

Hillary also has a blog filled with all types of crafty goodness. She gets featured all the time which means she's superior to me but that's ok 'cause in 6th grade we were both dorks. Anyway you should visit to see the rest of the shoot & also her crafty-type projects.

Holy Crap Balls I Got Into Urban Craft Uprising

Holla!! For those of you that know, I applied for this thing twice already. REJECTED. Needless to say my already rampant insecurities were less than pleased about the prospect of getting shunned from the cool kids lunch table again. BUT this time around the craft gods decided I was worthy so Agnes is heading to Seattle!! Thank god I have a super hot boyfriend with a car that's not a piece of crap Subaru...it's a FANCY Subaru with butt warmers. And trunk space. Everything I just said is irrelevant except the trunk space part but I feel like it's important to declare somehow. Moving on...

I'll be here...December 3 & 4. Come buy stuff so I can afford my hotel room.
If you'd like more information on the show like all the other awesome vendors, go HERE...

The House That Agnes Built

This house exists. Wrap your mind around that people. No, you can't have the address because it's mine & I'm selfish. Plus if you went there & then took cooler pictures I'd look like a real asshole.

These lovely shots of my darling Emily will eventually be used for a lookbook & website updates but for right now they're just cool. Enjoy!
