Etsy Front Page Feature + Outfit: Alaskan Raven

Yay! My Creamy Magnesite Necklace was on the front page of Etsy today! Unfortunately by the time I saw it the necklace had already sold (I mean, how dare someone buy something from me?!?!) so it wasn't there anymore, but I got a screen shot from CraftCult. It's in the 2nd row, third item.
This is actually my 5th time on the FP, but it's my first time since June 2010, so it was a pretty exciting feeling. It does make me feel a little bad that my Etsy shop is so neglected and barren, though. Maybe I could have made a few more sales from it if I was better stocked... oh well, too late now! Anyways, thank you to octopurse for including me in this treasury!
Since today was so gray and gloomy (it's kinda sorta sunny now, but it will doubtlessly be gray again in a few minutes in classic Oregon style), I opted for my favorite man sweater. No really, it's a man sweater. I also added a new necklace I made for myself last night, using a pendant that my sister got me almost a year ago for my birthday (at least I think it was my birthday... it might possibly have been Christmas 2009. Yikes!). When I came out this morning wearing it:
Mom: "I've never seen you wear a cross before!"
Me: "Silly mom, it's a raven, not a cross. How could you make such an egregious error?"*
*Not actually what I said
It's from my sister that is crazy enough to live in Alaska. Apparently it's made out of Musk Ox horn, so that's kind of neat, right? I mean, what's not awesome about getting to wear dead animal parts? Hmm... wait a second...
