Hello

Sorry I've been MIA for a while. Here's a picture of the hubster and I in Vegas on the 4th of July!

Who Would have Thought...

That Lil' ol' me would have sold Seven Hundred Items? I sure didn't. Thank you to all my great customers who make me feel special every time you don one of my handmade items into your Etsy shopping cart. So many of you are pals now too which I love!

Hope you're all having a great Spring, Happy First Day of Summer to you all! ;)

Keep Smiling!

We were at a party this weekend at a friend's house, it had a Mexican theme. Here's a clip of my husband's "photography" skills at work. Rated PG-13 for language. ;)

Spring Cleaning SALE Tomorrow!

I'm doing some Spring Cleaning and I've starting by cutting up the fabric that's still got life in it

and will be posting some cute little stacks of Fat Quarter-ish (18" x 22"-ish) sized pieces in the shop tomorrow May 3rd! I'll probably start posting them around noon MDT.

See you tomorrow!

Sunset

Fly me Away

Well, I'm off tomorrow to San Diego/La Jolla for a long weekend and to go to a beach wedding. Looking forward to some nice dinners, wine and walking around with my hubby. We'll be staying here, I think we've become hotel room snobs a little lately, but this was the most reasonable that suited us. For as little as we travel I think it's ok though. ;)

I'll be making more Pastiche Petal Pins upon my return next week, I think they're super Mother's Day Gifts! The one in the pic here is in the shop now though.

Ciao!

I haven't disappeared...yet.

Sorry I've been so distant, just been busy. Mother nature teased us here in Denver with warm Spring like weather for a few weeks, but now it's 35 degrees and we're expecting up to 12 inches of snow in the next day and a half. Well, I'll be in San Diego next weekend so I should get some warm weather there atleast.

I'll be hopefully getting to this idea in the picture above soon, isn't it a great way to feature your fav fabrics in your house? I saw it originally here, and then again here. I have the hoops I just need to nail down what fabrics to use. If you want to do it the tutorial is here.

OK better get back to work but I just wanted to say hey! I have some custom order handbags I'm working on for a few new customers and I have to finish up a display for selling my ponies and clips at the hair salon where I get my do done. I'll post pics once it's done.

Ciao for now!

Watching the Sunset with Carlotta

I made this new Carlotta to post in the shop prior to my showcase on Thursday, tomorrow. I'm having problems letting her go though. As I was photographing her this evening in the last few moments of daylight, I started realizing just how ME this bag is. Oh my pretty, I'll hang her up right here so I can see her and ponder posting her in ye' old shop. Whoever you are out there who may end up purchasing my sweet Carlotta from the shop...take care of her -k-! ;)

Extra! Extra!

Gretel made the homepage today! Yeah! Love the apple theme!
BTW, I have some earrings in the shop, more coming soon!
Cheers!

Goofy Fun!

Oh man, this is so much fun I want to make one for every person I know! I saw it here first and had to try it.
If you want to make your own Southpark version of yourself HERE, go do it, I dare you not to have a blast!!

It's 7pm..Still Light Out..And I'm playing with my Widget

I am SO in love with daylight savings time! It means Spring is just around the corner, there is what feels like a little more time in every day now, especially more time to squeeze in product pictures for new items in the shop.

Another one of my favorite things is the new supa cool Etsy widget, Etsy Mini.

It's customizable and allows you to post a neat little block of Etsy item images onto your own Web pages. I have my featured items from the shop over there to the left. It's oh so fun to play with, you can show off your goods, your friends goods or just your recent hearted items. So if you have a blog or your own web site I'd highly recommend playing with your Widget, lol (that joke is not getting old yet).
The above widget I made with the items I most recently heart.

Laila is now, um Larger... Ok, Voluptuous.

Laila has packed on a few, but in the nicest way possible. Marymo's original design has grown. Laila is still the same cute gal we've come to love but she is now 2.5" deep from front to back. I'll be posting her along with a pink & green (my new fav color combo lately) friend later this afternoon. When I thought up Laila's design one night while trying to fall asleep I wasn't sure if the round design would be a hit or not but so far I've had good feedback on her. I wish I had more time in the day to create, I can't sleep sometimes because I get all these thoughts about bag colors and designs and combinations...need more time. Cheers.
