Loads of things to do

I have been kinda busy...I have been tutoring at night and not getting home until like 7:30ish. Dan has been on overnights for the past week and a half so I see him for about an hour to an hour and a half each day real quick. I haven't got all of the stuff I wanted to get accomplished to sell for this weekend's show but I did get my FEST secret Swap done. I totally had forgotten about it and everything needed to be sent out by the 15th...


It is about bar towel size. When I made some stuff for Stacey she cut down some of my ginormous tea towels so I made the birds on that. the swap was for winter or fall themed items but I couldn't really think of what either of those meant besides holidays ( we do live in florida so it is a bit harder). I went with these birds from a pattern from annie oakleaves and made them in fall like colors. I hope she likes it.

Handmade Holiday Bazaar

Handmade Holiday Bazaar

I'm really excited to announce that I've partnered with a friend of mine, Stacey of ElleBelle, and Fiberologie to organize, create, and host the first ever Handmade Holiday Bazaar!

There'll be lots more details to come, but for now, mark your calendars for Sunday Nov. 9th and plan to come by Fiberologie to check out some of Tampabay's best crafters and get a jump on that holiday shopping!

Newbie Etsyblogger

Yesterday was really rainy here and I had some time to craft. I need to be 3 x faster so I can get more completed. I am an official member of etsybloggers now so be on the lookout for posts regarding that. I am excited to be a part of this group because there are so many talented artists and crafters involved in it.

I am now a licensed Pimp Stich Reseller

I just sent in all of my paperwork and I am a licensed reseller of items embroidered with all of the artists over at Pimp Stich's designs. I am so happy to be a part of the Pimp Stitch Family. I will also be able to use some of Regina's designs Annie Oakleaves, Urban Threads and currently are a licensed reseller for Sublime Stitching too.

Dan and I are also continuing to work on designs for our own line as well with my friend Kittykill.

So loads of new opportunities in store for me! Locally I am working with my friend Stacey on some new crafty ventures if anyone would ever freaking call me back.

These are some new items. The brown yoga pants were a custom item and I either need to get a better camera or only take pics in the daytime..

Some new and exciting things on the horizon

I am working on a bunch of new and exciting things. I will keep you posted as they come to fruition ( keep your fingers crossed)..sooo excited!!! I can give two hints two of these new thing involve Stacey and Kittykill!

I found this pic on the Internet and it is so true. It made me smile cause I thought of Napoleon Dynamite.

P.S. There is another wonderful mother of a hurricane brewing in the ocean now..I hope it doesn't come here.

New Fav's and a local show

Here is a mosaic ( I learned how to do this from kunderwood) of some of my favs' I have seen. There are so many talented people all over and it makes me happy that I have some many fav's for the past couple of weeks I do not have enough space for them on two mosaic's..

There are so many people to mention so I am going to direct you to my flickr to have direct links to all the fabulous artists.


My friend Stacey and I are working on creating our own local shows. We both feel that there is a need for more specific types of shows and we can promote them ourselves and know that we are doing the best to make these shows a success for everyone involved. More to come on that for sure!


I am doing a big show called Atomic Holiday Bazaar with Stacey in December which should be tons of fun.


Not sure how much crafting will be done this weekend it is my mom's b-day and there is a ton of cleaning that needs to be done at the homefront.
