Saturday morning must be the freakin' worst time to try to make an Etsy Treasury. I am foiled, again and again, by spending the time to make one and then having it disappear while "saving". Let's hope this one shows up eventually, like a few of my past difficulties.... sigh.
Nice word... blurb. Feels quite entertaining rolling through the mouth and off of the tongue. Try it. Blurb.I digress. Just wanted to point to a fun blog with a little "blurb" (hee) about me, thanks to good eco buddy Alex!Ten Things Blog Spot- Who do you know that we should know? Kisses to Alex! Now off to work...
Alex Keller; great mom, great girl, fabulous artistic talents. She is a bundle of energy! I don't know how she keeps up with all that she does! (We will give some credit to her iphone which she should have surgically implanted somewhere in her body for convenience.) Alex REcreates the most amazing jewelry out of vintage and discarded items. This photo is of a drawer pull hanging from an
These are so fun to make AND wear! I hope I sell more so I can make more! Sent a bunch with Popcycle to the LA Gift Mart. Crossing my fingers that they meet with a warm reception! Anyone wanting to donate their old license plates that they have been saving please call or email! Need lots of fun colors and after all, we ARE recycling! See this one at my Etsy Shop! Also have this one
I have had the pleasure of meeting some of the most lovely Artists thanks to being a part of Etsy. I just wanted to celebrate my good fortune by stating it here, in my blog! You know who you are, girls! Thank you, for your company, your input, and your creative feedback! May we all see more of each other! I will try to share one of their shops or talents every day this week! Click on the
Where has the time gone? I am stopping by to quickly add a few pix of the most awesome Grandson on earth! I promise to blog more later. He is perfection.
Sorry, I seem unable to find time to actually blog, these days! More a disappointment for me than for any of you stragglers out there that actually subscribe to my blog. But I must, must, must post some photos of the most beautiful creature on earth, my fabulous grandson Jax! I promise to find more time for me, SOON! Done gushing... for a few minutes!
Beautiful work by one of my favorite artists. Maybe I should rethink my pricing on my brooches! Holy cow! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=43774442
A perfect day for creating. "Cranking" out merch for the upcoming Tucson Museum of Art Craft Market (November 20-21). This is always when I start getting ideas for new things. Then I want to make the new thing. Then I remember I am trying to get out lots of product. THEN I am distracted by the new idea... on and on and on. Kinda funny. Does anyone else do this? I like it because I LOVE new
Sold "Bob" and "George" to lovely customer in UK. Off they go to live together.....
Why, why, why can I not find anything on the internet about my beloved Capezios? I am absolutely sure that little old Tucson was not the only city captivated by these little ballet styled flats. I think most every girl in my junior high school (Fickett Falcons- ha!) was obsessed with trying to own a pair. Remember Baker Fakers? Baker's Shoe Stores made knock offs of a few selected styles of
You change the layout and then past blogs just look "funky". Try to fix them, they just get funkier. Ahhh, to be able to adjust them using html and not have to rely on damned editor... Maybe someday (wistfully). Maybe someday I'll be happy with my blog.... nah.
Yep, I said and it's so..... These are too beautiful to eat! However I am pretty sure if one was sitting on a plate in front of me, it would be admired accordingly and then soundly consumed with zest! Please click on blog title and shop FunFavors Etsy Shop! I am sure there is something there you NEED! And if you love me, you'll order me (and my chubby butt) some skull cookies!
Funny weekly snippet called Etsy Schmetsy... this week favoring a smattering of Day Of The Dead Etsy items. Oh, are those my "Let's Dance" gift tags in the fourth row? Why yes they are! Oh, and need I even point out the Dia De Los Muertos Hello Kitty? Or the Star Wars calaveras? My "fancy" is tickled, pink! As always, click on this blog title to go to The Experts Agree Blog post!
Love the costumes and sets... deeply dislike some of the male behaviors. Thank God my mom didn't have plaid wallpaper in our kitchen. We went the danish modern route. Much better! OMG, the smoking! Cough, choke! Rent it and listen to the writer's and/or directors commentaries! Much fun! Can't get enough Mad Men? Click on the title above and it will take you to the official web site
The colors turned out lovely... it's always a little bit of a surprise! The "Catrina" charm in black and white tickles me! Love Day Of The Dead! Oh, and it sold immediately! Bye, bye Frida!
I have no business being on my blog but needed a break! Suddenly the "art show" looms... and I have hardly any stock... how the hell does that happen? Well, nuff said... back to work.... Hope you are keeping up better than I, Alex!
I REALLY want to be done with people who are negative, selfish, self gratifying, and uncaring. REALLY. Why is it so hard to separate from them? Maybe because there are too many of them. Of course, then there is the uncomfortable tweak. Maybe I am just being one of them. I am trying very hard not to be. Thus I am thrown into turmoil. If you give EVERYONE the benefit of the doubt, you are
I want to surf... this is an interesting choice coming from an old fat chick. Nuff said... sigh
