TOO MUCH CUTENESS TO HANDLE!

Ok, it's really hard picking my favorites for August 11th and 12th, but I narrowed it down to these>

On the left are my items, a Black Headband-One of a Kind with a Black and White Pearl Embellishment. It's soooo cute! I made a custom bracelet for my friend and she picked out these black pearls. I have several left over after making her bracelet so I went ahead and used some on a few different items. It can be found here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29126109

Also on the left, I have a Black and White Pearl Floating Necklace. Utilizing the same pearls, and adding to my black and white line (go to my shop to see a matching set of earrings :) I made this cute necklace. It's my first time making a floating necklace and it turned out quite well. It can be seen here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29125518

On the right I am featuring 2 sellers with great shops and both are trade friendly! (as am I ;) You know when you are going through their shop and favoriting each and every item, that you should just favorite the whole shop!

So the first item featured is an Orange Spiro Multi-Use Zippered Pouch. I'm trying to decide if I should buy it...it's so cute! They use so many bright and beautiful fabrics in this shop that I just want to buy them all! But this particular pouch can be found here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24722604 (and at a great price!)

The second item on the right is for a Soap of the Month-12 month subscription for you or someone else-what a CUTE idea! And when the soaps are all so luxurious and tasty looking (had to wipe a little drool away...), it's a great idea! I just wish my family wasn't so allergic to everything :( I'm not even allowed to wear perfume in the house I'm living in right now :( But I highly recommend these tasty looking soaps that can be found here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11307972

August 9 & 10 Picks

Here are a couple picks for today and yesterday. On the left I have some beautiful teal metal earrings that I discovered in the etsy chat rooms. They can be found at a great price here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29084405
Also, to the left I have a picture of a button dripping with sarcasm, that's my kinda style :P It can be yours for just $1.00 + shipping! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28716981

As for my personal picks from my store, I just uploaded about a dozen items but I've picked these 2 on the right:
These wire wrapped halloween earrings are so cute that I won't be TOO sad if they don't sell, I'll wear them myself! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29129441
And these earrings are just too cute. I'm glad I chose to use the black wire and hooks instead of the standard silver coloring. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29128097

And I've listed in Crafting4Causes Letters in a Bottle, for such a low price and good cause, it's worth sending a few out to brighten someone's day! That picture is in the center and is found here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29130565

And lastly, when we hit about 50 followers, I'd love to have a contest/giveaway, so make sure to refer your friends to this blog!!!

AUGUST 8-Daily picks and updates for C4C :D

I started today by tackling projects I've been putting off and organizing my supplies. The ideas are exploding and taking over the home, so I need to make sure I tackle them via priority and no more purchasing supplies until I finish projects and make sales!!! Anyway, taking a wee little break from making items to update my blog :D

So news for my Crafting4Causes shop (C4C) is that I now have donations from 3 shops (1 being my own :P) and have started organizing them into grab bags. Another half dozen-ish packages are still on their way.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd...today's picks >

On the left is a Blood Choker Necklace. This shop has quite a variety of hand-crafted halloween necklaces that look great. Tempting for a good compliment to any costume. It can be found here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27621548

On the right are my Silver Butterfly Dangle Earrings. I've been frequenting a local bead store that is a little spendier than where I usually shop, but they have some great items that are superb quality. These earrings showcase pewter, silver coated charms that caught my eye and I knew I had to use them. The pictures, as usual, are not superb :( http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28791759

Picks for August 6th & 7th :D

Goodness gracious, this week has been so busy that I hardly have time to etsy/blog! Here are my recent picks. I'm struggling to keep the pictures lined up as I would like on this silly blog, so we'll see...
On the right we have my Upcycled Fabric Teardrop. It's fun and trendy. That little guy took me so long to hand stitch though!!!!! I swore it would be one of a kind just because it took so long, lol. It's 2 sided with a different pattern on the opposite side, you can check it out here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28791425
Next I have my Blue Shell Pendant. As usual, my pictures just don't do it justice :( I was having problems getting this one in focus. Some simple wire wrapping for a simply delightful piece. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28791253

As for items from other shops, I have some Halloween Lampwork Beads that are eerily fun for Halloween! And they're going for a very reasonable price! You can find them here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28547908
And lastly, I'm not really that much into vintage things, but I ran across these cute books. I spent a year and a half in Poland on a mission for my church and I love the language and anything polish! I haven't decided to take the plunge to buy these, but they sure are selling for a great price! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28530458

Ketchup-or that's how we say it in the food industry...

Playing a little "ketchup" since my work schedule has made it crazy. I'm listing 2 pieces of jewelry from my shop as my picks for August 4th and 5th.
















I have A Dazzling Purple Czech Glass Earrings and Matching Pendant-they are quite possibly my favorite and best work that I've done so far. They are listed here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28791635 And then on the more casual/fun side I have a set of Dice Earrings up for sale. They are so cute! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28791851





As for other shops, I have Floating Sunset Earrings found here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_1&listing_id=28826852 They are so bright and vibrant! Also, I'm listing 4 gourment dipped strawberries out of felt, they can be found here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27550112 I myself am not into purchasing felt food right now but it's all SO ADORABLE!!!! (It's probably a good thing I'm not buying because I'd be broke buying it all-there's so much out there!)

As a side note, I'm posting a picture of a nice beaded chain for glasses that a co-worker asked me to make for her custom. I finally finished it tonight.

Picks for August 3, 2009

On the left is a set of pens that I think I may buy for my brother and/or dad for Christmas, as I've decided this year will be a 100% handmade Christmas-either by myself or other Etsians! They are both outdoorsmen and hunters. We always have plenty of fish and venison in the freezer year round :D They are made by allwelldressedbullet and they have quite a selection of different pens.
This set of pens can be found here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28161467

On the right is the second pair of earrings I made. I kept the first pair and wear them almost daily. They're almost identical. I was worried about the spiral getting caught in hair or something, but I haven't had any problems myself :D They can be found for an affordable rate here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27549693

Oh gee golly!

I've been out of town and busy the last couple days so I've fallen behind on the daily picks. I'll pick up where I left off most likely on Monday! Have a great weekend all!
