Starting To List NEW Creations.

I have about 7 completed projects that are waiting to be listed in my shop, but just don't get enough time to do it.

There are a couple of items that I listed

I want to do it so bad because I know someone out there is going to love the bags I made from a long plaid skirt.

They turned out so much better than I expected. :)

I would Love to see what You have been making and invite You to join my Blog so that we can follow each other.

Did You get a chance to join the contest with "Singer" ?  I know it closed at the end of June but was wondering if anyone knows who won the beautiful sewing machine for first prize.?

It's so late right now and I promised myself that I would go to be earlier than last night. If I do so, then I will be better rested for tomorrow.

Goodnight.

Talk Soon.

W H A T ???

I've been going crazy lately trying to keep up with all I want to do.

I'm telling ya! Crazy.

There is a contest going on with "Singer" where you can win an awesome sewing machine along with other fine gifts.

What do you have to do to enter???.......Sew something Yourself that You or someone can wear and ENTER.  Cool.

Oh Yeah, the only catch is, You must enter by the end of June AND whatever You made had to have been made in the month of June.  Got it?

Okay then, OOOOooooops!!!  One more thing, You have to sign up to Flickr because that is where You upload your sewing project/projects.

I do have what I am entering, but still am trying to finish one more thing, (I really would Love that sewing machine), so I will get everything uploaded this weekend after I go for a 7a.m. MRI scan on my spine where I have to lay still for almost an hour!  Oh MY!  It's a good thing it's so early in the morning because maybe I'll fall asleep.  Hope I don't snorrrre. :)

Get Sewing.
Have Fun.
Smile at someone today, it feels good all round.

Talk soon.

Enjoying Life*

Well, I'm still working on my two little online shops, and hope that since I decided to 

separate my products so that it would be easier for visitors and/or buyers, to see all that is available, more clear. 

Less is more. (I heard that somewhere:)

You see, I love to make so many different things, and since a lot of my ideas come from the material that I look at, most times I don't even know what I'm going to make until I'm actually sitting down ready to create. :)

I LOVE it.

I am really hoping that one day, I can actually sit at home in my little workshop and do this, and this only as my way of survival.  That would be awesome.

I really enjoy changing up my shop banners too, because I think the same banner all the time might get boring.

So, just to put the shops out there for anyone who might like to check them out.

The one on Artfire will have the  Jewelry  that I  make  or design,  along with  Handmade  Accessories  of all kinds.

The one on Zibbet will have Pillow Covers,  small bags, market/shopping bags,  change purses,  business card  holders, and any other goodie that comes to mind when I am in my creating zone. :)

I would love to see what anyone else is making, or designing, so please be daring and be the first to join my Blog so that I can also join yours and keep an eye for something I might want to buy.

Have a Great weekend!

UPDATE *

Hi

I've decided to focus on my two shops and put my Affiliate Marketing on a back burner for just a bit, so that I can get traffic to my Handmade items, and get my shops better organized.

I really enjoy making things, one of which is sewing, and the other is creating jewelry.

When I'm sewing, I love to re-invent, re-cycle because seeing a new creation born from a skirt, coat, fabric finds, etc., is so exciting.

I don't go shopping with an idea in mind.  I look for special looking fabric, different, even if it already has a life of it's own.  That's when I bring it home and every time I look at it, I wait until the vision is there. 

I get so excited once I know what I'm going to make and start in a way as if I have a drawing in front of me. The vision is so clear in my mind.  I do make a couple little changes near completion until I feel iI looks exactly as I pictured in my mind.

The proudest moment is when someone actually purchases one of my designs.

So, for now, my sewing/felting, fabric creations of any kind, will be listed  HERE*  and my jewelry designs will be  here*

I will be putting both shops on one site, and I'm working on that now.

Sorry I have to cut it short, but my computer is starting to act up, and I don't want it to freeze before this posting is saved.

Keep Your creative juices flowing.

Drop a line, I'd Love to hear from You.

Sew What Have You Been Up To?

I have been working so much out in the big world, that I haven't had much time at all to
do any work at home.


I really miss sitting down and getting into my designing. You know, letting your imagination
run free and seeing what actually turns out from it all. :)


My awesome friend Rosie (that's my dog) had a birthday on April 26 and turned 14, so she
does need to be taken outside more frequently, and she is slowing down with having arthritis,
which I can definitely relate to. :)


I decided to stick to sewing, and have stopped creating jewelry for now because I just don't
have time or the money to pursue everything I want to right now.


I have another site on Visual Imaginaries where I have posted just my hand sewing items and
machine sewing.  I do hope you get a chance to check it out. There's a couple of cool Pillows.


I would love to hear from You and See what You have been doing.


Have a Great Weekend, and  Happy Mother's Day  to ALL  MoM's.

MOTHERS DAY

I haven't had a chance to do an updated post because of my computer being near Death!


I just don't have enough money right now to buy a new one.


I've made a couple of pretty pillows that would be awesome gifts for a MoM on her Special Day!


If you get a chance, check them out because I have to go....Only because this crappy computer keeps freezing and then won't move until I turn it off and start all over again.


Have a Great Week.

Cooking Mama ?

Hello Artisans,

I've been busy trying to do many things at the same time. :)


I'm sure you know what that feels like.


I can't believe I actually had time to look at this "Peta" game. You might want to think twice about playing because there is a chance it will turn you off of things you like to eat.

I did find it very interesting though, because they post "Facts" that I'm sure most people are just not aware of.  yuck!


Check it out if you get a chance, and I'll be back soon.

Scroll to the bottom and click on the ad that says;  "Cooking Mama".


Have a Great week.
