The FUN Trifecta

Oh who could not love a Wine and Cupcake happy hour? I, for one, am a sucker for these events and try my hardest to get the girls together to indulge!

The best part, besides the cheese plate and cupcakes and wine, had to be the door prizes! Every 30 minutes some lucky gal (or guy) got a fabulous gift. To my disbelief, I actually won something.



AmeliaBeth makes these gorgeous rings, pendants and cufflinks from Scrabble Pieces. You can browse her jewelry on her Etsy site linked to her name above.

Of course I could not leave without purchasing something from Diamonds and Guns by Action Jackson.

I loved every piece, and thanks to the wine that had loosened up my wallet, I picked this darling locket necklace.







Ok, let's move on to the fabulous cupcakes, wine and cheese plate. Words aren't needed here - just mouth-watering pictures.







You can stop drooling now and make sure you fan The Cupcake Bar on Facebook for the next event.

I'm going cozy crazy!

I can't stop making these Iphone/Ipod cozies.  They are quick to whip up, and only takes a few hours if I can concentrate on finishing it up without wandering away to another project.  

I scored some super cute buttons and can't wait to match my cozies to them.  I've thrown up 2 on my Etsy site already.  I love the colors!  So bright and fun.  I better throw in an emo cozy just in case.

Sales have pretty much died from my Etsy site.  I figured as much with summer approaching. Time to switch gears and try to figure out something that won't make you sweat to death.  I did create a few head scarves, but wore them way too much so I can't sell them.  Maybe I'll crank out a few.  They are awesome.  Great way to keep your scalp from burning.

Ok time for bed.

It's HERE!!!!!!!

My Etsy shop is up and running!!!!  Hooray wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!  (Look at the bottom left hand side.)

If you place an order and mention my blog, you get free shipping!  Hell, if we know each other, I will come over to your house and deliver it myself.  

Like what you see but want a different color?  I'll do custom orders for my blog fans.  Just leave me a comment or email me.  

Tell me what you think.  I appreciate all comments.

I'm Gonna Do It!

It's about time to set up shop.  An Etsy shop that is.  I've been mulling the idea over in my head for months and debating if my craft is worth selling.  Lately, I have been improving in my pattern reading and skills so I'm going to make the plunge!  It's time to reap in the benefits of my creativity and available extra hours.

Soon it will be time for me to go into hibernation and create.  I'll let you know when I set things up.
