Entrecard No More

Maybe you have noticed my blog of the day widget on the right side. Well, that was from Entrecard, where you could allow people to have a widget on your site, and you could decide where your widget went, and it was pretty much free. Entrecard has changed their rules and now are expecting payment [...]

On my own!

Well, hubby is going with his parents to spend a week with his grandad, so it is just me and the puppies this week. And I’m on spring break! So this week will be devoted to creativity. I’ve already started a project on the kitchen table (since I don’t eat on it) and after I [...]

Here’s Lookin’ at You

Ok, I spent all morning fighting with blogger trying to log in. Turns out they changed some things, so I had to delete all my cookies (boo hoo!) and start all over again. But now I’m back, and I wanted to show you this necklace I made. This piece started with the lampwork bead face [...]

March is National Craft Month!

March is National Craft Month! Rather than get into a debate about what is art and what is craft, I’m just going to have fun making things. I hope you all join me! Below is a piece I made that got into a local jurried art show. Art or craft, who cares. But they had [...]

Quilted Wallhanging

I was going to show you pictures of my doggies romping in the snow we had last weekend (a rare occurrence as I am in SC) but somehow I managed to delete the pictures instead of transferring them to my laptop! So instead I will show you the whole quilt that I posted a little [...]

SRA Spotlight

Sometimes I don’t want to type about myself, so I thought I’d start doing the occasional SRA spotlight. SRA stands for self representing artist. That is someone like me, who makes markets and sells their own art. This time I am spotlighting Rose Works Jewelry. Ruth (Rose) made the amazing purple bracelet you see. In [...]

Valentine’s Day and the Cuttlebug

Ok, I admit it. Valentine’s day is not my favorite holiday. Neither my hubby nor myself are especially romantic, and I get darned tired of hearing how wonderful other peoples’ spouses are. But I tried to get in the spirit this year, partly by playing with my new toy, the Cuttlebug! I know, it doesn’t [...]

CPSIA Again

In an effort to draw attention to the new and incredibly stupid CPSIA law, Etsy sellers are posting about it in their blogs today. The below post was written by Winklepots and Chichibouli, and I thank them for giving us this wonderful info to post. As parents and concerned citizens I’m sure most of us [...]
