The rest of the story

And finally I present to you my new carding station. The empty drafting table from the previous post has finally been inhabited with fiber, tools, buttons, jars, ribbon, a scale, and my drum carder. The world is happy again and you all can go on about your business. I haven’t used it for carding yet, […]

Holiday Ideas

I’ve got so many different Holiday ideas for my fiber shop swimming around in my head and no time to do them and it’s killing me! Okay, I’m making that up, I have plenty of time to do them, just not before my next show which is… uhh… two days from now! I had HUGE […]

Validation

I used to be the kind of person who needed the approval of others to validate what I do. If I made food, I didn’t really know if it was good unless someone told me it was. If I hung up some pictures in a way I liked, it didn’t look good until someone told […]

Knock Knock

Hello? Anyone out there? Sales have been a bit slow for me on Etsy this week – but then again, I’ve been a bit MIA from my regular life. I did keep up with things the best I could from Little Rock, but there was no time for crafting there. Perhaps when I’m back to […]

Update Successful

What? I listed a new item in my Etsy shop tonight? Get out! It has taken me just about FOREVER to get some pictures I liked of some of my new items. By forever I mean at least 3 weeks. They are not exactly my favorite pics, but they will do. Once the sun comes […]

Coffee = fuel

Since returning home from New Orleans, I’ve been nothing but sleepy. I haven’t wanted to get out of bed in the morning, I’ve been taking naps just after work, I even contemplated a 20 minute nap during lunch today, but instead chose to go grocery shopping. I just spent 30 minutes on the couch snoozing […]

Packy McPackertons

I packed up much of my crafty area stuff tonight. I almost packed my beads and yarn – but I couldn’t. Those will stay out until just before we start moving (which is only in a week). One advantage to moving your crafting area is you really get rid of a bunch of junk. I […]

Inspiration Needed – apply within

An Austin, TX sunset complete with matching car – taken February 2005 I think I need some new inspiration. I’ve just about exhausted the views of the Boston mountains (part of the Ozarks) from my window. I’ve exhausted spring in NW Arkansas, winter in NW Arkansas, fall in NW Arkansas, and anything else, in NW […]

Slightly off topic

I’m warning you, BeadedBombshell introduced me to embedding YouTube into blogs today… Okay, I think I mentioned that this blog was dedicated to crafting and baking… or maybe just crafting (I can’t remember) BUT I need to take a post to leave the norm and discuss something just as dear to my heart… if not […]
