Life Happens

Life has not been full of crafting, cooking or gardening this week. I’ve been busy with other things that life can throw your way. I promise to return to blogging very soon – hopefully with some super pictures taken on my new background. I really appreciate those who have been keeping my family in your […]

And once again, I’m one with my pictures.

A huge thanks goes out to my sister, Punkinhead and Girlchild on Etsy. She brought a lovely cabinet door to the craft show this weekend for a potential display piece. Well, it didn’t work for the show but it’s going to be FABULOUS for pictures of my jewelry on Etsy. It has a similar look […]

I Accept Your Challenge

While setting up for the fair tonight, my sister so lovingly pointed out that an Etsy Street Team leader should have promotional items about the team. This was after we had met Chris Massingill and talked about how we should have promotional materials. I think the exact line was “Yeah, and you’re supposed to be […]

On your mark… get set…

GO! In just about 30 minutes I shall begin my 2nd to least favorite part of the craft show hullabaloo and that is the set up process. For 6 Hands (my mom, sister and myself) that involves the following: Wait for person with larger vehicle to come pick you up (usually my mom)Drive to work […]

Advice for an 18 year old

I live in a college town… no, not the college town I went to school in, but a very similar, albeit smaller, town. This time of year brings hoards of students back into town. New students, old students, and students who are just along for the ride. They are all back and I wish I […]

Best Day for Mail EVER

After spending a day at a retreat with my coworkers, I came home to find this little jewel on my coffee table. Denise Felton is a fellow crafter from Arkansas and a member of the AREtsy Street Team. I love her work and have kept my eye on her shop for almost a year. Because […]

Shopping on Labor Day Weekend

I took this from the AREtsy Team blog because I wrote it and I can. That’s allowed… right? Just when you think cooler weather and changing leaves will never get here, you turn around and there they are. The cooler weather means the start of many a fall/holiday craft fair here in Arkansas. Northwest Arkansas […]

A Few of my Favorite Things

Whether or not you’d like to admit it, the Holidays are just around the corner. In fact, there are only 122 shopping days left until Christmas. This is music to my ears for a few reasons. I love Christmas. I love the family, the spirit of the holiday, the decorations, the baking (oh the baking), […]

Me want, me want!

Found today at Craftzine.com: This is BRILLIANT. All I need are some shelves and guess what I’m doing to the guest room? Yup, making it into a yarn storage heaven. I currently store my yarn in bins under the bed. Every time I pull it out to get another skein out, I gasp at the […]
