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 […]

Shop Update this weekend

I’ll be updated my shop with three new versions of one of my newest necklace designs, “Falling Leaves”. I love making this necklace as it allows me to use some of my fancier beads that don’t really fit into my bracelets. I could make them all day, unfortunately, I’m out of leaf charms. Until I […]

And the winner is…

The winning name for my necklace is “Tuscany” given to me by Sew Bettie at Craft Yourself Rich. I think it’s perfect since the stones in the necklace have that rustic, countryside look. I loved all of the names – some of them made me want to go for walks at night or in the […]

One Upon a Time…

Once upon a time there was a hidden street. Upon that hidden street were a few of the cutest, best kept bungalows in Fayetteville. One of those houses just happened to be up for rent when a young, beautiful crafter laid her eyes upon it in a Craigslist ad. This is a story of her […]

To Do List

parsley found in my garden last week – it blooms! I sat down tonight to package up some bracelets to ship out and started to work on some earrings. That’s when it happened, I sat there for about 3 minutes just starting at my crafting table. I didn’t want to make anything tonight – not […]
