Only Two?

Trying to work at home has been a challenge. I have a very spirited and imaginative 4 year old son. Today was a great example of what I deal with. I do my cutting and soldering when he is at preschool. I wait until he is home, though, to run the kiln. (I'm afraid I might burn down the neighborhood if I left the kiln unattended.) Today I ran out to to turn on the kiln. He was, I thought, engaged in his pipe cleaner craft he so diligently works on. I came back in from the studio (2 minutes?) and he had that look on his face. I know that look. So I said, "What are you up to?" He calmly replied, "I only threw two eggs out the front door."


((Only two???)) :/

Aqua Treasury and New Banner


Etsy :: Treasury West List

I was in another lovely Treasury today. seragun included me in her first, title,"Aqua." This is a fabulous collection, especially for a first. She chose my Luna Candle Holder. Luna has been my muse as of late. In fact, I chose this piece to picture on my web and blog banners, business cards, and tags. I think she really sums up the feeling of my store as well as the techniques I'm currently using. (If you like my banner, please visit whimsygraphicdesigns. Rebecca did a fabulous job with the designs.) Don't forget to check out seragun's beautiful fiber accessories. I love her floral weave necklace!

Etsy Finds Decor: In Praise of the Hunt




It is so exciting to visit CraftCult and find that the views on one of my items is greatly elevated. It happened today! I found that Christine (iheartmoustaches) listed my Amber Lantern as a Related Item in her article "Etsy Finds Decor: In Praise of the Hunt." The article features items inspired by the home of Etsy vintage seller blogbloglog (Alexander Salvage is the company name). This is truly an eclectic collection, illustrating how a trained eye can successfully mix different styles and eras in home decor.

Thanks, Christine! I needed a lift today!

Orange Juice and Oatmeal


Started my day off right! I woke to find that I was in a fun Treasury called "Orange Juice and Oatmeal."

Please visit gubfactory's shop to view her quirky, loveable plush animals (the coffee cozy above is hers, as well).
