Craft Addict

The wonderful Mendy from Craft Addict was nice enough to feature me on her blog. I was so honored to be chosen because she tends to find the most incredible things on etsy, plus she hosts a giveaway every single week!
She also has her own etsy shop where she sells tons of screenprinted items. Her giraffe tote bag is the cutest. See her shop here ---->

Sleeping Bunnies


About a month ago I mentioned a possible new product for the shop. Here is a little preview. My very first jewelry design! I've been "test driving" the new necklace and wearing my sleeping bunny around town this past week. I'm really loving her. :o) It came out even better than I had expected! The pendant and chain are .925 sterling silver. I just have to decide on what type of finish I like best and then hopefully a few sleeping bunny necklaces may be hopping on over into my next shop update!

Otters in Love?

I recently received a few requests for an otter rubber stamp so I decided to google around to find out more about what makes this little creature so wonderful. I came across this video on youtube and I can honestly say that this could quite possibly be the cutest thing I've ever seen! They're holding hands (paws)! I don't care that scientists say it's just something they do as a survival instinct in the wild...these two otters just look too adorable next to each other. Too adorable for their own good!! How can I not make an otter stamp now?? So here's a preview of my new design...a little something for all the otter lovers out there.

Hello out there!

I know it has been very quiet around here and in my etsy shop lately . . . but I promise I have been working very hard behind the scenes on new stamp designs, a web page and a few other surprises. I've even been collaborating with a small metal casting foundry and if all goes well I may have a possible new product for the store! :o)

Hopefully I will be done preparing for an etsy shop update soon. . . in the meantime I've decided to share some of my own favorite etsy stores! My pick for today is etsy seller Joanna Rutter. She handcrafts amazingly delicate and illustrative sterling silver jewelry. It was love at first sight for me!
