Wow! So Etsy is really keeping me busy, though I'm not exactly sure with what. I joined a couple of teams,
Creativity Rocks! and
South Bay, which of coarse means lots of reading posts and supporting my fellow crafters. My store was chosen this last weekend to be featured in the Creativity Rocks team (my name was drawn from a hat). Of coarse I didn't feel ready for this kind of attention and spent a lot of time taking pictures, posting items, and throwing something together for a banner. The banner stopped being horrible and became rather nice once I discovered the editor in Picasa. Here's what I came up with:
I like this but it feels a little jarring somehow. I also have a friend who is putting something together for me to look at tomorrow. I imagine his will be much more slick but hopefully in the same vain. I hope to be able to use the same image for this blog as well so check back to see the new look. I also built a few
treasuries.
Oops! was especially fun.
Projects: I recently made a list of all the works in progress that I have stashed away and its getting quite long, but I have completed a few things. Here are some photos:
This cute little scarf is actually completed and
listed in my shop. Yay!
Here is another completed project. I reworked a necklace that I made for a 20's themed wedding. It originally hung down to my knees and got wrapped around my neck several times. This one is a choker. I think I'm going to keep it as I really like the glitzy clasp.
I'm in the middle of this yarn wreath. It will have crocheted poinsettia's when it's done.
That's all the pictures I have for now. I hope I can get over my addiction to Etsy and actually get back to making (and finishing) things soon.
