Okay so I need some help. I am putting together a brochure of my items to leave at shops around town. I am down to the nitty gritty before I send out for print. Who knew it would be so hard for me to pick a picture of myself to put on the back of the brochure. I have more choices then I thought I would, that prolly doesn't help either.I have put the pictures on flickr, just because it is

Natasha has been taking dance lessons at Debbie's Dance Studio, since last summer. Natasha had her first dance recital on Sunday. They danced to Beach Baby by the Bay City Rollers. It was held at the Washington Performing Arts Center. If you are going to do it, do it big. The recital was 3 hours long and showcased all of the dancers from the studio, travel and competion troupe in tow. She had

So I took a couple of classes last week at The Bead Factory, in Tacoma, WA. The class I took Tuesday was amazingly fun and I met knew friends, too...quite the bonus! The class was Etched Glass Pendant taught by the awesome Carrie Hamm. There was probably about 8 ladies in our class - very low key. I had NEVER soldered before, so I was a little intimidated...oh I know, I was surprised too. Carrie

I have a new section in my store. The items are handmade vintage earrings. My grandma was going though her jewelry box and found about a dozen sets of earrings that she was ready to get rid of. For someone she thought that I needed them. Well they aren't my study, however I know there is someone out there who will LOVE them!!!

Melissa Biggs looks like a model, tall, blonde and athletic. Or, looking at her, you might think she’s somebody you saw in a movie or on television. In fact, she’s all of those things.She plays in a tennis league two or three times a week, runs her own business, cares for her daughter Macy, 12, and is “always, always busy.”She’s not, however, the picture of health she seems to be.

So I have today off from work, to spend the day celebrating Natasha's 5th birthday. My mom called me to tell me that Rob Kalin founder of Etsy was on Martha Stewart...now in the forums people have said that Etsy wasn't doing enough to advertise... I think they just made a major leap for advertising... Martha Stewart "Miss Crafter" herself, took time out to check out some of really items from Etsy

Alex aka Aero Designs is trully an artist of all mediums. He draws, paints, writes and makes electronic music. Today I focuse on his digital art. Digital art most commonly refers to art created on a computer in digital form. Digital art can be purely computer-generated, such as fractals,and algorithmic art or taken from another source, such as a scanned photograph, or an image drawn using vector

A fellow Seattle-Etsy artist hasn't seen her husband since Wednesday when he didn't return home from work. His young family (2 youngsters & pregnant wife Christine) is frantic, as this is totally out of character. His car was found yesterday. Though this has been widely publicized in all Seattle area papers & local TV, here is an opportunity for individuals like you & me to spread the word & pray

The original sex-kitten!!!! This is how my Ravie sleeps. Which always makes me smile. We adopted her from rescue center in August. When got her she was 5lbs, she is now 14lbs. Which is crazy - her nickname is Bertha! She answers to it, I am sure she doesn't know it means she is big-boned. hehehehe She is an awesome cat, she is cuddly and LOVES to be petted and purrs all of the time. She

Well Twinkle got her very own blog - so my other two critters were jealous. Even though Ravie got an honorable mention, she did not think that was enough. Here we have Lady Lucretia aka Critter. She is a 9 year old siberian husky. I bought her for my ex in 1998 - he wanted a dog soooo bad. Funny enough when he left he didn't take her with. I had always been a cat person - but Critter has won me

This is my assistant, her name is Twinkle (aka Ninja Kitty), she is just over a year, we adopted her from a shelter that she had spent 7 months out of her 1st year at. As you can see she needs to be right in the action. Anytime that I open up my bead boxes, she is right there, ready to work. Generally trying to steal something, not really assisting me. She loves to play with the beads and wire,

I am new to blogging. I work for the state of Washington full-time, I have a 5 year old daughter and a wonderful boyfriend. I recently got back to making jewelry - I am exploring all kinds of techniques. Mostly I am doing beading and wirework. This blog will be dedicated to my jewelry adventures.To view more of my jewelry you can go to: http://www.flickr.com/photos/daisiemaicreations/There
