Catchin' Up

OK... So what happened with the last Etsy Showcases? Nuttin' really. That's Ok though. It's still worth the $15.00 a pop to see the Google Analytics buzz. I feel like that's kind of old news since I haven't posted in a while.

Things were very busy for me on a professional level during the last month as I'm trying to get my National Boards for teaching. Luckily the work that I had to gather for that is over (for the moment) and hopefully it will be what they were looking for to be able to wave me on to the stages. We shall see...

Most recently I have been working on just a couple of things... I'm going to try to show them through a slide show, so let's give it a whirl...


Cool! I think it may have worked... The pictures are of recent work that I have made. The Hoop Embroidered piece was for Amanda for her BIG 30th birthday. She seemed to like it and hopefully it will bring happiness to their home. :) The Felt Sketchbook is an 'original' idea of mine. I kinda quote the word original because I know that there have been books made like this before. But this one is of my own design. It's a prototype so there are some minor flaws. Overall I'm very happy with it. It uses cast off paper from a project that I do at school so it's nice to see that paper that would normally get trashed, go to good use. The sketchbook could be made with fabric but the felt cut out a couple of steps and that's always a great thing! I'm hoping to try this one again and get closer to the perfection the I invision. Also my first time using the little eyelets and the pearl snap.

More stuff coming on the horizon and I have some news about '30 Days of Edward Cullen' that has given me not only the Craft Nod of Approval but also the Twilight Fan Nod of Approval! This one is developing so you'll have to stay tuned. ;)
