I'm going through my etsy store and updating listings.  Some items are being marked CLEARANCE SALE - these items will *not* be reduced any further than currently marked.  I also updated several initial items to SAMPLE SALE status.  Sample sale means quite simply that these items are samples.  I made these for an event to show my work.  If you would like to place a custom order for your own color choices and initial/s, then it would not be a sample and thus is charged a higher rate.

Happy Thursday!

Weimar Trade Days

Participated in Weimar Trade Days on February 5th through 7th. Yes, Super Bowl Weekend.

engaged

As of December 5th 2009, I am engaged.

I am busy crafting wedding stuffs as well as crafting fabulous items from old clothes and reclaimed fabric scraps. Wedding stuffs are for me and have a deadline. The rest... help me relax when wedding planning or everyday life get to be too much or when I just need a break and a moment or three to make something else. Once. :)

Most of the wedding stuffs are repeats - items that I need to make look identical either five or one hundred and seventy five times.

My daughter took pictures for me of my entire current inventory group, which I am uploading to facebook in another window. I will be listing these items on etsy this week as time permits. Convo me on etsy or message me on facebook - if you would like a custom or reserved listing.

new uses for old clothes made its first sale yesterday! This is very exciting news.
