Ordered my items for bath salts

A few of you gave me some great ideas for my try at bath salts. I ordered my supplies tonight and can't wait to get started.

All that gave me some advice and emailed their address will be getting a free sample in the next couple of weeks. I will also be putting free samples in my out going packages.

I'm excited to get started.

New item in the works, need your help


Ok, I went and bought some sea salt. I have been wanting to give the bath salt making a whirl for a while now. I have been reading lots of recipes and have a pretty good idea of where to start.

Really wanting to start off making some to match the up-coming season. So maybe fall scents, and holiday ones. I don't want to end up making salts, that no one would want to smell. So here's where you all come in. Think about fall and the holidays and give me your ideas of scents.


The first 10 people that respond on here, will get a free sample salts when they are ready.

So come on everyone help a fellow crafter out.

Already Dreaming of Fall


Still hot as can be out doors, but my mind wonders to fall. With the leaves changing, and trick or treat time.

I love having little ones, so I don't look crazy roaming the neighbor hoods with bags of candy on Halloween.

Thought I would introduce some Halloween pumpkin hair clips, since the time of year has been on my mind.

Sad today


Was going home to NC for a visit today, but a kidney stone has decided my behind is going to stay in GA.

Maybe I will lay here and work on some new needle felted goodies.


I love to make these little catnip jingle bells.

Come by http://www.splashesofcolor.etsy.com/ and pick a set up for your kitty today.

Almost time for back to school


With my youngest starting this year, I feel both sad and happy that he is going to big boy school.

I figure I can spend my mornings working more on my crafts. I hope to get the rest of my supplies soon to start making some pretty mini holiday wreaths.


I thought about some fall ones, maybe a couple Halloween ones, but for the most part Christmas ones.


Before you know it , that time of year will be here. I have seen lots of etsy shops already filled with Christmas goodies. I feel like I am getting behind already.


Here is my first attempt at a holiday item. Meet Mr Snowy

I have so much fun making bracelets




I am always on the look for new fun beads , stones, shells to make bracelets with. It's fun to find different textures and colors.


I set them all out and find which colors or textures would compliment one another.




Some days before I know it I have made a hand full of new bracelets to share.

New Passion for Labels







Don't you just love new toys? I have a program I have been slowly learning. Finally got the label and some different size stickers figured out. Starting to share them with my fellow Etsy friends.






There is lots more on there to learn, calenders, banners, decals for shirts,window etc. Now those look really cool.






Can't wait to make more new things to share.

Been slow, but happy that I sold some of my catnip jingle bells today. These are fun and easy to make. Cats just love them. I use pure catnip spray that I coat these little goodies with and seal in a bag to keep them yummy for your furry baby.




They come in small and large. If you would like certain colors, I will be happy to help customize your order.




Who knew felting catnip jingle bells could be so fun, but it is. I find it calming to kick back and dig into my bags of wool.




I would like to give a big thanks to all the great wool suppliers on Etsy.com. You guys rock and bring a smile to my face when my packages of wool arrive.




Two of my favs are windrose.etsy.com and dbarrstuff.etsy.com

Not loved but was by me


My little retro version wasnt loved by new owner, but will always be loved by me. Was made with a old black feather from a antique hat that had seen it's prime.

The feather was not smooth enough for new owner.


I take great pride in my work and feel sorry for my little bow :(
