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.

Need some fall supplies?

Went cleaning out my fall craft boxes and found lots of cool stuff to pass on to fellow crafters.

Listing Freenzy today

I have been listing a lot of great new items on my etsy shop today. Been having lots of fun working on crafts all week. Now it's time to list them for all to see and buy :)

New doggie toy

Approved my Miss Bambi. Great 4 inch multi-colored felted balls. Will keep your furry baby happy for hours on end.

Come check them out at www.splashesofcolor.etsy.com

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 :(

I love flowers

Here are my latest polymer clay set of flowers. Just listed today on www.splashesofcolor.etsy.com

Just made my first stickers today

Just made my first set of stickers. I did a halloween them. Yes it's still summer,but will be that time of year before we know it. I showed them to a neighbor and sold a set before I could get them posted on my etsy shop.
