I have decided to show on my blog something that I like to do in my spare time. I love going to the thrift store. I don't like buying things for myself, as you can't really try them on, however, I love buying large shirts (men or women) and making them into things for my daughter. In this post, I am showing a man's shirt (I believe it was a large) and I have transformed it into an adorable little skirt. I even have enough left over that I plan on making a dress. The pattern for this skirt is from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/62411115/prep-school-pleated-skirt-tutorial-pdf">Little Lizard King</a> and I absolutely love it. It is easy to make and is very versatile. This is the before....<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ6LgvNv1aXTPTx-S-AF0qbH08ufrUgpJ0ZTNWBBYmZMcxZvdKQRArQnQU2QVUD84boEajsfz8012FMno-RwI5FpzE5WpknS_seYKYmsqf7LyeJXN_3GJp0PqPK6liqOqM2pVQe1hjUSWR/s1600/Alonia+239.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 196px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ6LgvNv1aXTPTx-S-AF0qbH08ufrUgpJ0ZTNWBBYmZMcxZvdKQRArQnQU2QVUD84boEajsfz8012FMno-RwI5FpzE5WpknS_seYKYmsqf7LyeJXN_3GJp0PqPK6liqOqM2pVQe1hjUSWR/s200/Alonia+239.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605528496834243138" border="0" /></a><br />and this is the after...<br /><a onblur="try{parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidW03fylbkDQE-egcKiXNKVFodi4ioZ9HPHRhrzyfmpKbdFFwa_BKwU7RcwyFKQpIQJIY6zvmixTl2qdMLSYpiE8CD1ih-cTUW1GFnn6aPG6oXxsQ61MEaeC4EEwOVGVE28anZ-fgZUCjX/s1600/Alonia+242.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 190px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidW03fylbkDQE-egcKiXNKVFodi4ioZ9HPHRhrzyfmpKbdFFwa_BKwU7RcwyFKQpIQJIY6zvmixTl2qdMLSYpiE8CD1ih-cTUW1GFnn6aPG6oXxsQ61MEaeC4EEwOVGVE28anZ-fgZUCjX/s200/Alonia+242.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605528501889663394" border="0" /></a>So let me know what you think :) Thanks for reading.sue114http://www.blogger.com/profile/00771258977939047561noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561558324500318563.post-87455363620903556122011-03-14T08:11:00.000-07:002011-03-14T08:15:35.644-07:00Custom Order - Dolls<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUHB97-s8FZWeFxzNEEijfQvIK9nCAmdEAannM4zAg5Gdl_pCVnHjWWoCGTsjwrm0RI35IsKFH_ttWyNpO5e3XUX43NTPM9PcRS4CpY87oa0PYhr9XeuHOu5FRZ08c8eACb7Lv5S9heAA9/s1600/alonia+001.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUHB97-s8FZWeFxzNEEijfQvIK9nCAmdEAannM4zAg5Gdl_pCVnHjWWoCGTsjwrm0RI35IsKFH_ttWyNpO5e3XUX43NTPM9PcRS4CpY87oa0PYhr9XeuHOu5FRZ08c8eACb7Lv5S9heAA9/s200/alonia+001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583953965539540514" border="0" /></a><br />Recently I had a custom order for 3 dolls.

I went from being a girlfriend of 13 years to a single girl with a newborn baby. And here I am now with a beautiful 3 year old a new(er) boyfriend of 2 1/2 years and my life is wonderful. I am always super busy and running around like a crazy person, but I can't say I don't enjoy it. I guess you always wish for the thing you don't have. I wish that I could work only 3 days and just enjoy my daughter and my crafts, but somehow I don't think things would be any slower in pace:)<br />These were just some thoughts for the day, guess maybe I'm just feeling sentimental :)<br />As always please give my shop a look over, let me know if you see something that you think I could improve on. I'm always trying. In all the forums they say that you shouldn't ask for suggestions because you seem to "green", but I don't agree. I know how to make my products, and I know how to make them well, I'm just not sure how to make sure everyone else knows that :)sue114http://www.blogger.com/profile/00771258977939047561noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561558324500318563.post-38110507346197085792010-04-26T16:05:00.001-07:002010-04-27T06:56:58.461-07:00Team Tuesday<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/43950067/luxury-puffed-taffeta-cushion"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464587088039785954" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 173px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL_ez1kHquQZNNHZEItDAq_Z9KezJHn4vuKVJ86BpwHoAv3kxpXlvLXfuygiY-qtZIXzb0EfcGxJrD_TUHn5hJDTxZ7YB7TgaVCOwjM7n2u3nZeaA2WRE2IfvWWi84mBOeDE77Fo06xFFp/s200/pillow1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/44369107/taffeta-cushion"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464586794958025378" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvKAM9hQVl2UiuogDXv1CVS-TwIUQueLD0P03ZOcFPiRySsI6HcgszrjpoqjOZ_h6TFx-i_EoLxKdDsleGrBeBxhOBoqkPwFx-0QuwMqHyVbFEnCn6GN_AsFIa83ekukTPxp9LMBg3UhyphenhyphenQ/s200/pillow.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Hello All.

The items that I saw at the show, though, were some super cute t-shirts. The shirts can be found at her other <a href="http://www.originalabbie.com/store">shop</a>. I am just showing a small sample of her work, but be sure to check it out for some great items.</div></div><br /><script src="http://www.linkytools.com/basic_linky_include.aspx?id=24096" type="text/javascript"></script>sue114http://www.blogger.com/profile/00771258977939047561noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561558324500318563.post-79702133585189838702010-03-30T01:00:00.000-07:002010-03-30T06:32:38.292-07:00Team Tuesday<a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=41258172"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454222432672496818" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 181px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmQZV2eQihBCcVErT83CFLmDqHtoflSsoyOtnRKlafYV_gaFm9PZekUARmHuI3Vm7mh-80TBFT4kAo3_fQQPfjAIf2cD9oSE36I9KUN4g5Lu2yPFXHHXBVm9Euu9_aMLhJdDFA9gZlyjof/s200/soap1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17147894"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454222266659720098" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 184px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihFq03tTNv1F4bmNTHoDeeONoyn0a8sFUOcrBgt5vLYKy6p5o5LCZ1VDXlTiNMRW62ywEpy2kpmLadxvKXlPLLKNoVt7xCpag6A96KcD1Vh3d7TkCXPpSH-y6HezB3-Nq5G5o7WI5zCQm-/s200/soap.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Another week, another team Tuesday. This week I would like to feature <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/dragon06">Dragons Den</a>. This weekend I did a small craft show in Waretown and had the pleasure of meeting this seller. She is very nice, and happy to share her craft. These are a few samples of her work. The gift sets are a great idea, and of course soaps always smell great. I think the oatmeal soap is especially interesting. It contains real oatmeal so that it is also exfoliating.</div><br /><br /><div>Please check out her shop and keep her in mind for gifts. I think soaps and candles make great gifts, it's one of those things you rarely purchase for yourself, but would always like too :)</div></div><br /><br /><!-- Begin Blog Hop --><br /><a href="http://www.mcklinky.com/blog_hop.asp" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.mcklinky.com/images/MckLinkyBlogHop160.jpg" alt="MckLinky Blog Hop" width="160" height="52" border="0" longdesc="http://www.brentriggs.com" /></a><br /><script src="http://www.mcklinky.com/linky_include_bloghop_public.asp?id=22302" type="text/javascript"></script>sue114http://www.blogger.com/profile/00771258977939047561noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561558324500318563.post-54236975239731644362010-03-23T08:08:00.001-07:002010-03-23T08:16:22.227-07:00Team Tuesday<a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27890038"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451847599714842178" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLXuW3-5AnCrLHrkAAWTwtDFyW0fOJqjqOFk-3_jv5RAcMIsqsFyenyjhNzTVyd6IDm7wOyo5np3Aw6asgZxcxwms5I30aNje7B4i2KCTY2AOekjFqfDH7M9SzFQPO19zPAh-6cZlK9P5F/s200/daisy1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=43210265"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451847035379173458" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 134px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZJF0g98jAeB4V2d6IOJ0apUsrZ_I7cILWUbEhvO6B6gYSzlZ_JJrGMHQdpIxRthvD0OuYAAV4XNz9aS884G9daVbEnNm-E4b6xfF84sHBCY2e-VaMOvscm2Cc4J1u7j88y-3F-ZkMI_Ep/s200/daisy.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Good morning all.

This week I would like to feature happiknits.etsy.com. I love her shop and have actually purchased some of her fingerless gloves (which I love). I came across this item in my etsynj search and I came across a few items that were new to me. I was aware of her gorgeous cowls and scarves and things, but have realized that she is doing some accessories as well. These are of my favorites.</div></div><br /><br /><!-- Begin Blog Hop --><br /><a href="http://www.mcklinky.com/blog_hop.asp" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.mcklinky.com/images/MckLinkyBlogHop160.jpg" alt="MckLinky Blog Hop" width="160" height="52" border="0" longdesc="http://www.brentriggs.com" /></a><br /><script src="http://www.mcklinky.com/linky_include_bloghop_public.asp?id=19234" type="text/javascript"></script>sue114http://www.blogger.com/profile/00771258977939047561noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561558324500318563.post-40984277752024064012010-02-23T11:09:00.000-08:002010-02-23T11:54:50.626-08:00EtsyNJ Mclinky<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDmYR7cia3HdQWSBkJ62m6fqC3QSeRfjKBvHELJPsM3DiYpzZFUJf4pQNSYdtbcFf8kD-j-PeLcjUCgeEiEt8ho1mIgcmKAy0ZT94b-s1RMS5Vsfp687IHt_6_kyKsV3DgmqJkTgQho0xK/s1600-h/purse1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441529720865533474" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 130px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDmYR7cia3HdQWSBkJ62m6fqC3QSeRfjKBvHELJPsM3DiYpzZFUJf4pQNSYdtbcFf8kD-j-PeLcjUCgeEiEt8ho1mIgcmKAy0ZT94b-s1RMS5Vsfp687IHt_6_kyKsV3DgmqJkTgQho0xK/s200/purse1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNoC_oUdPyE4WDp43WX4r-WibRAq8DkLd1SFJoQXiOa2TNz-4hJ-cBv_k71Fy1Mf0yb-S8UXLGrteAEKjUr5sCGqebn5YjhlIvx9qH6JwzSdIh5qofiGWDq3ytNjEKv4GjujmxwyryonRs/s1600-h/purse.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441529653717290562" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 146px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNoC_oUdPyE4WDp43WX4r-WibRAq8DkLd1SFJoQXiOa2TNz-4hJ-cBv_k71Fy1Mf0yb-S8UXLGrteAEKjUr5sCGqebn5YjhlIvx9qH6JwzSdIh5qofiGWDq3ytNjEKv4GjujmxwyryonRs/s200/purse.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>I am part of the EtsyNJ team and we are trying out this McLinky thing.

The UWIB Team (Unique Women in Business). I am really enjoying it. Teams in general seem to be very supportive. I am a member of the bag making team, the crochet team, etsy moms, and etsy NJ. So far, for me, the best teams have been the UWIB and the EtsyNJ team. <br />My theory on this is, the NJ team is great because we are all local. We can talk about upcoming events in our state. It keeps you very informed of what shows are good, what aren't worth your time, and ones that are for like churches and things that you might not have heard about otherwise.<br />The UWIB team is great because it is all people that really want to be successful, but we want others to be successful as well. It is a supportive group and even though we all sell completely different items the information I have gained so far, has been really helpful. One of the members just went to a buyers market for the first time and we were all excited to hear how it went. (Personally never realized there was such a thing)<br />But anyway, my purpose in this post is to recommend that anyone who is not on a team, join one. If nothing else it links you with other sellers. When someone in your team gets a treasury they will look within the team, and other buyers may choose to search for others on that team. In closing it is a good idea and you shouldn't miss out :)sue114http://www.blogger.com/profile/00771258977939047561noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561558324500318563.post-74439303426159077662010-01-19T12:59:00.000-08:002010-01-19T13:05:03.200-08:00Wholesale<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbOTtmkXKfu4d2IfzCnLntPnPTeZa7-PBewbKAjcfEn6vP1NMRz928OnnpZHH6utHo37pe5d6TwkSNKvjo58gVKQUT8OCk9InYNFDhvTDNWzE3fk3K5Fa3DhoPoyEUjSpErsEvb9jlonZ4/s1600-h/Purses+076.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428559904166868754" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 160px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbOTtmkXKfu4d2IfzCnLntPnPTeZa7-PBewbKAjcfEn6vP1NMRz928OnnpZHH6utHo37pe5d6TwkSNKvjo58gVKQUT8OCk9InYNFDhvTDNWzE3fk3K5Fa3DhoPoyEUjSpErsEvb9jlonZ4/s200/Purses+076.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Hi all, as usual I have not been a good blogger. I rarely have much information to share, but this week I have something I think is of interest. I have a wholesale order that I am doing for some dresses. I am really excited about it (even though I sold them for way to cheap). The thought that there will be 50 dresses out there with my name on them, I just can't put it into words. </div><br /><div>Now onto another wholesale topic, I put in lots of bids on wholesale and I got one back the other day asking for samples. I replied that I would be willing to sell the item for full price and if they order 5 or more would reimburse the full price, but would also give them the wholesale pricing on the new order. I think this is a great way to protect yourself. I have seen other bids asking for items to try out on there own kids and if they like them then they will order more.

This weeks favorite is something that I think is super cute. Anyone who follows my blog know by now that I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter, and therefore am always looking for fun things for her. She is in a ballet class and this would be adorable to give to all the girls at the end of the year. But I digress, the seller I am featuring this week is <a href="http://www.maderasytrapos.etsy.com/">http://www.maderasytrapos.etsy.com/</a> she doesn't list a location, but I have a pretty good feeling that it is somewhere where Spanish is the main language. She only lists shipping to the US and it is very reasonable (only $3). I would definitly check out her site, she has other great items (cake toppers and other gift items). Let me know what you think, and of course let her know too :)</div>sue114http://www.blogger.com/profile/00771258977939047561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561558324500318563.post-44946724603287759002009-10-30T06:00:00.000-07:002009-10-29T17:24:55.385-07:00Favorites Friday<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicz0JzHZbmgVqQPxLrp5YQy3pOjMLDKsQEYYfYfT49-v2Mr2E6xQQcnjEoI8AWDqNFT5uKKREkWuEIIKqlw29MSqQynck0CBrZvH8Lk0OQcy4tqdA89JOYE-EzCheS4xvxZrsZneYQf0KK/s1600-h/teaset.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 163px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398181172620153602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicz0JzHZbmgVqQPxLrp5YQy3pOjMLDKsQEYYfYfT49-v2Mr2E6xQQcnjEoI8AWDqNFT5uKKREkWuEIIKqlw29MSqQynck0CBrZvH8Lk0OQcy4tqdA89JOYE-EzCheS4xvxZrsZneYQf0KK/s200/teaset.jpg" /></a><br /><div>This week my favorite is a women who makes the cutest little tea sets. When I was a little girl I would have died for something this adorable. They are made by KymminNC.etsy.com who of course I met in chat.</div><br /><div>They are also really reasonable at between $40 and $45 a set I think they are a steal. </div><div> </div><div></div><div></div><div>I know I have mentioned this several times, but for new sellers I would definitely check out the chat rooms. I know it can seem intimidating, but once you have done it a few times you'll see it is really no big deal. The best part is it is free exposure, most of my favorites I have found in chat rooms.</div><br /><div>So....Please check out her shop and enjoy :)</div>sue114http://www.blogger.com/profile/00771258977939047561noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561558324500318563.post-43910828805609075682009-10-23T08:10:00.000-07:002009-10-24T11:58:06.406-07:00Favorites Friday<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMr_hyCMmyxiTT-lgkpTL6rwRtl_WOS-ORf3FXVyo3NUnB_kf243t3zEx2ILI0me2DwDiF_jluponetnxdCFRZgEEE5aakfZEFvRK_8S_0CF3GPDQdIwMCHu3M_4F_tMeo54IM1x-X7pEA/s1600-h/Zafras.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395815503971245602" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMr_hyCMmyxiTT-lgkpTL6rwRtl_WOS-ORf3FXVyo3NUnB_kf243t3zEx2ILI0me2DwDiF_jluponetnxdCFRZgEEE5aakfZEFvRK_8S_0CF3GPDQdIwMCHu3M_4F_tMeo54IM1x-X7pEA/s200/Zafras.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>This week my favorite is again something that I saw in the chat rooms. I have to say for anyone looking for some good exposure I would definitly do the chat rooms. They are alot of fun, you meet some really cool people, and you get free exposure. I've made 2 sales and at least 3 trades from chat rooms.</div><br /><div>Anyway.... back to my favorite for the week. I saw these cute little guys in the chat rooms and fell in love. They are made by <a href="http://www.zafras.etsy.com/">http://www.zafras.etsy.com/</a> She only has a few too choose from (which is probably a good thing since I wouldn't be able to decide between even what she has) but they are all adorable.</div><br /><div>This one is named Sweetums, which I would say seems appropriate. Some of the others are Ellie, Murple, and AyLee Ann.</div><br /><div>As I always say please check out her shop and show her some Etsy love.</div>sue114http://www.blogger.com/profile/00771258977939047561noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561558324500318563.post-83979538386546007672009-10-21T09:09:00.000-07:002009-10-21T09:11:55.517-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2NCJUhXlJZqbLCZDz6qh1EzZjf-_TnLA9WWgV5TqI6y0TUz0MHlXeR8z34vT3lOuelHdmI-0de8aZmTrRA2xTXrrC__LvblXT-vOhvxBeBHUqbXAr_QJwMwwi9JCJZGoTMmTup1GhezwF/s1600-h/Purses+109.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395086536349440882" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 178px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2NCJUhXlJZqbLCZDz6qh1EzZjf-_TnLA9WWgV5TqI6y0TUz0MHlXeR8z34vT3lOuelHdmI-0de8aZmTrRA2xTXrrC__LvblXT-vOhvxBeBHUqbXAr_QJwMwwi9JCJZGoTMmTup1GhezwF/s200/Purses+109.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I have not been a good blogger lately. I always feel like I am doing it more for myself, but I guess that is ok too. I have added a new hat to my page. It is one that I made for my daughter (guess she is a good muse). We decided to add the flower with a button so I can change it out when the mood strikes her.</div><div>Also, I am hosting a giveaway on handmademovement.com the home home of the sneak attack. It is for one of my dolls if anyone is interested check it out.

I don't usually do jewelry because I do my own. But I do the more basic thing of stringing.

They are all cut pieces and she even does custom initals that are beautiful!!!</div><br /><div>Please check out her site and let her know how much you enjoy her work too.</div>sue114http://www.blogger.com/profile/00771258977939047561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561558324500318563.post-27642706524152314062009-10-02T06:39:00.000-07:002009-10-02T09:03:10.375-07:00Favorites Friday<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKGDv_1bA8mQkryxiC5MtBNwV1m4sly3nQbZICjnU8y0TAXDtx7rwKUQ6wTK49aHaXD6rcrqLDUFMxfNUYvN0FikPF_P9LOPlziksiRm0Kpq92HurveAZxEj5WWk-2Bgh214sBaXXnrIdE/s1600-h/harf1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387998291076703426" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKGDv_1bA8mQkryxiC5MtBNwV1m4sly3nQbZICjnU8y0TAXDtx7rwKUQ6wTK49aHaXD6rcrqLDUFMxfNUYvN0FikPF_P9LOPlziksiRm0Kpq92HurveAZxEj5WWk-2Bgh214sBaXXnrIdE/s200/harf1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>Ok this week my favorite is just something fun. I can crochet, but knitting is whole other animal. This week I am featuring Amberae.etsy.com She has come up with this great idea called "harfs". They are both a hat and a scarf. I am showing the photos of all because I don't think they can truly be appreciated otherwise. I think they would make <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbLitqaaQ4ppNv2g800WcOvek4AHPD_fnnezOju-frqA90Zr7FmBfqmZCwwbHJ54ga3QtSm5Sr_0W8Igrz_tkD_I2ftbwsID-L2M6cstwSfjY5nbacpAODGhQh3CPJK5rTbS0oXX96v7BV/s1600-h/harf2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387998374664646242" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbLitqaaQ4ppNv2g800WcOvek4AHPD_fnnezOju-frqA90Zr7FmBfqmZCwwbHJ54ga3QtSm5Sr_0W8Igrz_tkD_I2ftbwsID-L2M6cstwSfjY5nbacpAODGhQh3CPJK5rTbS0oXX96v7BV/s200/harf2.jpg" border="0" /></a>wonderful gifts for men or women, especially considering you can choose your color.

For those of you who do not know what that is (myself included) it is a "buy and replace" deal. Basically you have to buy onto the list (which was easy, we have some great sellers) and then once you are there you basically have lots of exposure since whenever anyone clicks on the post in the forum they see your name and what you sell. I am on the BNR that is hosted by ddots, so just type in BNR in the forum titles and search for the one w/ddots. </div><br /><br /><br /><div>I also have to say regarding the BNR this is an excellent group of women. They all are very supportive and active in the group so it makes you feel very welcome.</div><br /><br /><br /><div>Thanks all and have a wonderful weekend.</div>sue114http://www.blogger.com/profile/00771258977939047561noreply@blogger.com5
