Paying Off

Only a week ago, I compiled a list of items that I was committed to for the year. One of them being that I was going to update my Etsy shop more regularly. This is one of the few ways to establish some type of web presence.  Due to the new listings in my shop, I am already starting to get some feedback. This week a couple of my pieces have made it into Etsy picks and a treasury.

This past Friday, I received and email notifying me that one of my pieces had been featured on a blog. Carola is a polymer clay artist, and makes wonderful beads, buttons, pill boxes, and a multitude of other neat gifts. She had featured my Masquerade charm bracelet in her Pretty in Pink Etsy picks for the week.  Pop on over to her blog Polymer Clay Shed, were she showcases pictures of her jewelry and beads, offers tutorials, and features her Etsy weekly picks.

In addition, a pair of earrings, Right Round, made it into The Copper Age Treasury. A lovely treasury filled with beautifully colored copper, be sure to check it out. This treasury was created by rainestudios. She a girl after my own heart, what wonderful chain maille she has in her shop.

Have a great rest of the weekend!

I'm Featured

I'm so excited...I have been featured on DZ Fantasy's Blog. I have had pictures of my pieces on other blogs before but not and actual "interview." Hum...I almost feel...um...famous. Yeah that's it, for one whole day her most recent blog will be devoted to my shop. Be sure to visit DZ Fantasy blog, she does such a great job featuring Etsy artists and their work. Also, be sure to visit DZ Fantasy Etsy shop and see the awesome fiber art she does. Just beautiful and you can even try to win one of her treasures. DZ Fantasy offers lots of giveaways on her blog.

Facted Aqua Briolette Earrings
Sienna Swirl Earrings

I absolutely can't believe that I have finally made it through this week!!

After a 2 week break school started back on Monday and so did everything else. It seems that when school is out so is everything else. So we go from being busy bees to a dead stop. I know...it's my fault but I got out of my routine. I wasn't getting up at my usual time, and didn't miss driving back and forth to school one bit. So anyway, I am SO over taxiing my kids to and from school this week. I HATE riding in the car as it is, so a 2 week break really set me back. Also, my daughter's gymnastics resumed, my son started basketball this week, and to top it all off my husband was out of town this week. Very Stressful!!

But the good news is...as usual I was visiting the community forums last night on etsy and I came across two other blogs that had featured something from my shop. Yeah! Rouge River Beads does a Get Inspired Challenge every week, so this week I submitted my Faceted Aqua Briolette Earrings, and they were chosen to be featured on the blog. In addition, Katwhitt features an etsy find of the day. On Wednesday, she featured my Sienna Swirl Earrings on her blog. I guess all the time spent at the computer promoting is worthwhile, but I like it so who cares.

The other good news is...I did get a chance to design a couple of new items this week. But, I have not had a chance to photo them yet. I oxidized and tumbled them today, so as soon as we have a nice sunny day I will get the camera out.

Stay posted for more...
