So I Adopted Mr.Owl

Well who could blame me. Once I read his back I was hooked. How could someone just throw him out like that? Well he is in good hands, in a foster home waiting to meet his new owner....

Aquatic Marine Starfish Sterling Silver Ring on Etsy

I posted a lot of new listings this month, I guess because I got a lot of sales this month (smiles) my first since December actually, a total of 6...not bad considering I was thinking about liquidating. Any ways this is my fav. Don't know why, he is just funky. Fishy. Blue. Just darn cute.

My Crafty Monday tip of the Day:

Oh how uninspired we are on Mondays....

No more time to relax, or clean, and for most of us, time to put our craft box away! time to go back to work and hold our breaths till Friday..

So I came up with a Crafty Monday tip of the day, where every Monday I will Post my favorate tip, it can be something Ive read, something Ive heard or just a simple little tip I have always used.

sooo drumroll please........

For all you wire workers or beaders, my tip of the day is to use TOOL MAGIC on all your pliers, such as needle noses, chain noses, round noses, and wire looping tools etc...

I highly recommend it! It used to be hard to find but now it is selling in most JoAnnes stores. I ordered mine from firemountaingems.com online for about 6 bucks but  I have been using the same bottle for about a year.

Use this if your pliers are leaving knicks and scratches in your wire, headpins, eye pins and jumprings etc...

Simply dip your pliers in the Tool Magic and let dry for a few hour and viola! No more lines and scratches in your wire!

Oh! and dont forget to always file down you wire ends so they don't poke...OUCH!

Thanks I hope this has inspired you to start a new project, and please check back next Monday for my newest tip of the day=0)

May 1st Craft Bazaar @ the Maple Valley Community Center

I will be attending this bazaar on May 1st! I am sooo excited!



This will be the first time that I have featured my jewelry at a craft bazaar so I am eager to see how it turns out. I have done many Bazaars before but I have always featured other arts and crafts such as paintings and wood projects like my drift wood santas!

Please stop in if you can make it! I will be featuring jewelry, vintage style key chains and handmade Mothers' Day cards.
