We need Your Opinion!

Yes we need your opinion on our poll! Do you like cup cozies? Would you buy them made from leather with painted designs? After you vote in our poll Reply to this thread about your ideas on why or why not we should do this. We understand that many other sellers out their make them, this is not why we were thinking about it. Our leather ones will look like corsets with painted designs. We were thinking Celtic knots, Trinity Knots, Ivy leaves and vines, states, shield crests and the list goes on for days. Our knitted ones would have fun fur edging, some without it. With many colors and designs as our leather ones. We are not trying to copy anyone or steel anyones ideas. Its something that we have been talking about for some time now. We would like your opinion on this. It will help with our decision. We are working with sketch designs at the moment nothing has been made. This poll closes on February 14th please make sure you vote in it. Thanks and have a great Day!

Another random Day

Today Is another random day. It started as a cold and rainy morning and became a beautiful sunshine day. The weather was nice no jackets necessary. Truly a nice day. Days like this makes me giddy because I know spring is on the way. I really love the fresh green colors and the bright colors of tulips (my favorite flower). I grew up in Washington State I lived on Whiby Island (Oak Harbor). I loved the tulips in the spring. We would go to the Holland Happening Parade in the morning then we would take a drive to the Big Dutch Wind Mills. In front they would have tulips everywhere of all colors. It was so pretty! I surly miss those days and I no longer have those pictures of my child hood. But to stand on the gravel walks and see fields of red, yellow, blue, purple, pink and white tulips were an amazing sight. because in the backdrop was the Harbor surrounded by mountains. I can still remember the old light house that guarded the Harbor. It was so long ago but at times it felt as if it were yesterday. I miss my old wooden shoes and my hat from those days but I will always hold them in my heart!

Today's Random Stuff!

Happy Monday!
Today seams to be dark and cold, but why should our eye candy? While cleaning out my etsy favorites (most were sold!) I came across a lonely shop. Go To Great Panes a stained glass shop. This artist has some great looking pieces. The colors and shapes worms even the chill from my monitor. I remembered that the artist had given me an image a while ago to use at one of our craft fairs.

I made this:


From The Sacred Oak


With This: http://sarecen1.webng.com/data/banner%20sales%20page.html

You need a program the unzips the file. Its worth the $3.00! I simply plugged in the image addy that i uploaded in photobucket and plugged in the necessary fields. Now I know most of you know how to do this on your own but for those who are super busy its great! I have 2 kids 3 and 2 one with special needs the other super smart. I really don't have time to write code so this is wonderful. It took me seconds to generate a banner that I can use. Just generate the html code and copy and past it where you want it. Simple fast and easy.

2 ways to get the program order it from our online website or send me a message and I will e-mail you a pay pal invoice. Once payment is received I will e-mail you the zip file. Again You must have a program to UNZIP the File! We get hundreds of E-mails asking how to open the zip file. Please make sure to have a program a great one is winzip.com

Thanks and have a super week!

Over the year we have come across some talented and amazing people. We would like to share some of the people we have stumbled upon and found their amazing items.
First up is Vegan Yum Yumwith Knit Night Cupcakes. Such amazing photos and breath takeing details in her work. The cupcakes are decorated with Icing that looks like real knitting items! Truly ediable works of Art! cheek out the reast of her blog to find other amazing things with food!

Next we came across The biggest Yarn stash (so far)? This is truly a shrine to yarn. Such colors, textures, and it just makes you go in and wish you could owen all the softness. And here to think my hubby was upset over the few yarn skiens I have, How can I ever compare to such a beutiful stash of Yarn!?

We have viewed some amazing artists from Etsy (oh so many to put in one post!) Each is unique and talented as the other. Sight to explore of all things handmade.
As I dig out more of the amazing artists and talented people I will share them with everyone. this past year has shown us that creativity and the realm of Imagination still lives. Either it be with food or fiber arts, their are amazing people and talented children out their, we just have to stop and say Wow that is just awsome!

Have a truly awsome year and may it be full of creativity, imagination and filled with the spirit of childhood and wonderment.
