Happy Belated Bday EtsyRain!

So yesterday was my local street team's 1st birthday, and I'm a nerd and totally forgot to post about it! *sorry!*

Happy Birthday EtsyRain!

We are a wonderful group of crafters in the Seattle metro area who all discuss, talk, share, play, craft, and hang out together.

One year ago it all started with about 20 members, but as of yesterday, we are closing in 400!!!

Yowza!

Just to brag about how awesome EtsyRain is....

We are a very active street team, who fully supports one another. We are having our own EtsyRain craft show on october 12, 2008 (two days after my birthday I might add), so feel free to come on by! It will be at St Edward's State Park in Kenmore, WA.

For our birthday celebration, we decided to do a reverse birthday gift and send a big ol' box of etsyrain gooies from various shops to the Etsy Admins back in New York! We included a disposable camera so they could take pics of themselves while opening the gift and trying things on ;) We all hope they really enjoy our gift, and see just how talented the Seattle EtsyRain team is!!

EtsyRain has done a few shows already this year, and I can't wait for the October one!

Whoo hoooooo!

I did It, I have a Business!

YAY! I'm so stinkin' happy right now! I went online and applied for my business license, and it seriously only took like ten minutes, but I even got to print out my UBI #. SWEET! I do still have to get a license for my city, and then any other city I plan on doing business in.... but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. But, just thought I'd share how happy I am and how good it feels to be *almost* legit :)

New Items!

I just listed some new items on my etsy shop, along with the brand spankin' new Eye Pillows:)

Feel free to pick one up!

Etsy Addicts Unite!

Thanks to KieutiePie for making a great blog for all etsy addicted people can come together and bond... and perhaps share some great finds:)
I posted a link to the blog on my Check This Out down to the right....
but here you go!

Enjoy!

First shipment

So I mailed out my first order today (well, techinically my second sale on etsy the first was local...) I wasn't sure on how to package it, so here is what I did. Also, what you can't see is a handmade circular tag that says my shop name and "instructions" on the backside, tied with ribbon and safety pinned to the top of the wheat bag. Let me know if you have any ideas to help improve it!!!

In a Treasury!

Thanks to TinyArtbyJMullin, I'm in my first treasury! Here's the link for it:

And I'm going to attempt to post a screenshot.

First Sale!

I was quite happy when i logged onto Etsy yesterday afternoon and saw my Chocolate Tiffany Wheat Bag sold! I do now have another item up for sale, I call it the Sherbert Paisley Muscle Relief Wheat Bag. ( I was advised by a fellow etsian to add Muscle Relief to my title to draw borwsers in....see?  I do listen!)

I am working on some more with the other fabrics I have (posted down below). 

I am all for Custom Orders, s if you have specific color scheme and/or 'flavor' (essential oil smell...) please let me know by contacting me on etsy and I will make a special listing just for you!

Sorry, I have no photos to post.... but imagine my smiley face with curly hair and pj's on!

:)

NEW FABRIC!

So I broke down and bought some fabric at Joann's today because as soon as I walk by them I get all of these great ideas!

So here are some sneak peeks of what I bought today, enjoy!
I bought some muslin, grey linene, some valentine's prints, the blue print and the circle print (don't they look like olives for a martini? very james bond-ish)
*Keep checking back to see what the fabric turns into....shhh!* :)

Swirls, dots, and Gladiators

So, I must admit something...
... I'm addicted to the new American Gladiators, just like I was with the original show. Stealth is from Bellevue, WA which I'm all about locals! yay!

So I'm attempting to post a couple pics on my apron I'm making...
I'm not sure on what to call it yet, but am open to any ideas!!

It is somewhat of a black and white floral/swirl design for the main fabric and black and white polka dots for the straps and pockets.

I will keep posting more photos of it as I go along! Feel free to critique and comment!

I can hardly move....

Oh my goodness....
I tried kickboxing for the first time EVER last night, and I must say I AM BEAT! I don't think I have ever been this sore before. I went to a group class with Rayford's (my boyfriend) sister, Melissa, last night and her boss Denise. It was only an hour, and it went by super quick. But I am definitley going back! Tuesdays and Thursdays....


Apron update:
I am almost finished with my first apron! I have taken a few pictures as I have been sewing and pinning it, but not sure on how to post them on here......
Be sure to check my etsy shop in February!!! ♥

I DID IT!

I FINALLY started my own shop on Etsy.com! I am quite excited right now, even though I don't have anything in it right now....
It will be primarily aprons right now, then I will start making bags, sacks, and more things.

I REALLY hope you all enjoy my etsy shop and feel free to swing on by and window shop! Don't be shy to leave me a note either!
