better way to manage postage

there has got to be a better way to manage postage. i must go to the usps website to see if they have a solution. this is serious, it is really crappy outside and i don't want to walk down to the postoffice plus place right now....mreh!

crafters for critters

i am really excited, i heard back from the gal tonight and yay i am going to contribute! hopefully within the next couple weeks--depending on how things go here. woot woot go me i am stoked!

just sold!

on my etsy 5 minutes after listing i sold one of these hairbobbies--cute!

can't sleep!

so i thought i would update alittle! the site is hopping, and thanks to referrals from here, there and everywhere i see some folks coming back to see what is new and i totally am stoked on that....i even had my first sale today! i track customers on all my sites and i see folks coming from as far as singapore--japan, i even had one from australia yesterday. it is so cool to be able to SEE who is coming to visit and from WHERE. repeat customers, even if to look usually are super cool. unless they are wierdos, but that is another story!

also i contacted the folks from crafters for critters and am hoping to be accepted to contribute some stuff. i got some new supplies coming in the mail that would be *purrrrfect* for animal causes. ha ha--goto their website www.craftersforcritters.com to check out how you can help animals in need. there are a ton of great links and i would be so happy to get involved with such a great organization--my daughter thinks we should sponser a rescued farm animal on the sanctuary and that is not a bad idea someday soon i hope. she is not a half bad activist if i don't say so myself! :)

thanks for looking!

live and direct!

the site is live! click the banner to go see! i am a happy clam!

saccityrollers sponser supreme!

i am going to sponser my homegirl kristie on her roller derby team! best way to get my business out there, and help out that broke-assed B#$%*! she is the most and i love her. go k!

stay on target!

i am almost to the finish line with the site. seriously i am stoked. there are just a few buggs to get out hopefully tomorrow and i dunno--maybe a site relaunch over the weekend? and here is lil'ol me again.....

new stuff a comin'

i cannot wait for a couple packages i have on the way. i don't want to spoil the surprise but this stuff is pretty cool and will be great for the new site. i keep getting these updates on how it is going, by the way and it looks fabu, if i don't say so myself! it looks...so professional. so, so, pretty. i could not be happier with it so far. over the weekend i had to send in sample pictures and some details and such for the initial setup. i cannot wait for when it is under my control and up and running for real.


on bummer thing is that some dude on ebay is jerking me around with payment--thankfully i did not ship the item but i need the $$ in my paypal. crafting supplies. must have crafting supplies. this guy is a real piece of work. hmmph. we will see. he has until tomorrow to pony up the goods. :(


i can't wait to post pictures of these new items. i am really excited to offer them!

vi-ola!

here we are with the finished packaging. alittle rough around the edges, but then again, so am i!

mania

what is it?
'tis half the sampler contribution, minus the packaging! i found out that it is run out of good ol' sacto ca and also they pass the samplers along to magazine editors and zine people far and wide. how exciting. more pictures of the finished product this weekend! ;)

new pin!

sampler=love

what a kick in the ass! got the green light from the sampler tonight and the timing could not be better. emailed the webdesign gals to see if they can expedite a banner for me and i will be sending over the info to the sampler tomorrow. will be alittle disappointed if the banner will take a day or two, but i can always send it in later. i am so excited, and the gal was super nice. she even commented on the picture quality. nice! diggity-dog i am so stoked. gonna have to take a tylenol pm to sleep right now, my mind is racing with a hundred ideas.

pictures tomorrow of new pin made tonight. glue is drying and i am flipping out. manana.

rebel craft fair redux

damn if that did not get pushed back until april 28th! now, part of me is bummed. part of me is relieved. part of me says, wait a minute what if i get the green light for craftywonderland in april and i have *TWO* in one month. whoa. well, more time to get some new packaging, something snazzy. i applied for the sampler, and if i make 50 of anything i think it ought to have a nice package for those lucky sampler subscribers. but that is if i get the green light there, too. *crossing fingers*

love for sale....

not really, just buttons and accessories! today i got a lead on 40 felt pins for another etsy seller to use with her purses and shoes. i hope that goes thru, for the word of mouth value alone. and good news, the gal with the green sunglass purse came through and it is going out tomorrow for her! trying to highlight the positive, since i feel so personally crappy with a cold and pms. but that which does not kill me, makes me stronger: to make more stuff!

new pouch at never felt better!

i did end up working last night, and came up with this! recon cord and applique pouch!

this week

this week i am going to make some minipillows from some great fabric i got and also hook up some new buttons. the new button sets should be here today or tomorrow. i am experiencing a cold at the moment, so i don't know how much i am going to be feeling like working at this stuff at least today. i am going to go and curl up on the new sofa and think about what to make next. sorry if i don't post as much as last week--i know how much you *love* to read up on me...er, i mean neverfeltbetter! (wink wink)

pouch finished!

the pouch is all done, i hope she likes it. with the green cord and the leaves theme of her choice it looks awfully fall-ish. check out the full felt button moon! anyway here is a peek. some of the glue is still drying so it looks funky but it will dry clear. trust me.

drawstrings are hard!

they seem really simple, but as it proves they are harder than they seem! i am working on the commisioned sunglass pouch today. i will have pictures later,but i just had to bitch about drawstrings. as if you cared. which you do. should come out pretty freaking cute, and at least i called the right fabric for the gal which she is leaving alot up to me but let me know her fav colour and also what to have on it image wise. pictures later tonight! :)

oh and i ordered some better button sets for my machine. i was wondering why these were so hit and miss, turns out the buttons that come with it are kinda booty to work with. no i have 100 second day'ed and they should make a huge difference. of course, pics to follow of new batches.

gemini power!

new necklace displaying the awesomness that is: gemini

some felt for your jonz!

some new buttons. did you know felt makes an excellent button? have a felt fetish? these can give you alittle piece of your favorite fabric anywhere you go!

rabbit button sold and some more

here are some fuzzy pink boys and the rabbit button from the previous post is sold as of this am, but i have more of the fabric so i will make some more up today. ps. it is truelly 28 degrees here with a wind chill factor of oh, say 10 degrees? wtf!!!

buttons!

who loves their button maker? meeeeeeeeeee! i am waiting on a package of some new fabric and flat ring backs, so in the meantime i am getting the feel of this little machine. i swear, i took out the instructions and it looked like greek at first but now i am churning them out with fair success. i am keeping the ones that aren't perfect, but fabric is iffy and you have to have it just so for them to cover properly. these are not up on etsy, yet. i am debating wether to have them singular, or put them in coordinating sets when they are all finished. :) yay for fun

being vegan paid off today

in more ways than usual! a fellow vegan contacted me after some spamming about my shop (not really but it can feel like it sometimes) and she wants me to make her a sunglasses pouch. how cool is that. i don't know what it is this week, but i hope it continues because this is some good shit here. seriously. maybe it was the no life accusation! thanks to you, i have had the best week of late! no rilly. thank you.

ahoy!

to make up for the loss of my beloved anchor i made this pin today, approx 3"x2":

available here

more sales redux

more sales this am...i will miss this little guy alot but i think i shall make some new versions. i got alot of good feedback on this. an old coworker of mine who has her finger on the pulse of what rocks said she is obsessed with cowboy stuff. could this be next? hmmm.

i have got to do some more crafting today to make up for a boom in sales. when stuff catches fire, it catches fire! :)

bust!

just became a member of the gww on bust. check it out under the 'got a life-she's crafty' section....bwhahahahahaha didn't i just stand accused of not having a life! i guess this, amongst all the other daily affirmations is proof positive! ;)
