Having passed the 100 likes mark on Facebook, I am having the promised drawing for my shop. 😀

Here are the goodies!

1. A pair of custom earrings from my shop.

2. A t-shirt designed just for this contest.

3. One of my triple headbands with braided ties in your choice of up to three colors.

4. … & a $10 gift certificate to my shop (& only MY SHOP.  Etsy is very clear that I must make it very clear to you my gift certificates are only good at my shop.  So don’t try to use them at the liquor store.  It won’t work).  There will also be other random trinkets & candies, of the non-melty variety of course.  It’s in the 90s here, so I won’t be sending out ice cream & chocolates.

Also, I will be drawing for two $5 gift certificates with custom triple headbands.

* In the event one of my male fans wins, alternative prizes can be arranged.  The same goes for people who don’t wear pierced jewelry for religious reasons, or the like.  I want you to have something you can enjoy!

On to the rules!

Crochet Watermelon Earrings

I’ve been working on some new items for my shop, & there earrings are the first thing.  I don’t have enough of the floss I used for these left to make another pair, so they may show up in other colors.  I wanted to be able to use these pics anyways, so when I typed up the pattern for my own reference, I thought, “Hey, why don’t I post this on my blog?”

So here you go.

SALE!

One of a Kindness

Since I built a light box the new items I am adding have better pictures than my previous listings. I’m also punching up my listings. I don’t want to go back & update the old listings, so I marked them all 50% for 24hrs. Until Fri @ 10pm CST all my current listings are half off. Plus, if you use the coupon code IMLAZY you can get free shipping, US only.

I photographed the process of making a collapsible light box entirely from items on hand, so it was free.  I’ll be posting that tomorrow.

I also made some turnip green gnocchi for lunch, which was a delicious experiment, & will be posting about that soon.

Plus, the new earrings I’m in the middle of listing right now.  And another Pinterest inspired project or two.  Oh, & a DIY version of a cool product I saw in a magazine.  I have more ideas than energy/time!

Treasury Madness!

I finally made my first treasury.

And my second.

And my third.

I’m learning as I go, & I seem to find things in one treasury that won’t work for that theme, but inspire another.

Here are the three I have made so far.  I spent much longer on tonight’s than the other two, but I was specifically looking for items that had not been featured yet & especially from smaller sellers.

The first: Alabama Summertime
Summer theme featuring Alabama sellers
The theme was built around some of my earrings before I realized you’re not supposed to include your own items.  Oops.  I decided to go ahead & use them because I had built the treasury around them, & I find myself become less flexible as I get older, but I did put them last.  After it was published, I noticed I also used the same seller twice.  She is one of my teammates, so I picked her shop that way.  I didn’t realize it was the same shop when another of her items came up in a general search for summer themed items from Alabama sellers.  Since my noob was showing in this one, I had to make another one fast to redeem myself.

Never Too Old For Cartoons
Some of my favorite cartoons, because being a grown up is overrated.
This one was inspired by another teammate who makes Pokemon jewelry.

Unsung She-roes
Bad ass women who haven’t been featured before.
This treasury was sparked by the She-ra & Teela magnets I used in the cartoon treasury.

I should go back to work now…  I have several pairs of earrings that need to be listed, & more stuff to be made.  I’m like a raccoon with a shiny object, easily distracted & frequently trapped.
