Happy Birthday Vickie!!

Today is my sister's birthday. She came to visit me for a while and I got to enjoy chatting with her. She is super crafty so we always have a lot to talk about. I made her a glass tile necklace with a pretty butterfly on it and gave her 8 fat quarters of fabric. She loves fabric.!! well I do to but she actually uses most of hers while I just accumulate it like I do yarn.

Vickie, don't the butterflies look like the ones Brenda got you for your bd? I think they do.

Love ya Sis.

sock blocker keychain

Yesterday I ordered 2 sock key chain kits. I plan to keep one for myself and use the other one for a contest prize on my blog!

I also ordered more materials to make more square tile pendants. I have ribbon necklaces in 5 different colors and I've just ordered more ball chain necklaces for them as well.

I hope that you guys will go to my Etsy store and check it out every day. Who knows when you might find just the right thing for you? And you can also request custom items from there as well. Want to mention that I'm secretpal friendly. I can send straight to your pal for you.

I can put any photo that you send me on a pendant. Want one of your tabby? I can do that. Want one of your kids? I can do that too. Want a 1 inch photo magnet? Yep, I can do that for ya.- I got lots of skillz and am willing to share them with you.

Hey I can even hang a sheep from a ribbon necklace for you. Look.....

Sweet!!

New Award from Vanessa

I received this wonderful Rene Award from Vanessa-The Ohio Crafty Bug-.

Here is what her blog says about it.

The Renee Award. This Award was created by Bella and Ces in honour of their friend Renee, an incredible lady who in the face of a frightening life battle is tackling each day with great spirit and courage. Please check out the blogs of these three creative ladies.

Here is what Bella says of this award:"this is a brand new award and I have the pleasure and honor of spreading the seed, watching it grow. I hope it finds it's way to those who are like Renee: the acorn, a small package becoming a tall and sturdy oak, giving more acorns, becoming tall and sturdy oaks, giving acorns..."

Thank you Vanessa I appreciate it so much. I hope I can live up to it and give some acorns myself, to others.
