I am so excited because I got new bookshelves for Christmas. Today, my husband is setting them up. This will help me keep my arts and crafts organized because I will have room for all of my books!
As I cleaned up the area for the bookshelves, I found some pieces of fabric that I really [...]

After having my sister take pictures with my other sister’s camera, I know what I want for my birthday! A new camera. I’d like a Nikon. Probably $200 could buy me a decent one that would take close-up. My digital camera just stinks in comparision.
Then, on top of my camera problems, I can’t get my [...]

Ever since I started this Etsy thing, I find myself on the computer more and more and crafting less and less. Tonight I went on the forums trying to find ways to promote my work.
Here is one link that I posted a lot: http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5387323
I think these are beautiful earrings. They turned out very nice in [...]

I made my first sale! http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=6934057
I figured out why this item sold as well. I added a necklace to the earrings I had priced at $7. I meant to price this set at $15, and ended up selling it for $7. I don’t make as much money, but I am still happy. Hopefully I can [...]

My sister’s camera is great for close-ups. A. Onion and I went outside to take the pics. We used a pale yellow chair and two tea towels on the porch with a backdrop of rhododendron trees. Here are some of the best pictures for my Etsy page: http://smilesandsunshine.etsy.com.

Well, my family never believed in Santa Claus (gasp! I know.) So, we got to open our presents on Christmas Eve. My husband and I have been staying at my parent’s house for the last couple of days and we’ve been having a lot of fun.
Yesterday, I talked my mom and my sister into going [...]

Here are the pillowcases I begun yesterday. I was really looking forward to using the veregated #115 DMC embroidery floss that I purchased at Heart of the Home, but they are turning out differently than I expected. Here is the package with the example on it:
Here is how mine are turning out so far. The [...]
