M.I.A.

I'll be back to blogging tomorrow.

It is Sundance Film Festival week here in Utah.

That means snowboarding, films, gawking, and partying.

(and usually in that order!)

Come back tomorrow for some local Etsy favorites!

Bring it on!

I have *always* wanted to be on a Design Team!

*ALWAYS*

Maybe it's the desire to be validated, to be acknowledged, or something else.

But to be quite frank, I've never really put my heart into an entry call.

So I did this time..

Here is my "Angels in the Garden" entry.

The Design Team is for a company that sells charms.

It is my first bib necklace and I'm in L-O-V-E.

Not sure if I'd make these for Etsy since the market is quite saturated,

but who knows maybe you'll see more in the shop..

Hope you love it!

And send me some of the positive vibes,

it would make my 2010 to be on a Design Team!

Local Etsy - Friday Favorites

I can't begin to tell you how sad I was to read that one

of our local Utah blogs is closing down.

I love "Your Heart Out"

Each week I would eagerly check to see if they

would feature my shop in their local Etsy favorites.

And I'm proud to say I made it there twice.

Now while I don't believe my tiny itty bitty blog

will ever be as popular as YHO,

I want to carry on one of their traditions.

Each Friday I will each feature some of

my personal Etsy favorites from my fellow Utahans!

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Garnet Garnet and a tad more Garnet

Later this week I will be adding to the store a new and wholly creative line.

I will be featuring framed mini art quilt & fabric pieces.

The series will include the monthly birthstones, Zodiac signs, quotations,

and many other tidbits that interest me.

If you have a request, just drop me a line.

Also included in my January garnet series,

is this ready 2 ship "Garnet Lotus Cuff"

at only $15.00 it is shipped completely gift wrapped.

I crocheted it with a merino wool/acrylic blend fiber

and added black glass beads for the Lotus centers.
