What am I up to?

Well, things have been busy....I have a show coming up on the 27th! I realized this weekend that the 27th is next Saturday and I just looked at my husband and said "I'M LATE". I have to get my booth "stuff" together and not to mention....make some more wonderful creations! But, it will all come together...it always does, right?

This is my latest photo and listing on Etsy. I was quite pleased with this picture of a Great Horned Owl. Such a beautiful creature!

Also, this is something that I am so, so proud of...my first felted creation. I knit this scarflette the other day and today the magic happened.....I felted it!

Now, I know the pin doesn't look like it matches but, trust me, it does! Perfectly!! Blue, purple, gray and about 4 different shades of green make this yarn so incredibly pretty.

Okay, off to do some beading...and laundry...throw in cooking dinner and it will be multitasking at its best !

Autumn? What's that?

Just last week it was 92 degrees.....a couple of days ago the high was 68.....today it will be back up to about 80. This is how we all get sick!!!! But, I think - well, I'm hoping - that it will become Autumn like soon!!!

And when it does, my hand knit wraps will keep you very warm!

Also, today I am highlighting the EtsyGreetings latest promotion. Stop by and check out our current list of Fall/Thanksgiving cards all handmade by the EtsyGreetings Street Team

Where does the time go?

Things here have been super busy! Between the business, family and taking some time for myself...sometimes I don't know if I'm coming or going!

Let me first start off by saying that I love the Outer Banks! That's where we went on our vacation in August. Lovely, beautiful, relaxing...I can go on and on! Looking forward to going back next Summer.

And now back to business. Big news from The Eclectic Studio.....I am SO happy to introduce everybody to my friend Jennifer. She is somebody that I have grown very close to since moving to North Carolina. One day, while telling her my deep, dark fear of rejection, she offered to help out with approaching stores, promoting on Etsy and finding other places to advertise. So, while she handles all advertising and promotions, I can CREATE! YAY! I really feel that this will be a great move for The Eclectic Studio and I see us working very well together and taking the business to the next level.

In the meantime, I have posted my Autumn notecards. I seriously need to start working on my Christmas/Winter cards!

I hope everybody has a wonderful weekend! Enjoy!

Going on Vacation!!!

So, tomorrow I am leaving on a well deserved vacation! Meeting my brother and his family at the Outer Banks, NC and then flying up to visit family & friends in NY! I can't wait!!!!

So, I will have internet access but I will not be shipping out orders until Monday, 8/27.
