First Sticker for the Truck!!

Hi All!!!

i have been absent from etsy and my blog for a while... at work i am more busy and have limited internet browsing capability...if at all...so i can't etsy all day like the last 2 weeks :)

Also i have been a little under the weather... feverish and achy...but when i got home today i had mail, and it was NOT A BILL :) which put me in a much better mood!

it is the first sticker for the truck! it is from artsyclay on etsy! She makes really cute clay gifts and jewelery...as well as cute stickers and well made business cards!!! For the artists privacy i blacked out her email and phone number, but if you want some artsyclay for yourself let me know and i will ask her if i can give you the info :)



I was so happy to open my mail box and have something that wasn't a bill or junk mail!!! thanks artsyclay! you made my day!

Mass-Market Goodies

Ok, so i didn't buy anything at mass-market... it was dark and hard to look at things. also nothing was really my style and the things that might have been were too expensive for my budget... but i did go in the swap room and traded in some grosgrain ribbon and fabric for these little goodies :)

I don't know what to do with it...but it was too pretty to leave...maybe i will start knitting again :)

Awesome felt assortment :) so pleased with that!!!

Some Fun Fabrics to make little card cases with!

My next teeny little super guys may have tutus with all this fun tulle!

And i call this my new craft dress... this summer once i stop working... between accounting and selling ice cream (3 weeks) i will wear this dress as i sew to my hearts content!

And all this fun stuff cost me nothing!!! well, i did donate supplies and donated some extra money to the fund raiser... but the whole day of looking and donating only cost me $4! which to me is awesome... Hope you all had a super sunday :)

Sunday

Today is the last day of the weekend, so naturally i am disappointed... and hungry...i am waiting for the BF to wake up so we can eat breakfast. Today i will try to craft something...anything and i am going to mass market.

yesterday we ...

....went to stop and shop
....went to staples for our ice cream cash boxes
....went to jo-ann fabrics for interfacing and snaps
....went to AC moore for stickers and a craft knife
....Did our mountain of laundry

i am getting more and more excited about all the things i will be getting in the mail from awesome etsy sellers... later today i will post who they are! i never get mail, and love fun non-bill mail so i am like a little kid on Christmas Eve!

Friday aka FREE DAY!

no fun pics for this post :(

i am at work...blah but i will post for real soon :)

this weekend my plans are:

1. think about doing a craft show (logistics, timing, possibility etc.)
2. go to mass market :)
3. make some more thing... i am in a rut :(

and please everyone go to my BEFF (best etsy friend forever)s new blog... she is super special :)

Calling all Etsy Sellers! Etsy my truck!

So this summer the BF and i are going to be ice cream drivers! Last night i was thinking of how to decorate my truck inexpensively and i though "hey! maybe some etsy people would wanna send items to decorate my truck and promote their shops!" So i added a thread in the forums and people have been soooo great! i am so excited about the response and am on the way to an ice cream etsy mobile!!!

Here are pics from last year! my truck will be so much better than this :)

You all need to come visit me on the Cape!!! and see the etsy mobile!!!

End of the Weekend :(

The end of the weekend always depresses me. the work week looms ahead and all i can think about are all the things i wanted to get done and didn't have time/was too lazy to do.

However i did accomplish one thing i wanted to do! I finished batch 1 of my teeny little guys. I am going to make them in batches of 5, and each batch will have a theme... these guys are plain but future guys will have bow-ties, be girls, etc. I am happy with how they came out... i just hope they sell. i am iffy about the pricing... they are $16/each, but they have hand embroidered faces and i hand sew the faces to the bodies and machine sew the actual body, but doing that plus hand sewing the heart and sewing on snaps takes a long time!!! I know if they were cheaper they would sell faster, but i keep reminding myself thats not what etsy is all about.

So, enough about my neurosis, let me introduce you to my TEENY LITTLE SUPER GUYS!!!!!

The Whole Family :)

Now here is each little guy...in order of creation :)

Good Morning!

I realized that i am only really good at blogging on the weekend...

Ok, so here is what i have been doing during the week! I made some prototype Business Cards and some magnets to send to a promo event!!! The Business cards didn't come out so good, the BF will have to print them at work, but the magnets are rockin'!!! (If you wanna make magnets too they are from magnet sheets at Staples, the glossy ones!)

I am going to post later today or tomorrow with the FULL teeny little super guy (Batch 1) Family! So come back to see 'em!
