Been a While

2008-08-10T19:02:00.004-05:00

Sorry its been a while! I've added a full time job to my busy schedule. Working for Mayo Furniture Company as a body sewer. I've got lots of new items to list in the next week. I'm going to try to do 1 a day this week. So get on to me if I don't.
In other Etsy news: The seller RockADoodle is stealing other peoples items and pictures and selling them on Etsy as their own listings. They have stolen several of my friend, KaysKrafts, baby burp cloths and reused her pictures. Beware you other Etsyers. Check this awful person out and make sure she has not stolen any of your items.

I sold some jewelry! They saw it on my blog and emailed me about it. I'm so grateful when people decide to purchase from me. They have so many major retailers to buy from in their local communities and an unlimited amount of other options on the internet. So I want to send a special Thank You to her! Thank you!

Also a little Tutu top update! I have procured pink ginham and tulle to begin the project and will be starting on Saturday.

Bored with jewelery!

2008-07-05T10:52:00.006-05:00
