Wands

I just learned that one of my friends makes these really cool wands. I had no idea he loved Harry Potter as much as I do (Ok, he might love it a little more than me if that is possible).

Here are a couple of the wands that he makes. I just think they are too cool. I really do think I need to have one. :)

His shop on etsy is lighthill01. I just love all the hand carving and detail that goes into his wands. And the finishes. :) Awesome job Matt!!

Note: I think Matthew has closed his wand shop at the moment, but I can forward messages along to him if you are interested in a wand...

Creative Zen

My friend Kay opened up her own etsy store, CreativeZen. I blogged about her beautiful crochet flowers last week. She does such awesome crochet work, everything I've seen her do has come out so beautiful!

Check out her etsy store. I know she'll be adding lots of other great stuff too!

Swarovski Crystal Earrings

Here are 2 pairs of earrings I worked on today. I've been fitting in making earrings between cleaning, designing, and watching my new favorite show NCIS. Who doesn't love Mark Harmon! LOL

I forgot that I had these findings, and I thought I'd make a couple of pairs of earrings to sell on etsy. I made myself a pair of these with dark blue crystals that were so beautiful that I thought someone else might enjoys these as well.

Will post more as I make them! :)

I'm Finished!!!

I just now finished embroidering the 15 jackets for the Fremont Flyers. YAY! They have a tournament Saturday, and practice tomorrow, so it's great that they'll get to use them this weekend. I'll take a photo of them tomorrow and show you how they turned out. It was a bit of a challenge trying to hoop the Medium size ones.

I started off with the XXL ones for the coaches, and worked my way down to the size Mediums. It's like a puzzle, trying to figure out how you're going to miss snaps while hooping. I realized I can move the embroidery in the hoop to adjust for the placement of snaps.

I'm just glad there were no mishaps!

And another thing I'm excited about is I've had my first sale on Etsy! I always wonder if anyone else will like my pieces. And I always am happy when someone does. It gets me excited. Kind of like when I would draft things on paper, and then see it in real life. The first time I saw the Air bearing slide I drew back from the machinist, I was just in awe! LOL

Thank you to all my friends for all their encouragement and support! I love you gals!

Art by Wendy

Are these not the cutest kittens you've ever seen in a painting?? OMG, I was doing my etsy surfing, and found this wonderful store with the most beautiful paintings...Artbywendy

Of course I love all of her paintings, she has the best mermaid, fairies, and dragons. And you know me, being the CCLDTS, I love the kitties most of all.

If you haven't seen her art yet, check her out. And check out all the other artists at the etsy site. They are making the most wonderful things! From time to time I'll post something here that I truly love!

More etsy

This is a Halloween bracelet I made today. I changed it from what it used to look like just to have something different. It's going to be a one of a kind cause I don't have any more skull beads. But I think it turned out cute. I have to make a pumpkin bracelet next cause I love those little pumpkins.
And I finally put up the Webkinz sleeping bags on etsy. Aren't they cute? LOL I think I might have posted them here before. I actually sold a few at the flea market the other day, and the kids really love them! Here's a picture of Allie with her Webkinz! :)

I'm also excited because 4 people have added me as their favorite shop! How cool is that?!?! And a couple other people have marked things as their favorites. I'm glad they like the stuff!

Hope you all are having a good weekend!

Earrings

I added some earrings to my etsy site. I love making earrings and I hope people will like them too. :) These are a couple of the pink earrings I was working on. I have got to do other colors too! LOL

Looziana Designs

Ok, I finally did it! I overcame my fear and put a couple of things up on Etsy. They are the pink and fall colored bracelets. I am hoping that they will sell. Cross your fingers everyone!

Here is the link to my shop. Ok, I should say OUR shop. The boys and I are going to sell things in this etsy shop. I'm hoping that Al will make some of his welded animals. :) They are too cool. LOL

And Phil and Philip always come up with neat off the wall things.

So we'll see how we do.
