This hat features earflaps with braided ties and is black, grey and red. It looks to me like it would keep you nice and warm on a cold winter day.

This stunning "Hot N Heavy" necklace can be found at http://www.thebeadedlily.com/ This is a unisex necklace but I believe it would look so attractive on a man. It is made of with lava and pyrite with sterling silver findings.

Don't Be Scared


I made these adorable little guys out of Chinese take out boxes and goggle eyes. I left them as after school treats for my kids and they just loved them. I just used permanent marker to add the mouth and eyebrows and then I stuck the eyes on with glue dots. It was so easy that as soon as my 5 year old was done with the candy he made his own. I was lucky to find a whole bag of goggle eyes at the second hand store for $1.00 and I got about 40 take out boxes and a church sale this summer for a $1.00 so the whole project was pretty inexpensive. I am glad I found a use for the boxes because I they have been sitting for a while but it was such a great deal that I couldn't pass it up.

Im Off to See the Accountant, the wonderful Accountant!

Our first year as a business has ended and now we have to do our TAXES. I feel happy and sad all at the same time. I can’t believe a year has gone by and I am still at it. I love what we are doing and it is so fulfilling. I feel like it is time to set some new goals and push myself even harder to get things running. I believe it is time for a new momentum. I am going to speak to our accountant about our business structure, how I should be keeping records better, am I using all the deductions out there that I should and if I really can rent my Craft Cabin to our business. I do so love both sides of running a business. I feel I grow smarter every time a new challenge comes up in the business and I feel I grow as an artist when an idea comes out of my head and is created with my hands. Perhaps I will have to put my goals on my BLOG so they are very visible.

I found this lovely stained glass candle holder that has some very nice little extras. It is embellished with press flowers and a flower brooch. I thought the combination of all these items was a very lovely touch and the soothing blues would compliment so many different decors. It can be found at www.sallyscreations.etsy.com
