Esty Store Review

I have been hanging out in the chat rooms on Etsy a lot these past few days and I've met some interesting people. And I've seen lots and lots of cool products.

But this lady has products that are perfect for cool weather. The shop is called Broken Halleluiah. She is a crochet artist. She makes the greatest slippers, toys, bags and jewellery. On top of that, she's a heck of a nice lady.

Her slippers come in a range of colours and sizes. She'll also make them to fit you in the colours you want.

Please go and check out her shop. It's Broken Halleluiah.

Happy New Year

It's now January 1st, and I'm looking forward to this year. It's going to be an exciting time for me.

Yes, I have a few resolutions. I want to post to my blog daily. I want to do a small art quilt daily as well.

This is the first of my daily art quilts. I made this last night. It's for sale in my Etsy shop.

The quiltie is 7" x 8 1/4". All the fabrics came from the same range. You'll see more quilties and art dolls in this fabric throughout the coming months.

I hope everyone has a wonderful 2007.

Wow! Time flies when you are having fun. This last week has been hectic. But then again, Christmas always is.

I've avoided the shops because the after Christmas sales are on. I went up today to get some more paper for my printer so I can print out my zine.

This is a little pouch I made today. I wanted something smaller than my wallet and this seemed to fit the bill.

I saw one similar on Etsy and really liked it. I figured I could make my own, which I obviously did.

I will make it wider next time, but this will do for the moment. Until I have the money to buy the wallet off Etsy that I want.

It has two zippers. The front one is for coins, the back one for cards and notes, etc. It's lined with a bright orange print.

I've also been making lots of crocheted dish cloths. I'll soon have enough to put some up on Etsy. I want to sell them in packs of 3. They are good to make while I'm lurking in the Etsy chat rooms...lol.

How Much Do I Heart Etsy?

Etsy has become one of my favourite online hang-outs. There are a lot of great artists there and I find so much inspiration just from browsing the different categories.

So, in tribute to Etsy I made this felted ACEO to tell the world how I feel.

The whole thing is done on a piece of pink felt. I've added red, orange and purple fibers and dry felted them onto the pink felt. I then added the purple felt and felted that on too. I didn't want my person to be naked.

I added the beads and charms and whip stitched the whole thing to a piece of yellow felt.

I'm very happy with this piece. It's currently for sale in my Etsy shop.


This piece was done for a collaborative charm necklace project that I am heading up on Etsy. This is the charm I made.

It's a felted piece on purple felt, with beads. I sewed a piece of purple fabric to the back to hide the stitching.

This will not be for sale for some time. It is going to America where it will be incorporated into a necklace. Then the necklace is being sent to Belle Armoire for possible publication. Once the necklace has returned home it will be put up for sale on Etsy with all the proceeds going to charity.

I had lots of fun making this charm. I was up at 7am this morning working on it in my jammies cause I had the idea running around in my head.

And this is really how I feel about Etsy. It's a wonderful community of sellers who support and help each other. If you have any doubts, just go look at Etsy for yourself.
