That’s it for this week!  I do hope you enjoy this eclectic mix of shops!  I think they’re all really fun – and there is something I want from each one!  Now – to make the money so I can buy it all!  LOL

As always – my shops  Enchanted Musing (crochet art) and Enchanted Magpie (paper art) are open and ready for business.  If you don’t see something you want – let me know and we’ll figure out how to get it for you!

when i am working on my Etsy shops (Enchanted Musing & Enchanted Magpie), I often find myself looking around at shops of other crafters. many, I like well enough that i’d like to tell others about it!  so, i expect to regularly share with you shops that i think are worth checking out!

See you soon…

so, with such arrangements for my crafting, you’d think i’d be used to something like this happening, but i find it odd and surprising that after a short break for a glass of water in the kitchen, i returned to find, hiding in among the supplies on my bed craft space, this little fellow…

he sneaked in quietly, without a sound.  I wonder if he’d been sitting there very long, watching me and my hook go round and round on a project.  it’s hard to tell with that beard covering so much of his face.  i looked for clues in his eyes, but he was either laughing hysterically at the mess i’d been making, or crying quietly about the pain i’d inflicted on so much yarn!  either way, his eyes were closed and he wasn’t talkin’!

so i quickly found my camera and snapped a photo of him before he disappeared.  he left as quietly as he appeared and left me with nothing but this lone photo as proof.

i wonder if there are more of them roaming around?

hmm…

I’m an Etsy shop owner!! Find me here : EnchantedMusing.Etsy.com

I don’t have much loaded into the shop – YET – but keep an eye out! I’m creating LOTS of goodies to go in there soon!

Now – get on over there and start shopping!

Dragonfly ATC - swap

These little beauties are for yet another swap I’ve done – Dragonfly. I love that the wings aren’t attached to the card – they are loose and make the dragonfly seem like it’s ready to take flight on it’s own!
