i’m sorry – it wasn’t my intention to drop the ball. I’m on jury duty this week and recovering from a “santa ana winds” induced sinus infection. add to that all of the homeschool clubs have restarted and i’m trying to get my scheduling together.
i promise updates on my projects and more of my Etsy favorites this weekend. I’m excited to show you some of the things I’ve been working on. Fun stuff!!
first off~
let me apologize for not being around more this week. it was not my intention. my plans for blogging were severely crippled by my internet service provider’s inability to give me good, consistent service. i won’t share the long story of it all, but we’ve been unhappy with them (it’s a fairly new service) and we’re hoping they get all the kinks worked out. but you get tired of feeling like a ‘beta’ testing customer…
so – it’s been a week and it’s time for ETSY shops!! here are this weeks pics:
fringe - etsy shop
very cool scarves, cowls and original items.
artisan look - etsy shop
beautiful and elegant
The Empty Nest - Etsy shop
unique and funky with an ‘everyman’ feel
Funky Chicken Design - Etsy shop
cool, hip, fun
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
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!
this weeks featured shops:
Wearable art, silver fused glass jewelry
Unique crochet and bead jewelry collection
Whimsical crochet and paper crafting. Many crochet pattern, as well
Unique crochet jewelry & accessories
Beautiful & Unique art dolls
And as always, if you see something you like – anywhere – feel free to convo me & tell me about it. If it’s not something i make, i’m sure i can help you find it!

See you soon…
i’ve been crocheting a lot lately! The dragonfly artisans are preparing for a craft show – and I am personally preparing for 3 (yes, THREE) shows – that will happen over the next 3 weeks. when i craft, I usually find myself on the bed, with a movie on the tele and yarn all around me. Occasionally, i lose things in my mess supplies that sit around me. barring receiving a new studio just outside my backdoor, like some lucky bloggers , i will continue sitting on my bed – except for the rare occasions I can access my couch (long story – DON’T ask).
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!
