Slow...

Sorry I am a bit slow on the update - awful toothache has been preoccupying my time, will try to catch up this afternoon! In the meanwhile, this was a rather cool looking fp treasury:

Making

I saw a few designs in my head of projects I want to sew and thought it would be good to make a journal I could use for that purpose. I like the way it came out and I have already put a dress design in it. I have to make one for Butterfly, tomorrow.

Something I'm Working On...

A new line, actually ... still playing with it.

It just struck me how different this type of journaling is from what I am used to. I journal a LOT. I have been online journaling for about 10 years. I have several under different identities - depends what I am using a particular journal to write about. I mean, one of my journals is via the perspective of one of my neopets! Still, even with a lot of online journaling experience, this is different. I like it. There's a learning curve I need to grow into but it is a fun trip!

Writing of journals - my first featured crafter is going to be a master journal maker: Leather Druid. His craftsmanship is awesome so definitely check back in later this week for the in-depth feature of Alexander and his work.

There are a lot of great journal makers on etsy. In fact, I myself make journals. But there are several bookbinders on etsy that I just really, really admire. I honestly wish I could buy from them all! Lebratt is one of these journalmakers, and she and I have recently collaborated together on a b2b venture that we are hoping will bode well for us each.

I have discovered the folks I will feature in the featured artist and featured writer sections, as well. Will work to get those all posted up by mid-week.

Woo-hoo -Good Trade

I made a great trade! It came in the mail, today. Traded with jellyjellyjellybean for this cool necklace she had in her shop that is so quintessentially ME ... I had to have it.

Here's a picture.

She has a vintage shop, too. From there I got a book that I still can't believe I have. I mean, it's this book originally printed in '69, I have the 4th printing published in '79 and it is exactly what I needed. Poof! WOW.

Anyway - trading is awesome.

Wholesaling

I am interested in branching out into wholesale options in the near future. I came across an article (by chance), on the topic. Skimming it, it looks worth reading. But I am too bleary-eyed at the moment to even see it clearly, let alone grok it, properly, so I'll stash it here for now.
