I finally got my act together and revived my Etsy store, and even added the Cinderella Christmas tree ornament I made! (Hmm...it's a bit late for this year, but I wonder if a series of ornaments based on Disney princess gowns would have a market? Aurora's would have to be two-toned, of course ( Read more... )

mewsgryphoncat, your box of pretties is out and should reach you by Wednesday. Please accept my apologies for the delay - between the Halloween prep frenzy and the fact that it's actually very hard for me to get to a shipping place, I let the time get away from me. Sorry! But it's on its way now, and thanks again.

girasole, I can start work on your new tie-vest as soon ( Read more... )

The black and silver ornament is done and posted to my etsy store. I've decided to call it Frostbite, because the black lace against the silvery-white background looks like frost in reverse.

I have finally revived my long-neglected Etsy store! Go, look at the pretty! (Including the only sort-of gratuitous wedding picture - hey, it shows off my ribbon embroidery.)If for some reason the link doesn't work, my Etsy name is TattedButterfly ( Read more... )

Go, look at the pretty! More pretties to be posted soon.

ETA: Red ornament now up

SON OF ETA: Typos in profile fixed (thanks, girasole)

I can also try making stuff using the leftover memory-wire from girasole's Venetian glass necklace, and I can throw together some cheap- ( Read more... )

I have landed a table selling my jewelry at the Regina Opera Company in Brooklyn! My first day is Sunday March 25, so if Brooklyn is easy for any of you to get to, I'd love to have you come by. Special thanks to A. for recommending my stuff, and for both A. and K. in helping me get samples over to be reviewed ( Read more... )

Thanks to the sheer, screaming incompetence of PSE&G, with an assist from my downstairs neighbor, nearly a quarter of this month's income had to go to the stupid utility. I had to scuttle my weekend plans and stay home to do freelance work, since we sort of need to eat for the rest of the month. Thanks, PSE&G. You made me miss a wedding. I hope you ( Read more... )
