Etsy Swimmer




Here is my one of kind vintage fabric swimmer I sent to ETSY this week. I hope they like it. Its made from an old Vera scarf with red thread at the bottom of the fish. It has a cool vintage white button. I am not a good stuff-animal maker but I tried. Everyone should be making a swimmer for etsy, its a good way to get your name out there in ETSY land. So go swim my little fish. Heee Heee

New necklaces for my friend's wedding and some new purse pictures I took today






Look at these beautiful necklaces I have been creating for my friend's wedding. She wanted something different so I offered to make her some necklaces my style. I really think them. Especially the swallow bird. Perfect for a wedding.

Critique On ETSY today!





Well its been an exciting day in my world, I just got critique by ETSY lab ladies, it was soooo great to hear what I need to do to improve my shop to be a top seller. It also put me on the front page of the website, as well in the Storque, the online etsy magazine.

My new work space...


Well its been a long February, my dad came at the beginning of the month to convert our garage into my personal sweat shop. I finally no longer have to use the living room or kitchen to create my stuff, I will have a room of my own. I am so excited about the change. Today the carpet is being laid and the painting is done....Then will come my stuff. I never realized how much craft stuff I owned until I moved it into our storage area for a brief time. I hope to go through and get what I really need and can the rest to ebay or a thrift store. So if you need anything let me know, I just might have it and be willing to almost give it to you for free. I will be adding picture of my progress, so please stay in touch and see what a new craft room will look like in the making.

Under the Weather


Its been a rough week, my son was sick all last week and now I am under the weather and not able to make much of anything. I did do a local Sweetheart show on friday night, we saw about 30 come through the door and made about 100 bucks is 3 hours. I wonder really how sucessful a house show can be, but some money is better than no money. I sold mostly my cute retro summer dresses for little girls, I made a ton last season and plan on starting again soon. They are made from vintage pillowcases and cute new ribbon and come in all sizes. I sell them cheap, $7 a dress on my etsy shop Beckymae.
I think it's a great price for a play dress, I would hate to spend 20 bucks on something my child could ruin in an hour.
A random moment......Also the weather has been very warm for this time of year. I found this picture while looking for one of my summer dresses, I took it last year in May. I hope to have a ton of poppy flowers again this year.
