Today I made a new pair of earrings in the morning because yesterday night I was too tired to bead. I love it when a plan comes off.
Yay! Blog feature

I've been semiobsessed with matching sets lately. I usually don't do them, but I've created two within the last week. I've also been dreaming about lampwork beads.

One of those voting websites- just for crafts! You can tell what my new addiction will be.

I was featured on talent database.

Hey, my hero has an etsy shop. Science fiction is love. You all should read Brown Girl in the Ring.

Today's Cookie Review:

Ullja's Assorted Cookies: 8 cookies sounded like a small amount for the price, but as each cookie is really big- it doesn't seem so bad any more. The body of the cookie was very soft and melted in my mouth. I ate orange flavored today, and the zest really added a kick to the cookies. You might only be able to have these 2 or 3 times a year, but it'd be great when you can.

I'm splitting my website into two- one for jewelry only, and one for other items. The new jewelry site isn't completed, but here's a peek.

I snagged a treasury on etsy- all stars in honor of the starlight etsy bead theme of the week.

Another Calendar Picture

As promised, my calendar outtakes. See what I'm talking about here:

The poster contest winners are in. Today I completed my shots for the calendar and tomorrow I'll post my outtakes.

Stellabella is talking to us. I've been slacking off a bit lately. I made two pairs of earrings yesterday, but have not photographed them. I don't think I can go to the farmer's market this week because of the heat and because of my final on Friday.

The most I can do lately is to blow my book fund on jewelry supplies.

Today's Soap Review:

Venus and Vixen Oatmeal and Honey Soap:

Price: $1
Size:3 oz

Lather: almost none

Smell and Soap Experience:

Very nice in shower smell, nice homey oatmeal smell lingers on skin. Very scrubby bar. I smell like an oatmeal cookie.

People from Detroit can go to a crafts fair this weekend it seems. A way to make ear hooks. Cheap sun silkscreening.

Hey! Look at me, I'm using mintd!

I'm having free shipping on all etsy items until August 10th because I've gotten 200 hearts.

Today's Soap Review:

Baby Legs Soap Sample: Good lather, shaved off well. Nice shave- smooth legs.
