New Stamps

My Sister-in-law visited a few days this week and part of our visit included craft time. She is very supportive of me and encouraging, so it's not hard to be inspired to create. We stayed up late a couple of nights and these are some stamps I carved:

I love doing these rubber stamps, but still have a hard time figuring out what I should be doing with them. I like the designs of these three and will probably do some tags and mini cards. It will be nice to have some new designs on my Etsy site.

A New Treasury

I'm feeling especially fortunate today. I found out that I have been featured in another Etsy treasury! Wow! The curator is Lynchgirl - I hope you will take time to visit her Etsy shop and the shops of others in this treasury. It's so much fun to be recognized, isn't it?

Bird Houses

Here are some of the birdhouses I've been working on. The one on the right is already spoken for. Once I figure out how to ship these things, I may add them to my Etsy shop.

I have so many unpainted birdhouses, just waiting for some color and design, that I could probably be painting them for several months. I'm a little concerned that I'm running out of design ideas, but I'll keep working on it.

Etsy Treasury

I love to open my email to find a surprise message from someone. Whether it's someone I haven't heard from in awhile or someone who is purchasing from my Etsy shop. I love it. Today I got a message from Devi of Hippie Kingdom letting me know she had included some of my tags in her treasury. I'm really excited about this because I've only been in a couple of other treasuries and I've never actually gotten to see my stuff in a treasury. So thanks for letting me "toot my own horn" here by posting the treasury. I hope you'll take some time to check out Hippie Kingdom and the others who are included in this treasury.

Another Thing

This is one of the other things I've been working on and have recently come close to finishing. It's a wooden heart ornament. Who says ornaments have to be just for Christmas? Will be adding this to my Etsy shop as soon as possible.
