Fish dolls

Found this Doll site on StumbleUpon
I LOVE the fish



But I REALLY love how she used toile fabric to simulate tattoo's! How CLEAVER!

It's not what you know, it's who you know, and vice-versa!

I'm working really hard to get some sales at my etsy shop. To get sales you have to get your name out there. To do that you need to have the right tags, descriptions and search options. Etsy forums have much to offer in the way of help, and I have been known to get lost for hours reading about how to do something. It's almost too much information. This site has been most helpful. I highly recommend it to anyone setting up a shop. She not only give's you information, a lot of times she'll walk you through exactly how to do it! FREE! I think I'll buy some stain glass from her site just to show her I appreciate her knowledgeable, helpful sharing!
After losing myself in the forums for over 2 hours this morning I needed some thoughtless relief, so I went to StumbleUpon. Have you gone there yet? It's so fun! You sign up (no Fee) and then select the topics your interested in. Click on discover and away you go. After that just click the "stumble!" button to go to the next site. When you click on the "I like this button" it saves it into your favorites folder for you to further investigate later. As if my life isn't going by fast enough, I can/have lost days on this site. It would be perfect for your phone ( if you can afford to have the net connection)
if your waiting in your Dr.s waiting room, STUMBLE, when waiting for your always late sister at the coffeeshop, STUMBLE. If anything this site will give you a glimpse at all the web has to offer. Like this for example,



who knew!? And where can I get a pair?

Beading and Books, Baby!

Just when I thought I had nothing to blog about StumbleUpon
comes through for me. First I went here
then here found this along the way, who wouldn't want an idea for a new book to read, or hear. Since I started beading so many years ago I really missed reading books so now I listen to books on tape/CD. I find that's true with most beader's. I'm not sure how but I'd like to start some kind of book go round, you know, send the book/CD to beaders who sign up that want to listen to that book too. Plus I wouldn't mind paying so much for a book knowing it gets passed along to someone else. I'm going to think about this more and see if I can get it to really work. I know Marcia and Jeannette listen to books. Oh and so does Gail. Knowing their such awesome artists, I know I'd like most of what they like to read too.








See I told you they are awesome!
