Holiday Heap and Holiday Giveaways!
My first and favorite show of the holiday season, Holiday Heap is this Saturday! I have SO much stock to show you, I can not wait. I will also be bringing some fresh T’s and totes from my Muthacrafter shop with me too! If you’d rather stay in and shop on Etsy, I will be donating [...]
Trying to avoid holiday stress and other things.
Can you believe how quickly holiday stress creeps up on you? I saw Christmas decorations in Target before Halloween even came. Not cool, guys. Not cool. I am kind of excited about this holiday season because, instead of killing myself and doing 10 shows, (that may or may not be lucrative) I decided to focus on [...]
1000 Ideas for Creative Reuse
I was SO excited when my copy of 1000 Ideas for Creative Reuse arrived yesterday.

Checking in.
I have created a new section in my Etsy shop where you can browse all of my Etsy collaborations for charity. These are quickly turning into my some of my favorite pieces! I recently added the goodies to the left, made from broken plates sent to me by Just Mare. I instantly fell in love with this ceramic artist from [...]

I’m not sure if I mentioned this before, but Artscape starts on Friday! Oh, I did? OK, well just in case you forgot, Artscape is July 17-19. The forecast is looking amazing, despite the chance of thunderstorms on Saturday. Sunday will be 81 degrees and sunny, I think that is unheard of in Artscape history! I [...]

Faythe Levine, film maker extraordinaire, will be on hand to answer questions after the film. I had the pleasure of seeing this movie as a part of the Summit [...]
Pile of Craft this Saturday!
This Saturday is Pile of Craft! I am so exicted, not only because the show is indoors and there is no risk of sunburn, but because it is a fun show with awesome artists from The Charm City Craft Mafia and The Baltimore Etsy Street Team. What else could you ask for? Stop by and say hi and [...]

Collaboration with Little Flower Designs
I often say that my pendants are only as nice as the plate that they originally came from. Nothing illustrates this more then this set made from a broken platter by Little Flower Designs. It would be impossible to make something ugly from this plate! =) At a recent craft show, an unforutate gust of [...]
