I need a Graphic Designer Friend!

AHHHHHHHHHH. So everytime I want to advertise or someone offers to promote me, I need a logo or a banner or an ad. For the past few years I've been getting by, but I'm going to have to breakdown. I just spent WAY tooooo much time on the below banner.

I wanted to make the funniest one ever (see the big pic on top), but it was a disaster. I couldn't get anything to turn out crisp...or the right size :o(.

I'm not giving up though, I have big plans for funny retro ads and themes... Momma didn't raise no quitter.

Thanksgiving day GIFT!

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!

Every customer that orders from either of my online stores on Thanksgiving day (11/27) will receive a FREE pair of my very popular "Great Balls of Yarn" earrings with sterling silver earwires ...just a little "thankful" gift :o)

Always wanted to be a Pirate anyway?!

OUCH! So the other night when I was updating my website, I took my glasses off. Always wondered if I could read the monitor better without them...well now I can't read it at all...with my right eye.

That's right! I poked my EYEBALL with the arm of my eyeglasses. It didn't hurt too bad until the next day and the day after. Why Me?!!!???

Oh well, at least I have another one just like it :o)

My apologies to all my fabulously patient customers whose pins were a day later than anticipated. It's apparently easier to do a lot of things with two eyes...

Yipee it's my busy season!

I so look forward to the weather turning cold! Come winter time (okay it's still 70 degrees here), I get to wear my scarves and hats. My customers start wearing theirs too and this means I get super busy making pins!

Right now I'm working on a new series of "Teeny Tiny's". These are kilt style pins measuring 2" or less. After all size doesn't matter, right girls :) ???

Isn't it funny to miss that fiesty, chilly, nippy temperature. But love Las Vegas because of the constant happy sunshine. Mostly I live here so I never have to drive in blizzards or on ice ever again. Nothing like a Wyoming winter white-out or getting stuck in 35 below temps and calling Search & Rescue to save us...oh the good ole days.

Sneak Peak

"Wired & Stoned"
Here's a sneak peak at my new gallery & store. This is when it was still getting organized.
I can't wait until all our lighting is figured out. I'll take more pics then.


This is one of my new pins. One of my faves, but I love copper & anything vintage, so I'm pretty partial :o)

Mi Mama Y Pappa

My parents came for a visit this week! It's always nice to play with them. Mamma bear is a fabulous cook and daddy helps me with my tools & computer problems... It's always great to have them come to Las Vegas. Too bad it's only every few years (hint:hint).

OH Yeah, I also got a haircut. It's too short, but I'm getting used to it. And I'll save a lot of money on shampoo and conditioner, so I can't whine too much.

Newest Shawl Pins

I made these kilt style shawl pins a couple of nights ago.

They'll be available on my website & Etsy store in a few days.

Playing with the light tent & actually having fun taking pictures!!!
