My New Craft Space!!!

Ok, so some of you know that I relocated, and unfortunately we're not done! Now because we moved into a smaller place, I was worried that I was loosing space for my crafting. But as luck would have it, since it hasn't been very nice to me in the past, I got this spiffy new little shed that normally would have been for storage. Well it works perfectly for my craft stuff, downfall is that I will be storing other stuff in it as well, but mainly it will by my new craft space. This is WIP, and yes all of the stuff in it is ALL craft supplies, and there's a little more still to come.
So far, I have put down some marbled contact paper on the shelves, which matches perfectly with the walls and I used a door that was already there to put on top of two of my shelves for a make-shift work space. Having a bit of trouble with other stuff such as organization, especially with the small (same sized) boxes on the stand alone shelf. I want to use some other means of storing what's in them, so on that...I'm stumped.

My fiance' will be running me some electricity out to it so I can work even when it gets dark, and because I probably will be out there a lot, gonna need some heat for the next few months.
I haven't really crafted in the last couple of weeks cuz I'm still unpacking frickin' boxes!! Can't wait to get this done, cuz I'm dying here... not crafting is not kewl!!!
So if you guys have any suggestions or ideas, please share!!

Art on paper!

I used to say drawing was my first love, and I guess because I've been doing it since I was four years old, and not the usual stick people that 4 year old's draw. But anywho, I have a lot of other different loves of art besides my drawing now. This God-given gift hasn't been used lately, so I intend to do a lot more of here soon, hopefully.
Here is some of the work I've done over the years. I only have one copy of a drawing I got paid to do, unfortunately I have done others that I didn't think to make a copy of. I do commission work for portraits where as I draw from the actual picture, which is best to use to get all the details down to the eye color if not done in black and white. This is a feature that I will be adding to my dawanda shop. So if you have a picture you want drawn, contact me for details.

Special Order

I had a customer order one of my knit scarves from one of my online shops but she wanted it the same color of Mary Poppin's scarf, pink and red. I googled it and found out what it looked like, so I asked if she wanted it to be the same stitch. I came up with this stitch to make the replica, and to be a self-taught crocheter, I think I did pretty darn good. I'm proud of myself on this one, and I hope my customer likes it.

Arm Jewelry!!

I love making jewelry, though I haven't really made anything lately, except maybe something for a swap. I made these some months ago, from beads that my mom brought me when she came to visit last year. Didn't really have enough of the same beads to make matching earrings or anything for some, but I'm pretty pleased at how they turned out. All these were created on a splurge I was having, which sometimes happens. You know, you make something and then you make more until you got a mess of 'em!! Sug, you know what I mean, LOL! Holla!! But anywho, these are available for sale in one of my shops which I haven't yet advertised yet, might just put them in my dawanda shop; contemplating that idea. Hmm!!

Creations from previous CO&K swap!!

Here are some of my most
memorable swaps (memorable to me at least) that I made for my friends at cut out & keep.
First, Meyeli Eyeli. Love the lashes which turned out great. Gothic/lolita creations with the scull and cross being made from a polymer mold I made myself. Some ATC's from an earlier round, and some recycled creations made from soda tabs, a juice carton, popsicle stix, a t-shirt and chewing gum wrapper.

Late nite swap completions.

Ok, first blog and I'm up late, supposed to finishing craft swaps to ship out in the morning. I should have this done last week if not sooner, but lately I have been getting side-tracked. Got swaps from cut out and keep ( http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/), an awesome craft site, that I am participating in and one I'm hosting.
Pretty much got the ideas, making them tangible is another story. Got the supplies, not so much the time to put them together, but I'm determined to get them done TONITE!! Finally finished my ATC's for my swap that I host on a monthly basis, but don't wanna too much give away what I'm doing until my partner gets their stuff.
