On another sweet note, a thank you to Pomegranates for featuring craftyFOLK on her "I Love Your Blog" award list. You can visit that here. I have to say that being listed right under Ordinary Forest is quite extraordinary:)

I'm off to work on a song I started today, I have to switch gears a tad to work on the EP...happy writing.

A little peek at what I was up to this evening. I'm up way too late watching some Cosby Show right now:) I'll get these up in the shop Monday, lots of fun magnet themes!

Antler Creature Magnets - let the gifting begin

My first batch of magnets. Each is hand drawn and painted, one of a kind original mini art pieces, hoorah! Each is finished in non-toxic resin for a smooth shiny surface. These beauties are in the shop now. I'm trying to incorporate new items into my shop before the holiday madness begins. Lots of brainstorming going on...

my holiday cards

Here's my first holiday card design. I'll be printing them up soon. I'm shooting for 4 designs and then i'll get them in the shop. I want to do old school sets of greeting cards with the box, cards and envelopes and maybe a fancy pen too:) Hmmm...

my new studio

Today is feeling good so far, I have a few things on my plate that need immediate action
and I'm going to tackle them head on. One being my photo for the upcoming BUST ad in the Dec/Jan issue. It's due tomorrow and with my current camera that seems to give me one good picture out of forty it's going to be a bit of an uphill battle I suspect. Hmmm.
But I'm creating something new for the ad. Thinking of composition and color, something that will "pop" more and therefore bring my shop more traffic. I'm going with a brooch for the ad, seems the best choice for holiday shopping and the price is quite right on. The photos of a more square or round object seem to photograph better for the gallery sized horizontal photo format, so I'm making one with that in mind.

On a more inspirational note, here is my dream studio below -


Oh Martha Stewart, you've got my brain all in a tizzy over this studio. I want, I need, I must have this someday. Check out Martha's blog here, it's a good read.
