Bringing Family Together

 
I would like to introduce you to Debbi, Amanda and Alison. Three naturally talented women doing some pretty amazing things. Amanda is Debbi's daughter, and Alison is a dear family friend of there's. This shop is created over 1200 miles, that's how far apart Debbi and Amanda are from each other. Seeing there shop I can tell they have such a strong bond through there crafting that has extended out to Alison recently as she learns how to sew. Allison is the one that does the cute little pouches and rosettes hairbands.

They are just so adorable. Everything looks so beautiful that you would be shocked to know that Debbi has bio kids, foster kids and God bless her heart has just adopted as well. Adoption and foster care run dear to my heart, so that is the kudo's right there, and of course Alison and Amanda have there children as well. So to see the love and care they put in there shop is inspiring to me.

Summer Sun Meets Desert Elegance Necklace- An Artbeads Design Feature

Hey yall,

Can you imagine walking through the desert wearing Cubic Zirconia's? LOL I can't I think desert I think searing heat mirages. This new necklace was inspired my by the class and exaggeration of Samantha and the girls on there desert trip in Sex and the City 2. I loved the idea of being glamorous in the desert. Even if it means your Manolo's get stuck in the sand LOL.

Imagine this necklace draped across your collar bone ladies. We all know that the collar bone when draped well is the sexiest part of a woman's body! So why not drape some sun drenched Cubic Zirconia's and natural Sardonyx Agate across your neck.

BESTeam Feature!-Nevita "From my hands to yours"

 ok sooooo I have a confession this time! I know Nevitas work. I have seen it on Etsy SEVERAL times. I always admire and love all of her luxuries, from her scarves and Bolero's to the stunning tops of hers I am now officially addicted to (reminder to self please find more money :D)

She does everything from sewing to designing fibre jewelry and knitting and crocheting! All of which she says she learned from her Grandmother when she was out of school, and staying with her grandparents. This soon turned into a love of hers and when her daughter was born, she decided to start sharing the beautiful creations she makes with the world. I am so pleased that she even finds the time with a child in the house to come online have fun and share her beautiful creations with the world!

She loves meeting and talking to new people so feel free to stop on over at one of the below links and say hello!

Here's a lesson to ALL

Well, I've been a bit stubborn with my health in the last few years. My families motto was always " If you can get out of bed, you can get to work just fine!"  Well that's not always a good thing. I have had lack of hearing all of my life in my left ear, and we were always reminded that it could diminish in my right ear due to the strain! I guess that's why I never though anything about it till recently. over the last few months I have been taking my health a lot more serious and have been "catching up" on tests and things. I went in for some audiology appts and was diagnosed with otoschlerosis. Basically otosclerosis is an abnormal growth of bone near the middle ear.

I have been searching EVERYWHERE. I do not qualify for a stapedectomy, which is the surgery that would correct the problem. So now I move on and continue my attempt at a healthy life. I am feeling a lot better then I have in years. It feels good to be mentally alive again.

Don't take this as a poor me, it's not. I want everyone reading my blog to not only know about what I DO, but also who I AM.

Feel free to leave me comments below. I love reading them.

Crafty Movement Comes Home: Local Craft Open House

There’s a bohemian DIY craft movement bubbling just below the surface of the London mainstream shopping experience. On Saturday July 17th, local Londoners can get a peak into this movement as Jamie (aka Batty) hosts a crafty open house at the edge of Old South London.  Jamie’s the soap maker behind “Batty’s Bath” and says that “our last open house was so successful, we had to do it again and this time, we wanted our friends there too”. This time Jamie will be joined by several of her crafty friends including Brandy and Erin, the monster makers behind beStuffies, and Elizabeth of ElizabethMD Jewelry Designs.
Batty’s Bath, offers delicious bath products made with cruelty free and vegan friendly locally sourced ingredients.  Jamie is a self-proclaimed “tree hugger,” who integrates her motto of “tread lightly” into what she creates – whether it’s through the ingredients she uses or in her packaging. Some of her products include the delicious chocolate covered strawberries lip balm, citrus mist body scrub, coconut cream whipped body butter and other mouth-watering flavours For more details and a sneak peak at products available please visit BattysBath.com
beStuffies, creates a variety of creatures and totebags including monsters, bears, zombies, vampires, aliens and market bags. Their products are made from a variety of new materials, recycled materials, and odds and ends that may otherwise have been discarded. Their goal is to create imaginative and unique plush softies. All their creatures are made with love and care. Their motivation stems from a want to move away from mass produced product into the one of kind handmade. For more details and a glimpse at their products please visit beStuffies.com
ElizabethMD offers one of a kind jewelry for one of a kind women. Everything from being draped in swarovski crystals for a black tie affair, to fun every day bracelets, necklaces and earrings that will never go out of style. Being a one of a kind designer, there is constant change going on in the shop so to keep up check in often at ElizabethMD.etsy.com
Londoners and other area locals looking for unique handmade finds will want to come out to this open house between noon and 7pm on Saturday July 17, 2010.  For directions, address location, and more details please visit BattysBath.com
