Crochet? NO WAY!

I renewed my love for crochet. I've been mass-producing scarves now for the past month or two, and am now ready to move on. Hats? Maybe. Amigurumi? Who knows.


Either way I'm all sorts of motivated right now.
I love it.


Back to etsy!

Inspiration comes at the worst times

I just got done Googling ways to make a craft space in a tiny house. The possibilities are endless! I could turn my closet into a craft nook, or get a small table that folds into a bigger one. The only problem is, we're renting this house so I can't do any big changes to the inside of the closet, and we don't want to spend money until we move out (which is what we're trying to do since there is absolutely no space for actual living).

Anyway, I received this beauty today:

I'm hoping it works better than my Singer. I can't use my singer for more than 10 minutes without it jamming up on me.

My husband told me that if I want to start a new craft, I need to get rid of an old one. This is going to be a challenge for me...

I have lots of ideas for slimming down with the supplies and space, but unfortunately it's going to take some time, and money. Once I get the space I need, I know I will be able to finally get the crafting done that I want to do.

Slimming Down

I got to thinking about the lack of space in my house, and my husband and I both realize that my craft hobbies take up most of it. Every corner of the house is overflowing with fabric, beads and paper.

I decided that I will go through every single bead and eye pin, and get rid of stuff I don't think I will ever use. I'm going to pick only a few hobbies and stick with them.

Resin, sewing, and die cutting are most likely going to be my choices.

Luck to me as I start this difficult task....

Tiny House Blues

I've been very irritated lately.


Most everyone knows I recently moved into my first house. It's tiny, to say the least, with a bedroom for myself and my husband, a bedroom for the baby, and just enough space to fit our over abundance of things.

My passion is creating things, but to do that you need space. Believe me when I tell you I don't even have room on the kitchen table to make my creations.

I'm just hoping that the weather gets warm quickly. Maybe then I can make things outside on the porch. I guess then I'll need to invest in a baby gate.

^___^

Anyway, forever now I've been looking for someone who wants to make resin jewelry with me. I think so much more could be accomplished if two people were passionate about creativity. Then we could get together a couple times a week and make our jewelry together, and come up with all sorts of new ideas.

Sadly, no one has been interested.


Meh.

I'm loving this heart mold

I'm so happy with the purchase of my large heart mold. Although I haven't sold any of the heart necklaces, I know I will once I get a few more made. Here are a few new ones that I've made recently:

As always, these and more can be found on my Etsy shop : www.etsy.com/shop/tastytreatscreations

I've also made a DeviantART account: www.tastytreatscreations.deviantart.com

Now that I am all settled in my new home, I have much more space and time to make my awesome resin creations.

For those of you that know me personally, or have followed my shop for a while, I like to make many different things. I see something new and tell myself, "I can make that!". Well, there's a new idea churning in my brain and I am hoping to begin sometime very soon. It's very different than everything I've done in the past, so a new shop will be opened (if I decide to follow through). So stay tuned, and maybe you'll see something unexpected ;)

Don't let the fire go out!

The past month or so has been a challenge for me. I moved to Louisiana for about 2 weeks, only to move back to Pennsylvania. I am now in the process of moving into my first house! Through all of the moving I took advantage of Etsy's "vacation mode". I decided to take some fresh pictures, and even make some fresh jewelry. I'm hoping to re-ignite my creative flame as I now have my own space to work in.

I also have new model pics to add to the collection:

Sewing...yet another passion

So for the past year or so, I thought my sewing machine was broken and in terrible need of a tune up. Boy was I wrong...

I took it to our local Sew and Vac, and the guy put fabric under it, and what do you know? It worked! So I went home and decided to pick up sewing again. Seems I haven't lost my touch, I made this bag.




I haven't quite decided if I want to sell this kind of stuff yet, but for now I just love making them. I still have a lot of learning to do.

Oh, and for those of you who follow, I closed my etsy store for a while. It'll be back up soon :)
