This week was pretty crazy. Ray is still getting acclimated to living here at the house. And I am painting like a madwoman, trying to get everything looking good before the wedding which a little less than a month away! Today we got the living room all put back together. One day at a time…
Here’s a photo of the necklace that my daughter Pam designed and is making for all the bridesmaids for Jess’s wedding. I think the blue, silver and pearl combo is so elegant! Pam has always loved beading and has been designing her own pieces for years. I still have a pair of Santa Claus earrings she made for me when she was about 10- she got tons of orders when people saw mine. She also just opened a shop on Etsy- I’ll pass her info along when I get the URL.
I had a nice chat at CHA with Sarah Moore, editor-in-chief of Craft Critique. If you don’t already subscribe, you’ll want to sign up! Once you are on the list, you will receive their daily email where you will see reviews of craft products, special events, contests, and blog carnivals. I love it- I don’t know how anyone can keep up with all of the new crafty products out there! If I am considering buying a new tool or product, first I go to the archives and read the reviews of what other crafters thought of it before I purchase it. All reviews contain 3 pros and 3 cons about the product. And if someone doesn’t like the product, they will tell you! I appreciate the advice- hate wasting money a product that won’t work.
Anyway, I am excited to tell you I am now a Special Reporter for Craft Critique! I’ll let you know when my first article comes out.
