Word-full Wednesday

Thought I would do this a little differently today. I spent the good part of my afternoon yesterday prepping and then listing on eBay. I was allowed to be a part of the great FairyCakes and Guest Halloween Launch. All my items that I created were part of a collaboration, or three. I had the privilege of working with Elizabeth from AudreyRoseBoutique again (I did a collaboration with her in Hope for God's Children), Julie from PaintedButterflyStudio and two collaborations with Alicia from Play*Patch!

Newest eBay Listing

Vendemia is having a Red, White and Boutique launch this week and I remembered to list on the first day!



Click on the picture to get to the listing! I started it off at 99 cents. It has two bids on it and is a whopping $1.30 at the moment (9:07 est)

It's all three pieces: top, pants and hat! I value it at about $30 at least.

I also have to give a shout out to my model and photographer mom! Kyria and Mikal are great!!! I love the photos.

Look for Mikal on Ebay as shear*luck*boutique!

While you are there, check out the other designers in Vendemia. Just look for "Vendemia RWB"

Selling on eBay!

I have a few things listed on eBay at the moment. Three are for a wonderful charity auction for a little girl that lost her life last month to cancer. Please click on the photos to be taken to the actual auction. I love to see those view numbers to go up!

Also, please do not forget to vote in the contest on my sidebar!

There is also a new giveaway being offered from yesterday by a GREAT jewelry designer!

Wanta Sneak Peak????

It's of a few things that I have going on in the studio. Nothing totally complete, I think. May add a few things here and there, you know. When I get inspired, I seem to be REALLY inspired.


There are a few launches on Ebay coming up. The first starts on Monday and is the Boutique Rascals Easter launch.

Then on the 18th is Bowtique Playground's first launch: Snowpeople! I can't wait to see what the designers come up with. I have seen a few of things to come from another designer and let me just say, they are worth the wait!

The worst part is the little ones are sick with nasty coughs and so am I! Thanks to the long lasting cold spell that we are having here in the southeast, and I believe just about all over? Actually, the monkey started this all I think. He decided to be cool and walk around New Years Eve without a jacket. By the end of the night, he almost didn't have a voice. Yeah, I'll blame him.


So, leave a comment and tell me whatcha think. Tell me that I am crazy and should be in bed resting and not slaving in the studio. I dare ya. Actually, working, even in slo-mo, makes me feel a bit better. Now if I could just get the kids to quit screaming that they are tied up.......





That was really a joke. Maybe. Depends on if they keep on getting into the dish washer and taking out the knives.

Guess What!

I got an amazing email this morning. I have been accepted into the eBay group The Playground Divas!!!!!! It is a total honor and I pray that I can live up to the standard that these ladies have put forth. They are in the middle of a launch at the moment so head on over to eBay and look for "TheDivas"! I hope that I have something that I can list for this launch, it lasts until the 16th. REDlicious! I think I have some things stashed away that will fit that bill.

You should check out these Hairbows!

If you have a daughter who loves hairbows, you should check out my friend Nicki on eBay! She has started listing on there and let me tell you, my girls have some bows from her and she is GREAT! I know that she would love some views on her listings and a sell even better!

She really is a great bowmaker! Please check her out!

I Did My First Guest Launch on eBay!

I am in the midst of trying to find my place in the boutique clothing world:

is it on Etsy?

is it on Artfire?

is it on eBay?

is it a combination of the three?

I have clothing listed on Artfire and Etsy and I tried a Patriotic outfit about six months ago with no bids, so I am trying an outfit again! This time, I am a guest launcher though!

The BowFairies are having a Christmas Launch and I got to make an outfit and collaborated with a bow maker! Isn't it adorable? It ends on Friday, I think, and there haven't even been very many people that have looked at it! If you click on the picture, it will take you to the listing.
Just seeing more views makes me happy!

Here are the great bows that Shannen from fallen*star*bowtique created to go with the set! Aren't they just AWESOME! Chipmunk really did not want to take the bows off after the photo shoot. But she had too.

I am trying to gear up for all the great things that are happening this month. Be on the look out for a sale on my Artfire site in honor of Cheetah's second birthday and my fourth anniversary! Not to mention that my mom's birthday is tomorrow too! I will post the savings sometime Thursday!

Know someone deploying or graduating soon?

There is SO much that I want to blog about, share, and just all around get off the chest about, but in due time, in due time.

Right now, I want to get the word out about my newest listing on ebay. Yes, that's right, ebay. Call me crazy, but I have listed three things so far. The first one, a chef's hat that I listed for a few dollars LESS than what I sell for on Etsy and Hyena Cart, did not get picked up. There is another one that will close Wednesday morning around 6 am, I think on the time, but I also tried listing this........

It's my Support the Troops outfit! I listed it for the price that I sell the smallest one, so if you have a bigger kid, nows the time to go in and get it! Any size 12 m to size 8! Actually, with a size 6, 7, or 8, I'm losing money at that price!

What have I done? Listing on EBAY????

Well, they are for the same item (custom made personalized child's chef hat) but one is a three dayer and the other is a five dayer.......IF these do well, then I might start listing other clothing that I create.... I don't know though.
The thought hit me around 4 am this morning. We ended up with not only Zack (usually in bed with us since he is still nursing and that is the ONLY way that I could sleep the first year) but with bed hog Ana too. Anyway, Zack was having a hard time getting comfortable (he was all over me and Tony) and somehow, the thought of putting my hats on there came to mind.
Please go check them out. The three day one has only one picture and the five day one has four, I think.

Three day listing:

I may try listing more if these do okay. I mean, I make children's clothing, nap mats and the like..... Who knows...
