Etsy Yart Sale June 10-14

Starting tomorrow, I will be participating in the 2nd annual Etsy Yart Sale! What exactly is a “Yart Sale,” you may ask? The term Yart is an artistic spin on the traditional yard sale:

Art + Yard Sale = Yart!

June 10-14 I will be offering FREE SHIPPING on all purchases in my store!

I will try to list new items daily, so be sure to check in to see what's new! I know lots of other members of Team Bluegrass will also be participating, so be sure to check out their stores as well. To find them on Etsy, use search tag "teambluegrass".

To search all stores on Etsy who are participating, use the tag "Yart" to find them. To learn more about the Etsy Yart Sale, you can go here.

Please support handmade! And what better time to do so than during the Yart Sale?

Craft Therapy

After a crummy Monday at work, I got to go home and give myself some craft therapy last night. It was definitely needed. I made a coffee cozy for my Etsy store...

and some cover button magnets...

The magnets were for a swap, but I love them so much that I think that I'll make some for my own fridge, too--and maybe for my Etsy store.
On the news front:

*edub from Etsy is working on designing my blog. I hope to have the new layout posted today, so be sure to stop back by. Her work is amazing, so I highly recommend her. She's really easy to work with, too!

*I am a member of the Bluegrass Etsy Street Team (Kentucky Crafters on Etsy) and we now have a new Web site! Check it out when you can at www.kentuckyhandmade.com

Weekend Crafts

This weekend I made a new burp cloth for my Etsy store. I really meant to get a whole lot more done, but it didn't happen. Never does. Anyway, here it is. Here's hoping I can do more tonight. I need some craft therapy.
