This gorgeous collection of hand made soaps is from one of my fellow EAST members on Etsy. Stephanie bought my Winter Magic wind chime last week so to thank her for giving me my first sale of the year I am promoting her shop , not that she needs any help as her gorgeous soap's speak for themselves!. Stephanie is a very busy Mum who lives in one of the places I would love to visit , Florida. So she might be getting a visit one day!. Stephanie has been making her soaps, lotions & potions for seven years so she has had a lot of experience in her craft if you would like to catch up on her new additions to her shop & other info this is her blog http://heartcrafts.blogspot.com & this is the link for Stephanie's Etsy shop where you will see for yourself how gorgeous her hand made goodies look & sound! http://seaspritesoaps.etsy.com Please pop in & have a look!

Trying to be one step ahead!


As I am new to selling my goodies on the Internet I thought I better try & keep up with all the special occasions like Christmas, & now Valentine's Day plus trying to keep ahead of the changing seasons!, so I have been working on felted hearts, so far I have only managed to make 1 Valentine pin with a genuine Swarovski crystal to give a little sparkle & 1 heart keyring I thought this would be good idea for the bloke in your life as a wee token of your love!. I have also been preparing for Spring with my felt beads again but I have also added the luxury of pink pearls, I have just finished them tonight & thought I would share them even though the photo is poor quality, hopefully it wont be blowing a gale tomorrow & I can maybe manage to get some good photos, even though it is my birthday I don't mind standing out in the freezing cold !.I really had no idea about how hard keeping my new plan was going to be, it is only coming up for 10 days into the new year & I am knackered all ready but saying that I have managed to keep up my resolution of posting something new ever day on Etsy & keep up with all my new creations, so being a little sleepy is worth it. I also got my first Sale of the New Year yesterday but I will tell you more about that later as I have to try & get some sleep since it is my birthday tomorrow, I know I am going to be another year older but I really don't want to be walking around looking like the living dead! .
