Ideas..

So I have been thinking, I love to sew and paint but when I'm done with the projects I usually don't use them and they get pawned off on friends and family. SOOOO I set up an etsy page. For those of you who don't know what this is, its a place where creative people can sell their homemade crafts to people all over the world. I am not expecting to make a ton of money nor do I really care to, I think it would be neat to try and see if anyone would be interested in what I have to say in my art. I will probably sell it for pretty cheap mostly because its the coolest feeling having someone buy your art to hang in their home! I will put up some pretty photos, paintings, and bags as I have time to make them. There won't be any stress and I can work at my leisure without feeling pressured. Unlike the farmers market where I would sell everything in one week and then sew for 2 hours a day and try to paint to make up for the loss of inventory only to sell nothing the following week, that was hard! I find that I need to be creative on my own time to release emotions and other things such as stress or time, otherwise I get anxious about nothing and turn into a basket case.I will post a link to my Etsy page when I have it up and running. My first painting I am working on is of a songbird, the last one I painted was sold with in a week and I forgot to take a picture of it. So this is cool right? I think so...

Making T-shirts is quite easy and fulfilling and not to mention a great inexpensive Christmas present.
I made one for a white elephant gift at my work Christmas party...
You get T-shirt transfers from walmart and a couple of blank hanes undershirts, then you print up your design on a laser jet printer, heat up an iron as hot as it will get, place parchment paper *comes with kit* over the transfer and iron! I made Lindsey or "Wennie" a Bun in the Oven shirt...hehe I loved it! Everyone should try it!
