Craftzomnia!

For a long time, i was debating whether or not to sell my pendants as is, or as a complete necklace. There was a thread on Etsy with the hypothetical situation of one seller purchasing another sellers handmade pendant, and then including it in their own finished product, or just slapping it on a chain and then selling it. At least that's what the gist of the discussion seemed to be. So, i decided to just bite the bullet and spent some of yesterday looking for chain for 35 pendants.

I worked from 8pm yesterday until 4:30am today, and oddly enough, i'm not yet sleepy! Although, if i keep this up throughout the week, i'll be sick by Friday...So, i will catch up on sleep in just a few minutes, but here's a little peak of a few more pendant necklaces:



(The bunny is one of my favorites!)

I also purchased a hinged shadowbox that i might use as a small display case, and it'll most likely be painted red, though i still have to figure out what my overall table layout will be and if i'm even going to end up using this or not.



I'll update soon with the finished presentation/packaging of these. Have any suggestions? I was thinking of displaying some in the shadow box by laying them out and then keeping the rest in their individual jewelry boxes, on little info/tent cards.

Back In The Saddle

After three weeks of not touching my sewing machine, i finally hopped back on yesterday! The last time i used it, i made these, but got frustrated and didn't feel like sewing anything anymore. I pile my scrap fabric collection onto a table and sort through everything for pieces that are large enough to be made into these mini pouches. They're really fun and easy to make, and hopefully i'll have another batch ready soon.



Also, here are more pendants that i just made. This grouping is my favorite, and i'm not sure whether to sell them as a set or seperately. Any suggestions?
