Great Giveaway at Modish

Modish is a great blog featuring sellers of hand made goodness and business tips for crafters. Every month she has a giveaway. A huge giveaway. And I donated some loot! Look in the lower left corner of the photo and you'll see one of my mouse pads!

All you have to do to win (this pile of loot has been divided into four. That's four chances to win!) is go to Modish and find the huge list of shops that donated items. Visit one or more shops and return to Modish and comment on something you found. That's it!

Go here to play!

Mouse Pad Mania

I love making these mouse pads. Everything about the process is so colorful. Making the envelopes, choosing fabrics, cutting and fusing and finally photographing. I love seeing a stack of them on my worktable, cheery bits of fun waiting to liven up someone’s desk!

The fusing process is laborious and quite smelly so I can’t wait until I can afford a home steam press! That will also make the fortune cookie assembly much easier as well. I’m working my way through my “Large Purchases” list. The first was my craft canopy. Next is the steam press. Then comes my own website.

But I digress! Here are a few brand new mouse pads, coming very soon to my Etsy shop. I'm just not ready for summer to be over so they are bright and colorful.
