Oh Deer

Thank you Emily Joy Designs for including my Oh My Deer necklace in your treasury!

Giveaway!!!!

My grandmother often crocheted, though knitting was her thing. She tried numerous times to teach me to crochet and I would forget it as soon as she wasn't there assisting me. But I do think that crocheted items are just super lovely. That is why I'm excited to tell you about this weeks giveaway from Frankiesartwork! She will be giving one lucky reader a lovely pair of crocheted earrings from her shop! If you have a moment, you should take a peak at the other neat items that she has listed. She is a crafter at heart, this I can tell because she has a rather eclectic mix of items and seems to me that she just loves to create. I know someone else just like that (hint: she is typing this post, hehe).

Here are some of my favorites!

Here is a little bit about Frankie.

My name is Francesca, but you can call me Frankie if you want. I am indeed a female, but it's fun to confuse people. I am currently in college at University of Texas at Austin and I am majoring in Studio Art and minoring in Computer Science. Frankie's Artwork came to be from my love of making art. I have tons of hobbies from crocheting to drawing to writing and much more. I try every hobby once because I love to keep myself on my toes so my shop reflects my hobbies. I just decided it was time to take them to the next level by trying to sell them. I'm still trying to find my corner.

Giveaway!!!!

I'm very happy to introduce the talented and super crafty Carolina of Pikithins who will be giving one lucky reader the Oriental Bracelet from her shop. If you visit her, you will find a variety of items as she is one crafty gal. From stuffed toys to really lovely and eclectic jewelry to note cards and more! Go have a peak and when you come back, I'll tell you a little bit more about Piki.

I'll wait!

Okay, these are  just a few my favorites from her shop.

Here is a little bit about 

Pikithins.

My name is Carolina and I come from New York. I've been enjoying crafts ever since elementary school. I've never been a person for following the actual directions to creating a card, or a piece of jewelry when it comes to crafts. Instead, I like to complicate the process by trying to figure out how an item was made by looking at a picture. It gives me the opportunity to create my own techniques. Plus, its a fun little puzzle game that keeps my brain entertained =). In this way, I've been able to work in different materials and crafts like felt, wood, acrylics, embroidery floss, macrame, jewelry, and doll making. The play between color and functionality is what I feel makes my items attractive and fun. Without those, my little world of rainbows prancing over skies would be ruined by fussy clouds of rain =).

Find her here:

I'd like to introduce to you...

my newest project (yes, I am crazy). My new shop, The Dainty Ampersand, where you will find custom, hand stamped jewelry. Being a new shop, inventory is still pretty low. This type of jewelry is tough since it is mostly custom work, I can't just make a bunch of things to post, I need a purpose. So, I do promise to add more as I go. I have several more that I will add tonight and tomorrow, so be sure to check back.

And, since I like you all soooo much, I will be offering a 10% discount to anyone that mentions my blog with their order!

Here is a little taste of what I have in stock at the moment:

I invite you to come have a look! I am taking custom orders, so if you do not see what you want, just convo me and I will make it for you!

Have a great Wednesday!

Check back tomorrow for a new giveaway!!!
