Etsy Twitter Team shop of the week…………

The very interesting Noadi’s Art is the shop of the week .

There's a genuine love and passion behind the scupture and jewelry that you find swimming at Noadi's. Cephalopods, fossils, crabs, and other denizens of the sea fill this shop and artist Sheryl Westleigh wouldn't have it any other way. A 27 year old Maine native, Sheryl's love for science and these unique and intelligent creatures inspires every one of her original, polymer clay creations.

From intricately tentacled steampunk cephalopods bristling with gears to quirky specimen jar pendants and platypus ornaments, you can find the perfect gift for the science lover in your life, or for yourself, in this unique shop.
Sheryl says, " I really do love the subjects I base my creations on.It's really wonderful that I've found an outlet for it that sells, and that allows me to bring in my other interests."
In addition to the Etsy Twitter Team, Sheryl is also a member of Seller Helping Sellers on Etsy, and has plenty of tips for those wanting to use Twitter as a means of promoting work and building your business.
"Make strategic use of autoposting of new items and deals. No more than 3 new items at a time. When I have deals that are scheduled to autopost, I do it no more than once every 4 hours. That seems to be a frequency that gets enough attention from my followers without becoming annoying. I also network with others who share my interests in science, etc, outside of the Etsy community, and that has led to sales. "
Sheryl's favorite thing about her art? "That I can do it for a living. And working with polymer clay is a joy, too. I love the stuff! Its so versatile." But marine animals and polymer clay aren't her only loves- she has a beautiful llama named Lauren, as well.
Noadi ships internationally to the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and all of Europe. Visit Noadi's Art at http://noadi.etsy.com/ or find her on:

A Brand New Designs from AbbyChase…..

Finally! A new design for both Men and Women and just in time for the holidays!!

Introducing………………..

{drum roll please}

 

 

 

What are they??? Seat Belt Covers for adults!

I am so excited about these and have been perfecting my design and filling custom orders since my lovely friend Laurie Burkart from Burkart Farms mentioned it this past summer when she mistook one of my other items for a seat belt cover. Genius! I have been complaining about my seat belt rubbing on my neck for years, but had I thought to make one for myself? Nope, not before she said something, but after that…… I have been on a mission to create the design get every boring old seat belt covered in beauty! So I have to give credit for this wonderful idea to her. Thanks Laurie:)

Each cover is 13 1/4" long and 3 1/8" wide when snapped (6 1/4" when open flat) and will fit most standard size seatbelts. They have snap closure for convenience and are lined with a thick cushy fleece liner for comfort.

 

They are available in an array of designs for both men and women and make excellent gifts for the people on your list this year!

 

I have started listing them in my etsy store, but I am up for any custom order that you can think of.

 

Now I’m off to list more of these beauties in my store. Stop by and let me know what you think:)

EtsyTwitter shop of the week………….

 

Three Peats is this weeks SOTW and I just love this necklace! Read the whole interview here and you can even get a discount in her shop.

After many months……

I have finally listed two new things on ebay! I have found myself doing less and less in the children’s clothing sector, so it is always so rewarding to see the finished product and remember how much I do love making children’s clothing. This time I decided to make something I had envisioned. There was a lot of time that went into these little sets, but I absolutely love how they turned out.

 

Perfect for the whole month of October and Halloween:)

Remember this pattern sample?

 

This was the Kyoko pattern by Patty from Modkid Boutique that I tested in early spring. Since the release of Patty’s patterns, I have received a lot of buzz about the samples and extra buzz about this particular one.

I thought a blog post was in order.

The fun print that I used with Patty’s fabric was one that I picked up a few years ago. It was one of those that sits there waiting patiently for it’s moment to shine. Well this turned out to be it and there are so many people want to get this fabric now. It’s an Alexander Henry print, called Picnic (or I’ve also seen it called Retro Fruit). I did some digging and it appears to be hard to find. I did find a little on Etsy and EBay, but other than that I didn’t have much luck. Some of you out there may have so good sources for “out of print” prints and if you do happen to find some sources, I would love to update my blog to help everyone out (and maybe pick up a little more for myself).  So send your sources my way:)

 

Anyway, thanks so much to all of my supporters for all of the praise. It truly makes my day:)

Keep smiling and sewing!

Love,

Mandy
