I was so surprised when I started listing things in my shop just how much the world of etsy has changed in just a few short years. I have definitely bought tons things from so many amazing artists on etsy throughout these years away~ but as a seller...it's like a whole new world over there! They have really stepped-up their game. I am impressed with the new listing tools and all of the apps available to sellers. It is inspiring to see just how many amazing crafters and artists are able to make a living selling their items on etsy. I love the seller blogs and all of the helpful hints and tutorials that are available. I can't wait to dive in head first and make the most of all these tools!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to open with some of my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/84727754/lets-go-outside-deer-badge-brooch" target="_blank">favorite new brooches</a> but will soon add a variety of crafty items.</div>

Can you believe it? I was teaching when I saw a boy lugging it out near the dumpsters and had to have one of the janitors help me retrieve it. The janitor looked a little put-off when I asked him to help with removing it- but that's the thing about being a crafty girl- sometimes we get those looks. When it comes to a great find like this I seriously could have cared less. So I brought it home and cleaned it up- and now look at it!!! I just love adding random little things to it and nearly everyone that comes in our home loves to give it a twirl! So neat-o!</p><p align="center">So what craftiness have you been up to?</p>Sleepy Hollow Craft Companyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01166666722056557879noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661679348451217913.post-25737072208108679422010-07-25T07:40:00.000-07:002010-07-25T08:20:38.970-07:00Antler Girl Hide-A-Way

<br /><div align="center">My obsession with making myself some antlers started off like</div>
<br /><div align="center">most amazing craft ideas..with kind of a crafting itch in the back</div>
<br /><div align="center">of my mind.</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> I kept seeing all these beautiful ethereal pictures of Antler Girls and I just had to have some for me...BUT I couldn't quite figure out how to</div>
<br /><div align="center">make them amazing and functional.</div>
<br /><div align="center">So after MUCH research, crafting supplies, and just puttin'</div>
<br /><div align="center">some time in...I FINALLY figured it out....</div>

I found
<br />so many girls there also struggling on their own
<br />Antler making journey...that is where I read of all the techniques
<br />my fellow Antler-obsessed girls had tried. If you are interested
<br />in making yourself some antlers I highly suggest craftster..

And here's the proof! Sorry for being so MIA. </div><div align="center">I am alive and doing well. I don't know what happened really~ I never made a conscience decision to stop blogging. </div><div align="center">I just sort of got burned-out crafting ...etsy sorta took over my life and I found myself totally unbalanced and not really even enjoying the things I was making~ pouring all my creativity and energy into stuff and not even really feeling good about it.</div><div align="center">So I took a break. </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">And on my self-induced seclusion from all things crafty and etsy. I found myself completely taken over by a new Obsession, Twilight.</div><div align="center">As I have read on some other crafty girls' blogs, I know alot of you have found a little slice of heaven in Edward and Bella as well.</div><div align="center"> </div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2e60KgVW2xbn5zrHNpWcUL4TtGqcT9uQwr_c-r6FKB8Rpm32bzJSjuPmJ2mInqfubNeFQCesuwK13qT3381lcgAjYO1G4ZTaGYQnAdMLoMuU9FyVjkUUVP8WAAykySAR4O3usKiqdknAS/s1600-h/twilight.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323022084056526130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2e60KgVW2xbn5zrHNpWcUL4TtGqcT9uQwr_c-r6FKB8Rpm32bzJSjuPmJ2mInqfubNeFQCesuwK13qT3381lcgAjYO1G4ZTaGYQnAdMLoMuU9FyVjkUUVP8WAAykySAR4O3usKiqdknAS/s400/twilight.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a>My sweet husband and I, in the absence of crafting have found a ton of time to do stuff together. Which is awesome~ missing him was part of the issue. So instead of being holed up in my craft studio all weekend burning myself with my glue gun~ now I spend the weekends doing things with him. And I of course wanted to see Twilight~ and he of course obliged. And then I hungrily read all 4 of the books...Well, and that's all She wrote(well what Stephanie Meyer wrote) lol</p><p align="center">I made some new girlfriends also during my time away. And I am even taking a few trips this summer to go and visit with some old girlfriends that I haven't seen in forever. </p><p align="center">This time my friends and family has meant the most to me in these past several months. I didn't realize what a hermit I had become. I do enjoy crafting, but at heart, I am a people person. I missed having other people in my life to go out and do things with.</p><p align="center">All the glitter, pretty vintage wallpaper and ribbon in the world can't make up for good girlfriends. I am right now in the process of moving my craft studio from upstairs to the basement...I really want the space to make a guest room. I can't believe I am packing away all my most precious craft supplies, but I am doing it with love and care. And extreme organization. I plan on crafting for me, just for me, like the good ol' days once I decide to pick up my gluegun again...it still calls to me everytime I see it.</p><p align="center">Anyhow, just thought I would peek my head out of the blog-door and let you know what I have been up to lately...</p><p align="center"> </p><p align="center">So just a few recommendations of things that make me smile lately too....</p><p align="center"><br /><span style="font-size:180%;">1.</span> Robert Pattinson~ no need for an explanation, just look.</p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZDZUypEH6jn0o0ssVTNJ6WbwO0XVK1epeZvTHhuByFVFotGz-YTtwxmPpnX-u2XlCUw5jjcvd872obGPuhe7M8ejoP_m690kBWVLMvp8ZT4gtqZXyeNsRstwHA5dkY3u5AD3lkSThs4kz/s1600-h/06_robert-pattinson.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323022083693098082" style="DISPLAY: block;
