The Achievement(s) I need to Rejoice In

Ever since I first discovered Etsy many years back, I have wanted a shop to sell 2 things I love from: My handmade crafts and Vintage things. About a year ago, I finally achieved this. It has been slow going, baby step by baby step. Gathering and making things, taking photos (Cannot seem to get perfect in this aspect at all.) Listing, packaging, getting in mail. Keeping up with the shop as well as marketing and making contacts. This achievement will never end, but I have done it. I have sold a couple of things and I am up and running at a steady pace. 

So for the Word Press Photo Challenge I am sharing some photos from my shop: 

3D “Give Thanks” cute little home decor in frame.

Little coffee ground guest soaps.

Little coffee guest soaps.

I hated to let this go. Candle making vintage kit. I loved the owl candles in it. It sold the first day.

Here’s the link to the weekly challenge fun:  http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_photo_challenge/ Every Friday a new challenge.

Surreal Chickens and Hot Glue Stencils

So what do the 2 things in my post have to do with each other?  Well, nothing really unless I get a chicken stencil made soon. I think I will want to do that next time I do some more of these:

My first try at hot glue stencils. Hearts and Christmas stuff to use to make cute cards for my shop @https://www.etsy.com/shop/DappledMoonEmporium?ref=ss_profile

These are the ones that did not turn out so well, but can still be used though really not for what they were supposed to be.

So as I explained, I really would love to do one of these for a chicken. I also want to do some flowers. Maybe a mountain. They do not look the best, but I have watched other crafters use them on video and the art they did was really wonderful.

I just wanted to show everyone what I have been doing lately.

Now, about that chicken.

So I wanted to share my glue crafting supplies I made myself, but just knew that when I saw this I had to share it somewhere:

I did not think this was real , but supposedly it is a totally black chicken that has just been developed.

This would make the perfect Halloween chicken. I know we already passed Halloween by this year, but this is one creepy chicken breed. Pretty, but creepy.

What do you all think? Have you seen these?

After Halloween, then comes Thanksgiving and the love of pumpkins and candy corn continues on……

I have really tried to post another blog concerning pumpkin DIY, but all the time it took to do my projects here as well as prepare for the party I had for my family and all the keep up with jobs on the internet, I totally did not get to it.

So to make it work, I want to share pictures of pumpkin stuff, my holiday party and more; After all “pumpkins” still work for Thanksgiving.
