Butterflies with wire antennae

125 butterflies almost finished

It's a bad picture, but it's of 125 butterflies that I crocheted for a wholesale order for a scrapbooking kit-of-a-month club. All I have to do is finish putting on their antennae; package them; and mail them.

Wholesale Butterfly Appliques order

On July 29 I started an order for 125 wholesale butterfly appliques from my etsy shop. I'm up to 81 crocheted so far. These are for a scrapbooking kit-of-the-month club. Just as soon as I have them finished I'm going to work up a wholesale page for my website.

Broke another crochet hook!

Darn it! I broke another crochet hook last night! Once again, I used polymer clay to fix it. It works better than the last one I fixed with polymer clay. I guess I learned a couple of things, huh.

The good news is that Joann.com had hooks on sale, so I ordered 6 more this time. I also had a couple and got one for half price, and I registered (thought I was already!) for an account and got 2.95 shipping.

New Shop on 1000 Markets

Earlier today I was approved for my shop on 1000 Markets. I'm very excited, as I've read very good things about 1000 Markets. But I'm dreading all the work involved in uploading all my items, LOL. I have 42 colors of appliques - plus all the earrings, necklaces, key chains, cell phone charms, barrettes, and pins that I've made with most of those 42 colors.

I also have my butterflies on
my own website JoyceIsCrafty
Etsy
Fuzzb
Zibbet
Winkelf
Shophandmade
Artfire
Bonanzle
Ecrater

Yes, some of those places may only have a couple of things, but I wanted to check them all out and get my name out there.

I'm going to be a very busy gal getting these stores stocked!

Cleaning and Organizing today

Good grief, I didn't realize how much stuff I have. Today I'm cleaning and organizing the craft room. Sure helps to know how much I have of what kind of supplies.

Crochet Butterfly Appliques on Site

I added crochet butterfly applique sets to my new website at JoyceIsCrafty.com.

I spent quite a while putting the new website together, I hope you like it.

I'm still on etsy, have opened a shop on fuzzb, and also on zibbet.

The more exposure the better, right?
