Fabric, Glitter, and Sticky Fingers: Let's take advantage of somebody else hot glue gunning their fingers together!

Let me take a moment to be honest. I am not crafty. I cannot make something great out of popsicle sticks, ribbon, cotton balls, and a hot glue gun. For those people who can make a masterpiece out of raw material- kudos to you!


The website Etsy.com takes handmade crafts to a whole new level. It's basically a marketplace for those brilliantly crafty people to sell their art to the public. But we're not talking popsicle stick figurines here; we're talking about jewelery, household decor, bags, pottery, quilts...anything you can think of! It's so cool I had to write a blog to share it with as many people as possible.

My favorite creator/seller on Etsy is Beesocks. She creates the BEST covers for Kindles, Ipads, Nooks, passports, and other similar items. They are fabulously unique at a very high quality. I bought a Kindle cover as a gift for my darling mother, and almost stole it for myself! (And, yes, bloggers have mothers and they are usually the best mommas out there...at least mine is!) Here's a link to Beesocks on Etsy.com, and I highly encourage all you crafty and non-crafty folks to check it out.
