De-cluttering -Sharing - out of space

Hi all,
Well I have been busy adding how-to books to our Fickle Crafters Etsy shop. Man, I never knew we had soooo many books! I've added about half of what we are planning on adding but I'm too lazy today to work on it. Must be the rain. It's a dreary day here but we need the rain.
I will be adding doll supplies next. I have a slew of doll eyes and other stuff related to doll making. I'm thinking about adding some of my porcelain doll parts but don't know if anyone will be interested.
Anyway, back to watching DIY- I may see something else I'd like to try...
Happy crafting everyone!

Upcoming Fine Arts Festival

Anyone interested in coming to the East Coast? The 3rd Annual Harbor Arts Festival is looking for artists, photographers and craftsmen who are interested in participating in this wonderful juried show. The show, held May 2 & 3 is located downtown on the banks of the Pasquotank River. This quaint historical town is a great town to visit and is located within an hour of Norfolk, Cheasapeake and Virginia Beach, Va and an hour from the NC Outer Banks. Lots of visitors to the event and if you come Saturday, you can attend the fun Taste of the Albemarle. Visit http://www.artsofthealbemarle.com/ for more info.

My first blog attempt

By Lisa:
Well, here I am. Yep, the original "Wow I want to learn how to do that -Ok I'm bored with that -" Oh let me try that." I have created and sold at craft fairs and galleries porcelain dolls, corn shuck dolls, corn shuck flowers and wreaths, wheat weaving, polymer clay figurines and jewelry, polymer clay Santas, embroidery and crewel, rug hooking and too many more to list! I have now found wool felting and I can combine all of my loves with that craft. I began with needle felting and making bears and animals-proceeded onto jewelry where I discovered wet felting and making sheets of multi-colored wool fabric (which I haven't decided what I'm going to do with yet) and of course had to incorporate wire wrapping with the jewelry and then back to needle felting on clothing - YIKES- I really love this craft. I can use my hand embroidery, crewel and rug hooking as well as sewing with any part of this craft. So for now-this is it. I hope to post some pictures soon so I can share some of my favorite designs. Happy felting!

I got a Cricut!

I got a new toy this week! I was watching TV (aka infomercial), and saw a program on the Cricut. I have seen them before, but had no idea how much it could do! After watching the program, I was convinced I needed one. Not wanted one, I needed one. Right then. I shopped Ebay & various websites through the weekend, and ended up purchasing the Cricut Expressions from Wal-Mart. I have purchased two cartridges off of Ebay, for less than half of the cost of what I found in-store. So, that means I have a total of 3 cartridges. I have the Palotino Storybook, (came with the machine) new Home Accents, and Mini Monograms.

Does anyone have any tips, and what are your favorite cartridges?
