Etsy Poll

I'm so excited! My playdough was selected for an Etsy poll. The question "Which would make you teacher's pet?" under the Gifts for Teachers section. Please take a sec and vote for me here! And then take a look around and vote on the other categories too, k?

Homemade Playdough Featured!!!

I could not be more excited!!! My homemade playdough is featured today on DailyCandy.com in the Seattle Kids section. Check it out!

I will be at the EtsyRain Craft Show this weekend with Dough in tow! Come down to the Sodo Pop in Seattle. It is a great location for an intimate show with some amazing local artisans/crafters. It is a Saturday event not to be missed. There will be 30 swag bags for the first people through the door so get there early. And bring canned food because we will be collection donations at the door for the Cherry Street food bank. Check us out on Yelp to and let us know if you will be there!

New Listings

I've been busy the last two days taking new photos and adding new listings of my homemade playdough to my Etsy shop. This is all in preparation for a possible feature in DailyCandy.com's Seattle Kids edition. I believe I will be the Monday feature, but I haven't got confirmation on the day yet. This is really exciting and they are focusing on my Wheat & Gluten Free version. Keep an eye out! In the meantime, check out my Etsy shop.

Easter Egg Grave Yard...

The pretty eggs, colored by the children of the Affleck family, were sacrificed to the deviled egg gods.

I have a bunch of new items in my Baubles By Hand jewelry shop on ETSY. Let me know what you think.

All things Fall

I got to carve pumpkins last night. Yay! It was so much fun, and I think it was the first time I'd done it since I was a kid. The Affleck family (Kelly, Daryl, Charlie, and Clara) let me tag along to pick out the gourds and then back to the house for carving.

My first reaction to the goopy, stringy innards was - SAVE THE SEEDS!!! Hah, leave it to me to turn any holiday tradition into a "food thing". It was so funny watching 2 year old Clara get totally slimy in the bowl of seeds. She came very close to dunking her head in the bowl!

I think my interpretation of a friendly vampire o'lantern turned out great. The seeds were pretty good too. I might even have to get another pumpkin so The Count, that is what I am calling him, isn't lonely on my front porch.
