Sneaking in Some Links

November 11th, 2008

I find I don't have as much time to share links (one of my favorite things to do) when I'm trying to keep up with this busy month of arting and Soul Coaching and trying to visit all you wonderfully creative people! I managed to tackle one of my major to-do's today which felt sort of good (crossing it off was fabulous!) and sort of icky (I probably should have taken a stretching break as my back hurts from sitting still too long!) But in general, sweet relief. I really want to tick off all my to-do's this week, but I'm not going to drive myself batty. I'm going to pick a couple things each day to work on and if I have extra time, fabulous, if not, oh well. O.k., since I got my to-do's done, I can share some links!

• I'm having a special holiday promotion on my art website. You can get free shipping through the 15th of December by entering holiday08 as the coupon code at checkout. I've just added two new pieces to the new art section (created during AEDM) and I'll be adding more over the next few weeks. If there's something you're interested in, but don't see there, do let me know!
• Have you heard of Spoonflower? It's a cool new business where you can order fabric with your own designs on them! I've held back from buying any as I need to learn how to sew properly first. Ahem. But how fabulous would it be to have pillows or skirts or curtains with your artwork on them? Either way, be sure to check out the site just to see the fabulous design that my friend Shelly has on the front page (her design is the one with the fish and insects)!
• jennlui has a two part tutorial on making collaged postcards along with a super cute elephant stamp. I told Jenn that I've been seeing elephants everywhere lately and this stamp of hers is totally adorable example of that.
• I love listening to podcasts while I work. Craft Sanity is especially fantastic because they're always wonderfully long and personal conversations with crafty people about their lives. It's a bit like listening in on someone's phone conversation and I dig that. Today I listened to the interview with Kayte Terry who has held all sorts of cool jobs, including one as a stylist for Anthropologie. It's always fun to hear about the organic ways in which people's lives flow. Kayte also has a cool blog, This Love Forever.

Well, that's it for now. See you tomorrow!
