MiniMonday: Mickeys Creations

The great thing about the beautiful bags and purses for sale in Mickeys Creations is that most of her items are custom made to your request. Just pick out your fabric color, and this crafty gal and Steve (that would be her Singer sewing machine) will sew you a bag that is exactly what you are looking for!

Here's a great example of her work! She lets you design your own modern Megan Pleated Corduroy bag, simply tell her which corduroy fabric you'd like and you can also pick from a variety of fabric linings!






If you would prefer to purchase something already made, this modern yet retro design is adorable. Perhaps the Modern Megan Messenger in Retro Red Floral would be for you!


All items are made in a pet-free and smoke-free home. These would make great gifts for yourself, a friend, mom, sister, or daughter. A mom of young children, a student, or anyone that has a lot of stuff to lug around would appreciate these stylish, handmade bags!

MINI MONDAY: "Magdalene Jewels"





Magdalene Jewels is today's Mini Monday featured Etsy Blogger Artisan

Pam, the person behind "MagdaleneJewels”, is also known as Mags, MJ or Magdalene. Otherwise known as Pam, she has been single for many years, and raised 3 children, Kelly, Keith and Ryan; and as of last month became a grandmother for the first time!



She seems to have always had a creative nature within, starting with embroidering, crocheting, knitting, and quilting. Mags began designing jewelry about three years ago, and joined Etsy a little over 2 years ago. Her jewelry shop: http://www.MagdaleneJewels.etsy.com contains necklaces, bracelets and earrings mainly using Swarovski Crystals in her own creative designs. As she says, “I love the various reflections the crystals give off when gleaming in the sun”.


Besides selling on Etsy, Pam also does a lot of custom orders and craft shows - and just recently opened up a new shop on Etsy: http://www.MagdaleneKnits.etsy.com. Her new shop is a combination of knitted and crocheted items such as adorable baby booties and sweaters, scarfs, and neckwarmers.


Besides crafting, MJ’s main passion is her writing. She has always loved to write, and is very passionate about what she does write about. You can read some of her blogs at http://www.MagdaleneJewelspjk.blogspot.com and http://www.MagdaleneJewelsblogs.blogspot.com.

A little word of wisdom from Magdalene, which is so much of her personality: “the smile you send out, always returns”.

Mini Monday for Magdalene Jewels

Today the EtsyBloggers are sharing with you the shop and blogs of Pamela Baker. The shop, Magdalene Jewels, is filled with this artists lovely designs that include necklaces, earrings and bracelets. From her shop profile she introduces her work-
I started designing jewelry as a hobby and now besides selling on Etsy I have been doing many custom orders and craft fairs. I use Swarovski Crystals in all my designs, mainly because of the intricate colors which when reflected in the sunlight makes each piece unique.
Beyond the jewelry designs there is a section in the shop of scarves that are knit or crocheted. If you live in parts of the US or Canada where winter seems to be hanging on much too long you will want to take a look at those.

To explore more of this artist and her life you have two blogs to read. These blogs share with you EtsyBlogger events and friends, travel in her own area along the Hudson River in New York, and so much more!
You can read either one or both which I highly recommend by going here or here.

Mini Monday for Gallery 32

Welcome to the world of Gallery 32. The Gallery 32 shop on Etsy if filled with images of the state where I was born, Kansas. The images you find here can be soft but stunning. I am particularly drawn to the flower images that have been manipulated into paintings. Being the dreary snowy winter that it has been so for in much of the US I thought you might enjoy the beauty of the flowers too.
From the shop profile you get a hint into the life and inspiration behind the work of this artist.
I have always had a passion for art. When I was a child my Grandma encouraged me by teaching me how to sew, embroider and paint watercolors. These experiences still influence my work in the form of color, shape, and line. When I went off to college I decided that painting would be my major and I graduated with a BFA from the University of Kansas.



Much of this photographer's work is documented in her blog. She is now over 300 in her 365 project and I found it fascinating to go through the images. She explains why she decided on doing this project in the shop profile as well.
Lately I have been making photographs, which has always been something I enjoy doing. I decided to make an image a day so I started my '365 Project' on my blog. It is my way to share my daily thoughts and images.I have never been much into keeping a sketchbook. I find it a boring activity that doesn't work for me. However, I enjoy writing about my process on my blog and I think it has really helped me grow as an artist.


I love this image of being cozy in the blankets! I can imagine the cool morning waiting for the parade to come by. There is much more that you need to check out and I encourage you to do so. You can find Gallery 32 on Etsy here and the blog of this talented photographer here.

Mini Feature - NanjoDogz

These posts are usually on Monday but this week it will be Wednesday. It is not the start of a new tradition. For this week it just is.

Now to show off the shop Nanjodogz. From the store announcement you learn what makes this shop so special.
NanjoDogz features polymer clay sculpture, pendants, tiles, beads and more with our main concentration on the dog in various breeds. Although our main focus is on dog related creations, we also create various other critter beads. We have a variety of whimsical and unique items. All of our creations are our own original designs.


As you can see from the ornament above the work is charming and many breeds of dogs are done. You can check out the shop to see if she has one that is just right to represent your favorite furry friend.

Of course being an EtsyBlogger means that this artist has a blog. The focus of the blog is-
A place to discuss and showcase my art, talk to and feature other independent artists, speak to my love of animals most notably the dog and share other life experiences.

It is a great blog to visit and subcribe to. When you stop by and leave a comment tell her that the EtsyBloggers sent you.

Mini Monday - Create A Thought

From the profile of her Etsy shop this Michigan based artist shares the vision behind her shop and her work-
Everyday you are creating thoughts. Thoughts that are interesting and beautiful, profound and deep, silly and funny. Whatever your thought style is, they should be recorded.

CREATEaTHOUGHT's mission is to help you do just that. I provide items that fit your personal writing and recording style. If you find that you are in need of a different style I will strive to create a personalized item just for you! Each journal is created to be unique and one of a kind.
I want to be able to provide you with something that is not mass produced. You will not have to worry about someone saying "I have that same journal!"


She continues by letting us know-
I also sell many other fun and unique items(because I like making things, and like to try making new things at least once!) such as cards, purses, magnet, frames, prints, and many more! You can request personalized items at any time!
Check the store because I am constantly adding and updating the items!



To learn more about this artist you can check out the blog or catch up with her on Flickr or take a look at her place on Myspace.
When you do tell her the EtsyBloggers sent you!

Today's feature put together by Cozy.

Dogmaw Glass on a Mini Monday

Today we are showing off the husband and wife team of the Etsy shop Dogmaw Glass. This couple creates a wide range of work including lampwork beads, paper goods and quilts.

The shopmonkeys of DogmawGlass toil in the internet mines by day to bring Satake Glass to the online lampworking community, but at night... ah, cool dark night... we get get to play with fire!

Alpha Shopmonkey Jo is a mathematician, beadmaker, jewelry maker, card maker, quilter... I think this makes her a craft junkie, a monkey she's not in any way interested in getting off her back. Which is fortunate, since she's already a shopmonkey, and getting yourself off your back is practically like sitting up, and nobody wants that.

An occasional contributor to the shop, Junior Shopmonkey Chris is the sort of man your mothers warned you about - no no, not that kind, the other kind.
Yeah... THAT kind.


They sure are busy in their South Carolina shop! Who knew shop monkeys could make such beautiful stuff? Want to know more? There is a blog to check out.

Mini Monday becomes..

This week our mini Monday feature becomes a Terrific Tuesday post and this week is about Lost and Found. Annette of Lost and Found wants you to know from her profile
I joined Etsy to have an outlet for my love of making things made from found or repurposed things. I believe in the idea that individuals can make a difference, plus I'm all about the handmade, organic, eco friendly lifestyle. The thought that I have saved a tree, or kept one less item from a landfill is exciting to me. I am intrigued by what other uses I can find for objects that would otherwise be thrown out. Quality over quantity; I am very detail oriented and thoughtful.


In the product description for this piece the artist asks
What are birds thinking about? What images do they see and store in their minds eye?

I would say that the attention she shows to quality and detail is obvious in the piece above. If you would like to learn more about this artist you can look at her blog or stop by her shop.

Stormy Designs Mini-Monday



A magical mini-monday is a fantastic way to start off this month and showcase our featured blogger, Stormy Designs. I've been a fan of Stormy since I have met her, both for her talent as a clay artist, and for all she has added to our fantastic street team and the time she puts into co-coordinating the weekly blog carnivals.


Her simply-put profile statement explains that; "Stormy Designs offers unique sculptures, art, home decor, art jewelry and accessories for your shopping pleasure. All of my creations are hand-made with love."


One stop at her shop will prove to you that she is a uniquely talented artist, using not only shape, but beautiful pearly colours and blends to create polyclay magic.
