Ghostly Birthdays at Etsybloggers?

If I say Ghostly Birthday, does that mean that some of my upcoming birthdays have disappeared? Will I stay at 64 for a few more years??

Guess not! But that doesn't stop me from sending howling good birthday wishes to a few of our Etsybloggers! Stop on by and howl at them (oh, I mean send them NICE birthday wishes)

Mini Monday: Jordan Necessities

Jordan, jpulliam30, of Jordan Necessities, is a mother of two boys working from home while spending time with her family. The business began after becoming a mother, but she has been sewing for years.

There are all kinds of handbags and accessories in her shop including trick-or-treat bags, wallets, lunch bags, and diaper bags.
One of my favorites are this Orange Boo Trick-or-Treat Bag.



This Creamed Apple Lunch Bag is leak proof and washable!


How cute is this Retro Floral Everything Wallet which holds cash, cards, and coins?

Now that there is a little nip in the air, we can celebrate by leaving the steamy hot weather behind! Something else to celebrate is the fact that we have two wonderful Etsybloggers who are having a birthday in the next few days. Be sure to stop by and send them 'Cool' wishes!

Mini Monday: Tapestry316

Kathleen shows her beauty through her art, love of nature, and love of God. When you view her beautiful paintings in her shop: http://Tapestry316.etsy.com, you will see how she has managed to combine all of these attributes into her life and her paintings. She also calls on her many memories of the past as inspirations.

I am in awe of the perfection of each horse she has painted. My close friend works in a barn and owns a quarter horse, so I have come to know the beauty and the distinction of each breed which she captures in her many different paintings of horses. As Kathleen says, “I have loved art as long as I have loved horses.” A quote from her profile, says a lot about the person she is, “May all your days be filled with wonderful moments that become beautiful memories’!



Living in the country, with her two horses, Kathleen raised her daughter; and now has two little grandchildren (both girls) and is presently awaiting the adoption of her third little grandchild.

Being in the country surrounded by nature’s beauty, she is also inspired by all of God’s hand in the creation of life and nature. Her many painting’s of horses, and animals are offset by the beauty of her other paintings such as the Clouds, and “Moonrise”. Kathleen also does sketching; I particularly like her sketch of the little girl.


Finally, Kathleen leaves us with this scripture from the Bible:
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” Philippians 4:8

You can learn more about Kathleen and her beautiful work through her blogs, facebook, and twitter:

Friday Feature -- Etsyblogger of the Month -- Patch!

Congratulations to Patch, the Etsyblogger of the Month for August! This busy, talented artisan has not one, not two, but THREE shops on Etsy!

Jewelry Shop

Vintage Shop -

Supply Shop -

Enjoy the interview!

1. Please tell us about the items in your Etsy shop. What do you make? How did you learn your craft? What is involved in your creative process?

For jewelry, I make them from Genuine Swarovski beads - Crystals and Pearls with simple beading techniques and I learn all techniques from the internet and beading magazines. I have a passion on Weddings stuff so I always get the inspirations to make a piece from wedding gown fashions and some from the real diamond jewelry.

I do sewing and put some in my supply shop. At first I made them for my jewelry packaging and someone asked me to make for her. That's the way sewing business came to my mind.

2. Tell us two (or more) other interesting things about you.

Umm.. as I put it in my blog..

Patch is .. a Third child, graduated in Mechanical Engineer, a wedding addict, a crafty maniac, a vintage lover, a movies lover, and more..


3. What is your favorite item in your shop (currently for sale or previously sold)? Why is it your favorite?


I love the Amelia Collection!! especially this Necklace.. I designed it when I saw the sleeveless wedding dress without beading or lace and I thought of something to put together with that dress. And it was the first time that I made something from laces. :D

4. What advice do you have for other folks selling or buying on Etsy?

For sellers, I think the most important thing to sell your products is the photography. As an online business, buyers can't see your real products. The photos are the only way for them to see your items. The better the photos, the greater the chance to get an order.
For buyer, believe in your instinct when you want to buy from the new seller and read the feedbacks before making the purchase. If you're not sure about anything, contact them for details. Most Etsy sellers are friendly.. like me.. LOL

5. What crafting skill(s) do you wish you had or hope to learn someday?

Sewing human clothing.. I do know how to sew both hand sewing and machine sewing but I don't know how to sew a dress or blouse.. Love to design my clothes and it will be great if I can make one by myself.

6. Which one song describes your life the best? Why?

"The Climb" by Miley Cyrus.. It's made me stronger and push me forwards.. :D

7. If money were no object for just one day, what would you do?

Traveling to the places that I haven't been before.. and take a lot of photos to share to everyone else.. and watch every movies I can..

8. Where else can we find out more about you and/or your creations?

I have 2 blogs.. One is all about my life and everything. I called it "Patch's Diary"

Another one I've just changed it from Wedding guide blog to Jewelry inspiration blog and everything about my jewelry shop.

And I opened a new blog for Wedding Guides.

9. Is there anything else youd like to tell us about your shop or your work?

I do love custom-made orders. I like to communicate with customers and work together to match their needs. So feel free to contact me for serving you what you want. :D
