Please join the MN Etsy Street Team at Blick Art Supplies this Saturday - see flyer below. We will be at the Minnetonka/Ridgedale store showing off our handmade items from 12-4 pm. There will be some fun giveaways and treats!
I’ve finally had a chance to “focus” (no pun intended) on working on better photos for my Etsy shop. I’m hoping this will help make it look more professional. My first round of photos were pretty bad. I have a point and shoot - no money in the budget for a better camera, so I’m making due with what i have. Now that the weather is nicer here in MN I was able to take some decent shots outdside yesterday. I’m amazed at the difference with all the natural light vs. artificial indoor lights during the winter months - blah. I would love any tips that anyone would be willing to offer on photography with a silly little point and shoot camera 
Also, i would love ANY feedback on my photos - seriously.
Check out the before & after:
well, a whole lot of sewing for my Etsy shop, but more updates to come
I’m including some photo tid-bits from my sewing area, enjoy
Also, last night and this afternoon I’ve been working on treats for a meeting i have tonight….OOH - fudge! Also - Oatmeal Rasin bars.
This is from Rachel Ray’s 5 Minute Fudge recipe. I added walnuts and marshmallows to mine. I’m really not a candied fruit kinda gal.
On a parenting note, here is a picture of my son. I was asking him “So, what did you name your baby (doll)?” And he excitedly replied “five… um …. HIGH FIVE” and then he repeatedly gave his doll high fives to the head.
Never a dull moment
If you are in the Mpls/St Paul area this weekend - plan on checking out the Living Green Expo at the MN State Fairgrounds on Sat & Sun from 10-5pm. There’s all kinds of fun stuff to look at from cars, building supplies & food, to cosmetics and toys. There are usually some fun activities for kids too! Enjoy.
