Made it to the front page of etsy while I was at church

Today my phone was ringing like crazy. Everytime I get a new e-mail or a conversation , it starts to sound once any of my customers or friends send me any kind of info. I was going to enter the sanctuary when I got my first e-mail from Fen from BeadFloraJewels and after that a stream of ringings.

The reason why I knew a minute after when I saw the gold pumps for Valentine's on the colorful front page of etsy..it was such a funny time!

Thanks to all my friends and team mates that congratulate me and thanks God because you never stop blessing me ,not even on sundays!

Faces....from old and new

I love picassa!
I found this feature to make collages and not only that there is a unnamed tool for pictures lost in my albums with faces only...isn't this like super smart?
Sind yourself there....

What an exciting week!

I 'm more than happy to see my shoes featured on this awesome website on the favorites links page under Valentine's Peacock Shoes,please take a look,those links are so useful.Thanks so much.

My item on the etsy shop for the Haiti Relif sold and I feel all warm for having the chance to

help just a bit in

this desperate situation.

On saturday I had a custom order for Bridesmaids shoes,so leaving the peacock feathers aside for a while the black peep toes are all being designed with pheasant little feathers(the black ones with little white polka dots)

I will post pictures on the weekend.

And I also created a Red Valentine's day and a Pink forever treasury,for my friends and the designers I admire so much on etsy.

Everyday Leland

The afternoons in Florida are a classic. Since Dora episode ends at 1.30 pm we go for a bicycle ride and stop at the tree with the shape of a big Y. There is a small sit right there that only my boy can fit. (Not me for sure) And he loves me to take pictures of him (my little Narciso).

Then Arts and Crafts, music and ready on the Bible,and taking care of " el bebe"...what an exciting day.

I watched the movie AVATAR on a wonderful movie theater on a trip to Anna Maria Island,when visiting a new customer willing to sell my handpainted t-shirts and tanks,named The Hive. The owners were awesome people,art lovers and very friendly.
If you go to the Island please stop by,you won't regreat it.

I was so inspired by the movie that I handpainted a new tunic,t-shirt lead toned.
And the people from the area told me about real peacocks strutting around...you are guessing right,I found them and took pictures too!

I visited on my trip there the Brandenton Art Center ,gorgeous city in the west coast of Florida.
