This is my first experience with fd's Flickr Toys.
I think I'm already addicted! :)

What more could you wish for on a sunday? :)

Upcycling with Etsy How To
Oh, I love this 'Etsy How To' so much, I just want to share it with everyone. I wouldn't know what kind of plastic to use in Belgium though, our plastic doesn't seem to have numbers on them! ;)
I have only used the commercial schrinking stuff but this is so fantastic. Can't wait to try! :)
You can also read the article in The Storque, Etsy's on line newsmagazine with wonderful reviews, how to's and more more more *echoes*

Blossom impressions
Living near an area which has a large fruitindustry certainly has some advantages. You can go for gorgeous walks, enjoy the blossoms, buy freshly picked fruit along the road and absorb the new live as it grows.
I love it and wanted to share some impressions.
You can find some more in Flickr.

New color
A while back, I asked this on the critique-forum:
I have been told a few times now that my avatar looks like Target which happens to be a large chain of stores in the United States. Very commercial which is quite the opposite of Etsy. I'm from Europe and had not heard of Target until someone told me. I wonder if a lot of people have negative connotation with it and if I should consider changing the color. I would like to keep the logo as it's kind of whimsical and fun - I like it that it are not two straight circles. I also prefer a logo better then one of my items since I find it more recognisable. Any opinion would be appreciated and make me more deccisive about it... Thanks!
I got a lot of response to that and I actually got many new ideas for a new look.
It's just that I love the logo and I did not want to change it.
First I changed my old one in reverse. It looked like this:
I didn't like it very much so I went drastical and decided to change to a whole new color: LIME
This means I had to change my banner and the colors of my blog. A bit of getting used too but a spring clean can't do any harm I think. Over time, I will change my stationary too... I beter start making lime happy girls now...

April: frontpage month
Getting on the frontpage of Etsy is a spell of luck.
I think I won the lottery this month. And I do feel a bit embarrassed of being up there so frequently but I can't help it! Admin chooses the frontpage out of all the treasuries that are being made. I'm not feeding them cookies or giving them other treats, it just happens. I'm a treasury-addict just like all these curators:
Villadesign : medditeranean olive & passion pink
MonicaJ : Tangerine storms
3FUN : the title got lost because T-West wasn't working :(
Missbeahaven : Raspberry orange sherbet
Iragrant : I'm not prepared
PamelaAngus : Who stole the bunny's eye??
Knots : Brack
JKPhotography : Green
Fashionknitwear : red and blue for... something new
UneFemme : Faded Memories
AnnaRubyKing : Color abunda
Julie Garland: Black white red grey
Thank you very much for adding one of my items to your treasury.
I hope I can return the frontpage favor one day! :)

Testing new backgrounds
It was on my mind for a while now and today I finally managed to make some pictures on different backgrounds. Not sure how they turned out so if you have a moment, don't hesitate to drop your opinion. :) I'm hesitant to a new background because we can't switch our items around in our Etsy-shop, so I'm afraid it will look messy and incoherent with all different backgrounds. I'm SO indecisive.
