Featured!

Yesterday, one of my rings was featured on the Lark Crafts blog in a posting called "I Want Candy"!

If you're a fan on my confectionary jewelry treats, then this round-up will be right up your alley :)

This Has Nothing To Do With Anything...

...but I am eating these gummies right now. At first I thought they were gross, but they have grown on me. They're tart and more sticky/chewy than bouncy/gummy (if that makes any sense).

They remind me of Sour Dudes, which I used to eat all the time in middle school. I miss them. Apparently you can order them online, but only in a 24-pack. Tempting.

Busy.

My favorite person in the world moved to San Francisco on Monday. We cooked some yummy dinner on Sunday night (amazing garlic pan-fried asparagus!!) and just enjoyed each other's company.

It's a good thing I am ridiculously busy, or else I would just mope around all day.
Upcoming projects include:
1) Finishing work for Tiny Canary *indie design market* and getting last-minute supplies for my table.
Here is a preview of some of the new goodies that will be for sale at the Sweet Stella Designs table at Tiny Canary (On Sunday, November 18th only!).



2) Labeling my December/January contributions for The Sampler and mailing those out
3) Working on my thesis
4) Helping with centerpieces for my school's Scholarship Dinner
5) Keeping up with my Etsy site

Here's a project that I am very excited about:
I will be collaborating with Lori of Midsummer Muse to make some adorable gift sets for the holidays. Pictured is the first set: Golden Autumn perfume oil and vintage Lucite and Swarovski crystal earrings.
We will be debuting the gift sets this Sunday at Tiny Canary in Columbus, Ohio!

Window Fun: A Photo Essay

Today, I got to design a window display for Wholly Craft! Since I will be having my trunk show there in a few weeks, Olivia and our friend Emily decided that it would be great to have the crafter create a window for the store. Lucky me!

Here is the window before I started:

And here it is after I was all finished! My theme (of course) was food and tasty treats. I made swirly candies out of cardboard and cellophane and hung then from the ceiling. Then, I chose items from the store that were food-related.

I scored big on some glass cake trays at the thrift store just an hour earlier!

That candy looks good enough to eat!! (And difficult to photograph. Darn reflection!!)



I think I missed my calling as a visual merchandising specialist. Haha.
So drive by Wholly Craft (corner of High St. and Pacemont in Clintonville) and check the fabulous window out for yourself!
