I've been spending lots of time online trying to learn about making my own website and setting up my blog. There is so much information out there and I'm thankful I have the time to do this now.
I've also been at the machine and put up two more items. I will upload pictures at the end of this post. More to follow soon because I also spent many hours cutting out totes with coordinating linings. It's so much easier and seems better use of time, to have a cutting day. I've done that before with other bulk items and it just makes sense. It's a good plan for Yo-Yo's too. I'll spend my down time cutting out circles and stitching them up. I store them in a zipper bag and it's easy to grab and go with me. Also, I try to keep a variety of colors available so if I make an unexpected "adjustment" to an item, I can always place a coordinating Yo-Yo over it! This keeps my products unique and OOAK (One Of A Kind).
I wish I could figure out how to put tabs up at the top of my page. I want to put all my photos of handmade things together, instead of spread out here and there at the end of a post. Seems more organized!! So, if anyone has figured that out, drop me a note! I have seen them on other blogs, hosted by different "hosts" but they haven't jumped out at me on blogspot yet.
I've been thinking that I should do something interesting here. Something to make other bloggers dying to come back. I thought of "Tip of the Day" as in Craft Tip but I wondered if all the info stuffed into my brain regarding all things sew/craft, could roll out in the form of Tips? It would tie in nicely with my Health Tip of the Day for both Doggies and Humans-- that I added at the bottom of my page. Pretty cool gadget, I say! Hey, I think my Yo-Yo talk could be considered as today's Tip !!
Now to add pictures and hopefully get to sleep at a decent time.
Here is a tote... complete with tropical drink recipes on it!
This is a diaper cover for a little girl. I love black with pink!
Until next time.... stay sparkly,
Welcome to my blog! This is my continual "work in progress" and where I'll post creations that I make and sell in my ETSY shop.I will also share great tips and links to other awesome websites & blogs from fellow crafters ~ A little bit of life and family might show up, too. I appreciate your comments~feel free to drop a note! **Email: PinkSparkleAndLace@gmail.com ** enjoy!

I'm learning how to add pictures... watch out!
So I'm figuring out how to add pictures to my blog. This could be a dangerous thing for all who know me. Most of the family and friends, know that when I capture that perfect (or even not so perfect) photo moment on my phone, it's just a matter of seconds before it's live on Facebook! I can't help it. With just a touch of a button, it's loaded. Amazing!
Here are some favorite pictures of our current day furry children. I don't really need their permission to post pictures. I think my real children would prefer to approve first.

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year and welcome to my blog.
I'm so new at this but I think it will be fun to learn and fun to meet others who do the same, or even those who don't ! The main reason I'm doing this is to be able to have another page to display things that I create.And I like to talk, even to myself.
I just recently set up shop on ETSY www.pinksparkleandlace.etsy.com I have a few items listed and earlier this month, had my first sale (YaY!). I spend way too many hours looking at the amazing talent on display. One click leads to another and before you know it, time has slipped away. I'm definitely learning a lot though. Feel free to contribute to my posts. I love chatting about crafts and of course our doggies. Let me know about cool sites or blogs you follow.
Until next time!
