Lot of new stuff!

The Owl Occasions Etsy store is now open! There are currently two items in the store for sale, a set of three Easter cards and a Easter banner. I have also made a bunch of other items to add soon. Since it's snowing  tomorrow I am probally not going anywhere, I will be taking photos of the new items I have finished. These include two sets of butterfly pins, a resuable tote bag/gift bag and some fun place mats for kids.

Here is a link to the Etsy store: http://www.etsy.com/shop/owloccasions

I am also working on a few more Easter items and a set of spring/Easter themed finger puppets!

Also I added some photos to the Owl Occasions facebook page, they are of a cribbage themed bag and wallet I had made out of a whole deck of playing cards. So be sure to check that out as well. You can now "like" us on facebook. I added a "like" box to this blog. It is off to the right hand side of the page at the top of the blog entry.

My craft room and office.

Hey everyone!

I took pictures of my craft room/office so I could show you all where all my crafting and business stuff takes place. I also share the space with my husband and we have a spare bed in the room as well. So here is your guided tour!

Here is a picture of my desk. I used to have a desk top computer that I had set up on the desk, but now I have craft storage and a bin for items I have recently purchased, so I can add them to my inventory.

This is the new storage item I bought. Its actually suppose to be used in the kitchen, but works well for my use.

On the bottom of the rack there is a bar for paper towles, but I use it to hold my larger spools of ribbons. Then there is a small pull out basket/drawer that I keep my fabric paints, small ribbon spools and a tub with buttons in it.

On the shelf I have a jar filled with curling ribbon, a red candle holder with mini gel pens in it, an old top of a candle jar that has tooth picks in it and a silver bucket that holds my glue gun, glue sticks and other types of glue.

Here is the awesome book my cousin Jessie bought me for my birthday : )

Here is my book case and rolling storage cart.

Here is my bulletin board, it has all my insperations and ideas on it, as well as some cards I have got in the mail from friends and a few things I like, such as my M*A*S*H pins, the mask my cousin got me from Italy and my rosary down in the left corner.

Here is my work station.

Here is the Cricut expression my husband got me for my birthday!!!

Here are some of the display items I use to display my jewelry to take photos for Buzz Beading's website. There is a necklace tree, a sketch model, and a flower picture holder that I hang earrings from for photos.

Next to my craft table is a store unit that I have crafting items in as well as item that are finished and ready to be sold. Also above it is a shelf I use for my lamp and to hold other craft items as well as a picture of my great grandparents on my mothers side.

 Next to that is our spare bed and the fun new picture I bought from IKEA.

This is the other wall by the door. Here are all my husband's wrestling pictures and some of his collectables. On the door is our door gym.

Last but no least, here is my husband he's sitting at his desk that is on the same wall as the bed. Hi hunny!

Well thats my craft room! Thanks for reading!
