Presenting!.....

These gorgeous gals are Chloe from English Tea Paperie and myself, Intricately Made by Katie (click on names to see our sites). Don't mind our crowns, we're just divas. That's what happens when good girlfriends get together...or celebrate Chloe's daughter's Birthday.



Chloe started me on the road towards small business owner and transition from SAHM to WAHM. It has been awesome, awesome, awesome!



Did I mention I made both of Chloe's necklaces in that picture and mine? I heart jewelry.



This last weekend we worked our rears off getting ready for the P0quoson Seafood Festival. While both of us can be a bit scattered on our own, we totally compliment each other in that we bring out the kick butt business woman in each other. We organized our booth finalized pricing on items, assessed production of further inventory, what not, so on and so forth. Our sweet hubbies kept their eyes on the kiddies. We both have little girls who play great together and hubbys that also play well together, I mean get along well with each other.



I am so stinkin' excited and now have a goal and a plan for the next few months. There is lots and lots of work to do. I've got a treasure chest of jewelry to make and Chloe has much much much beautiful stationary to make using hand drawn art on them personalized with names in personalized fonts and colors.



Did I mention that Chloe is from England? Yeah, the British accent, it rocks.

If you caught it, kudos to you. The Poquson Seafood Festival will make the change of my business name from Intricately Made 139 (often called IM139) to Intricately Made by Katie. I am so super excited. I will carry pearl necklaces and bracelets perfect for mixing and matching and there will be Collection 139 one of a kind creations made with stones, semiprecious gems, crystal, pearls, silver and all thing beautiful. Then there will be earrings, bookmarks, key rings, and more.

I am of course going to hold you in suspense for now but I will be leaking pictures to you through out the next few months. I am so giddy with excitement. If I had a tail it would so be wagging right now...oh, was that a little much. Well, I am excited.

DIY Day a bracelet and another Frenchh Memo Board

Image
This week, I have two DIY projects. This is a faux pearl bracelet I made last week for a friend. It is a three strand bracelet. I couldn't really say how I did it though. I can say it has taken me a while to get the nack of jewelery making. One thing I have sufficiently gotten the nack of is this French Memo Baord thing. Here is a magnetic one I made for my fridgerator out of left over scraps from the window from last week . For the month of September, all my DIYs will be giveways. Atleast one will be...well, a guest DIY and a giveway by my SIL over at Read Be Tween the Lines. My sister, Candy and Ladybugs has a picture in her side bar of her latest crosstiching (did I spell that right? My spell check didn't catch it but I don't think thats how it is spelled) project. Its pretty sweet. Check their blogs out on my side bar of my favorite blogs. I've found so many new favorite blogs, I need to update that list. Add that to my to do list. :) Update: Happy To Design...

My second greatest creation!

Image
I did it, I really did it. I've never done something to at this scale of work. It took me many hours but I did it. I am so proud of this DIY project. My first DIY Day! I would be remiss in mentioning that this little beauty is my best DIY and that handsome man there, well, he just melts my heart and fortifies it all at the same time. Here is the plain old dirty six paned window I have been hauling with me every where since I found it a few years ago at a Habitat for Humanity Restore. I had it done up before but that was a novice's attempt at crafty. I knew when I saw the other crafty DIY projects floating around the blogosphere that I would need to get serious in order to play with the big dogs. Good thing all you blogger peeps were also my inspiration. ;) With out further adue . Did I spell that right. I need to learn French. Not really. I'm so doing this on purpose. Ok , here it is..... Three French Memo Boards, one cork board, one pane for a grocery list and ...

Inspiration

So, I am reading this book, $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau. I'm not planning on starting a business or anything. Its just super inspirational. I like inspirational people. I have this friend, Kathrine who is the best sewing person, sewer or whatever you call it in the whole world. When inspiration strikes, she sews stuff.  I think that is freaking awesome. I have friends who have passions and they just go for it. Love it! My brother, Justin wanted to design toys. He did it. My brother and sister in love, Scott and Laura wanted to start a youth horse ranch. They are doing it. My husband was a sweet little country boy who wanted to go to the Air Force Academy. He did it. See the pattern? I like being inspired. So $100 Startup is a book full of people who find themselves not so much in a career or really intending to make it big but they just start down a path and do what they love. I asked a musician I know where he dreams of playing someday. He said that he just wanted...
