Learning Kumihimo - and Starting up Handmade Saturday

It's been a long week - and the above banner is a large part of it! I've one of the brains behind the new site, Handmade Saturday, and it's been a lot of week! We've had a lot of fun though :) I just want to say a big THANK YOU to Susan of MyFathersGifts for all the hard work she did on the website! In case anyone hasn't heard me say it yet - Susan is the web genius and I'm really proud of her for all the hard work she's done!

I can hardly believe I haven't really blogged about it, but with all the hard work I've been putting in, I've just been   swamped! I rather burned out  :P

For those of you who haven't heard about the website yet - it's all about YOU. The Artisans. We're open to artisan's from any venue (including your own websites!) We did a big sales push this weekend and we are going to continue to promote each week! So come sign up and join in on the fun! Handmade Saturday.

Ok - that probably looks bizarre! And it is. I'm learning to do beaded Kumihimo braiding. Kumihimo is Japanese (in case you hadn't guessed that LOL) and it's a LOT of fun! since I don't actually have the proper equipment, I made some! Thank you Chex cereal :) It's working out great and I love it! That's the start to a necklace that I'm going to wear at my brother's wedding :) I'll make sure and show you the final results!
