Eye See You

I kind of fell off the map this month. Well, December has a way of sneaking up on you and bludgeoning you with parties and events until you come up for air sometime...well, about now I'd expect.

Here's the monthly roundup of the new creations of December (via the team thread)...

Dream Dial by The Lady Horologist

Love the pretties...

Art Nouveau Necklace by Lisa Marie's Piece

And, of course, I have quite the affinity for the knits (and crochet)...

Beaded Lace Knit Shawl by Knit Purl Squirrel

Unique OOAK Poncho by Chewsy By Design

Triangle Scarf Shawl by ohmay designs

This brooch would work well on a shawl or such...

Alligator Vintage Brooch by This and That Crafter

And I'm not sure if this is cool or if it creeps me out. Definitely not for a bedroom. But it was the perfect piece to inspire the post title...

Dragon Eye Talisman by kookybat

Happy end of December!

Pinterest for Business

Remember Pinterest?

I've mentioned this before. A couple times. 

The only reason I'm bringing them up again (besides not having found something new to highlight this month), is because I only recently learned that you can now make a Pinterest page for your shop. Just go here, and your shop can have its very own Pinterest presence. 

Not sure how to get started? They also have a board called "Getting Started on Pinterest". 

Do you have a business Pinterest account? (Am I the last one to find out about this?) Let me know in the comments. I'm going to want to follow you. 

(My boards are here. But be warned, I'm just getting started.)

November's Newest (in December)

My usual end-of-the-month round up of some of the more interesting finds in the "Show Your Handmade Creations" thread of the team discussion board got preempted last week by the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales post. (Did you all do your shopping for unique and handmade items for this holiday?) So, we're going to make up for that today...

First thing that caught my eye. Knit and crochet. Naturally...
