DudeCraft represents a different kind of tribe in the world of making things, intentionally blurring the lines between, art, craft, engineering, and the good old “Can Do” spirit. Makers of all stripes are welcome here and are encouraged to join the conversation, no matter what their enthusiasms.

Guys who knit, girls who weld, it’s all the same on DudeCraft. We are people who make cool stuff, have an urge to share it, and don’t mind explaining how we did it, so that other folks can benefit from our experience. read more

StylishHome Launches eCatalog Issue 2 – Home Makeover with Handmade and Vintage.

Our 2nd eCatalog issue will help you get the New Year started with interesting and beautiful items, hand picked by the Etsy Team - StylishHome and the StylishHome staff, to accent, organize, and redefine your home. We believe home makeovers can come from a splash of color, a few unusual decorative pieces, or… the full enchilada! With this in mind, the catalog features sections for home organization, kitchen and kitchen pantry, office organization, and many different featured décor categories to help you accomplish your New Year resolution of a more enticing home. Some closet organizers might be in order to stow the old and bring in the new. And, to bring it all together, we think you’ll also enjoy our section on Color Trends 2012. Pick your new “finds” using the latest color palette. read more

Find inspiration for a new needlework project on Jenny Hart's blog: Embroidery as Art.

My name is Kristi. Please enjoy reading about my Jewelry making process etc. 

Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I am the sole owner of lizziebees, which is a pet and human accessory company. Most of my job is done through local craft fairs, but I do also have Etsy and Funky Finds shops.

I am hoping to begin selling wholesale or consignment in the upcoming year, but I'm just trying to roll with the punches of starting my own business.

Yep. I'm all about the cute stuff. Jeweler, crafter, teacher, mentor, arts business consultant and EtsyRAIN.com organizer - Etsy.com's Official Seattle Street Team (phew!). In my spare time I like to...yeah. Who am I kidding? 

Some day I hope to kick that 9-5 job & become a self supporting fiber artist. Until then, I'll have to get my "fix" after 5 pm.

I'm a fiber dyer & will dye anything I can get my hands on - cotton, flannel, bamboo & paper are just a few I've tried.
