Fibertastic Flyers

In the wee hours of this morning I read Shonda's blog (http://www.myspace.com/ignitiongirls) stating that the flyers were ready for Fibertastic! After I dropped Chris off at work I drove over to The Coffee Garden to pick some up (...along with buying a nice cup of yummy Chai tea!)! Here's what they look like:

Aren't they so cute!? So after dropping some off at my parent's house, the fabric store, the Java Cities on CSUS campus and then saving a few to mail out to friends and family I'm almost out of flyers!!! I'll have to pick some more up later this week! Please pass the word along to everyone you know who loves fiber art (knitting, crochet, fabric, paper art)!

Beautiful Silk Ribbon!

Silk! Beautiful Silk! (Along with a cute ball of yarn from Shonda's bunny!) Ahh....Now I have some great stuff to make necklaces with for the Fibertastic show! My excitement is building! Now I have to go and finish some last minute Valentines! Happy Valentines Day everyone! Muchos Besos y Abrasos! XOXO ~ Rain

So, I am doing this fantastic Fibertastic Art Show on March 8th! The lovely, Shonda of Ignition,Honey!, is the coordinator that talked me into doing it! She made it sound so terrific I couldn't pass it up! And now I have to get to work making some more fiber jewelry! The stress begins!...and my craft supplies will quickly be all over the living room! Here's a preview of some of my fiber beads:

Sold!

Yay! I finally sold something on Etsy! (confetti is thrown...chanmpange is being uncorked...cheers of excitement!) Granted, it was my cheapest listing, but I believe it is good karma for my future sales on Etsy! It was my peacock feather earrings:

So three cheers to Janice for helping support Rain's Embellishments! Thank You & Muchas Gracias!!!

Craftiness!

So I just thought that I would share some craftiness with everyone today!

What do you think about this skirt? Well, I love it! My very talented mother made this for Miss Hana...she was so excited to see it that she was dancing! For all those who can't quite tell what the print is, it's a Dia de los Muertos print of dancing skeletons! Plus it has inserted pleats of black lace!

How great is this purse?! My best friend, Amanda, made it for me for Christmas! She has been expiramenting with pattern knitting this past year and succeeded! She also made a fabulous scarf for our other bff, Erin!
