Last chance for $5.95 a month studio at ArtFire!

Ok folks, today is the last day you can opt-in to get an ArtFire studio for only $5.95 a month for as long as you want it!  Tonight at midnight Arizona time (currently the same as PDT) they’ll be activating this deal, and after that the price will go back up (I think it is [...]

Polymer Clay Smooshers Masquerade Clay Ball

October is right around the corner, and with that brings cooler weather (well, for most places anyway – we’re still getting over 100 degree temps here!), Halloween, and… the Polymer Clay Smooshers Masquerade Clay Ball. I was not a member of the guild last year so I had not participated then, but I am participating [...]

New listings – pumpkin pie bead charms

I just listed some pumpkin pie bead charms I made a while back, and I’m making some more this week.  There are four sets up for grabs – two pair without whipped cream, and two pair with whipped cream.  They’re made with Premo polymer clay and real allspice.  They do have a hint of allspice [...]

H@ckers are strange beings

So, the whole reason I had to move my site over to ExpressionEngine sooner than I had planned, was because some bored h@ckers in Eastern Europe defaced my main page, getting in through my installation of WordPress. WordPress, which I had updated to the most recent version at that time, which was 3.0.

ArtFire will activate their deal – don’t miss out!

The guys that run ArtFire decided to go ahead and activate the group deal that many of us have been promoting, on October 1st, 2010.  That means, if you sign up for a Basic account and opt-in before that date, you’re guaranteed to get a Pro studio for $5.95 per month, for as long as [...]

One fifth of the way there!

I added a second studio today.  I figure, if this deal reaches 20,000 people and opens up, I’ll be paying for two studios at almost one dollar less than what I’m paying for the one I have now!  My new studio will be for beads that I make with polymer clay.  My main studio will [...]

EE up on main domain

As you can see, I now have ExpressionEngine up and running my blog on my main domain now.  I have retired WordPress.  There are still quite a few things that EE can’t do that WP could, but I will just work around it.  The biggest good thing, I think, will be that this software should [...]

Get in on this deal while it lasts!

My studio is hosted at ArtFire, and this month they are offering a super deal I don’t know that anyone could – or should – refuse. They are offering, for a limited time, and a limited number of people, their monthly rates at $5.95!  BUT – ONLY if at least 20,000 people sign up, and [...]

Spotlight on: Gingerbell’s Gifts

The Smoosher of the week this past week (I’m late this time – sorry!), is Gingerbell’s Gifts. Ginger is a multi-talented Smoosher – she beads (as in seed-bead), smooshes clay, and creates candles, tarts (the non-food type), and soap!  Not to mention jewelry from her clay creations. Here are a few of her wonderful items: [...]

Momentary panic attack

I did something extremely stupid, I accidentally deleted like half of my public_html directory. Thank goodness I had most of the important stuff backed up.  I got it put back together in short order, although there are probably a few other items that were deleted that I don’t recall what they were.  Oh well. And [...]
