Sorry it has been so long again folks since I have updated. We're plugging away here and getting ready for our next baby dragon to hatch. We are expecting them to arrive sometime around mid August. When they are here we are planning to have our Etsy shop go on vacation a few weeks before their expected arrival and the first month afterward so that our family can adjust to the new and exciting changes of having two little dragons around. This also means that again this fall we will not be a merchant at the GVSU Renaissance Faire taking place this October 5th and 6th. However it is still a wonderful event and I hope that if you can you will be able to stop by and enjoy yourselves.

Greetings all! My so much has happened. But we have gone through our site and updated a bunch. Including pictures and instructions for the Wilton Lamb cake in the Crafty Dragon. Thought I would also post a picture here showing how the cake looked for my son's baptism last summer. (For our protection I have removed his name) but we all know him as baby dragon or Peanut. Hoping to make another one for this year, but we will have to after we get back from my brother's wedding down south.
That being said there is a week in April (the 2nd through the 7th) that we will be accepting orders and sales at our Etsy shop, BUT NOT able to ship orders out until we return. We will be adding a note in our shop announcement and in our message to buyers but wanted to say something here as well. Of course also with the coming of Easter is the approach of spring and we all start to get that all too familiar ren faire itch. So I am trying to get information for you all about Duke's Ball at GVSU. Soon as I am able to I will pass it on to all of you. Well that's all we have time for right now. Bye! Greetings all! Thanks for those of you who were able to join us for our Ustream demo. It was nice to be able to get on and spend some time with you all. Here are some additional pictures I took of our finished project. This coming weekend it will be time for us to do our Christmas Bell Photo Ornament stream. Really looking forward to that project. I will be making sure I have time to make a sample before streaming to make sure I have all of the kinks worked out. So that you all can gather what you need or may want for this project today we are posting the template and instructions for you on the crafty dragon. I am not sure again about the time but we will record the show again so that if you happen to miss it you can always watch it on our channel.
I'd really really like to also do a project for New Year's and I have one in mind so this year I am going to try and figure it out and get it so we can do that project too. Last time I ran into some kinks I wasn't sure how to work out so it never ended up being a project on our site. Hope everyone is enjoying the beginning of the holiday season and staying warm and safe. Until next time, may Recently we posted our Treat Jars craft project in the Crafty Dragon. Here are just a few snapshots of how our jars turned out. Hope that you and yours are having a wonderful time making and sharing your favorite holiday goodies! Coming soon to our craft page are two new projects for the Christmas season. Our hope is to add them both to our site within the next 3 weeks. To help prevent clutter on our crafting page ((like there is now and currently no way to jump from one project to another, only scrolling)) we are going to be working on doing an overhaul. We will keep you updated with our progress. Looking forward to having a less cluttered page.
Remember this coming weekend on Saturday the 5th is the annual Yule Faire at GVSU's Allendale campus in Allendale, MI. Doors open at 10:00 am. It really is a great event and lots of fun with of course food and shopping. Hope to see you there! Hey guess what? We are still around! Haha It has been much tooo long since we had a chance to update on here. Been swamped with family struggles and taking care of baby dragon. We did make it to the October GVSU Renaissance Faire and it was lots of fun to walk around and see the rennies again. Baby dragon attended as a dragon. There were several casualties as pirates died of cuteness! We were invited once again to be a merchant at this years 2nd annual Yule Ball - however with our schedule we will not be able to attend. Baby dragon is having some medical procedures done, and with other family issues and holiday get togethers planned it is just not able to be it the works. It may however be possible for us to make an appearance and we hope that you all are free to come to this great event. 2nd Annual Yule Ball GVSU Allendale Campus Saturday, December 1st Doors open at 10 am Merchants, food, charols and holiday cheer! The Fantasy Artists of Etsy has also opened their more recent exhibition: The Wild Hunt It is always our hope that we can add more new items to our store in time for the holiday season. Hopefully we will be able to start doing that in the coming week. Hope you all are staying warm and enjoying the last bit of fall before winter is here. Until next time, may you find magic wherever you go!
We no longer have our post office box - turned in the keys yesterday. There are still lots of ways you can reach us though - facebook, twitter, etsy, here .. so don't start missing us just yet. In other news today we just listed a new item to our store! Introducing the I'll Love You Forever Claddagh Art. Very pleased with how this piece turned out. Took hours and hours but it was so worth it! Here's a close up just for fun! :) The four strand braid is less than 1/2 inch wide!
As always we have lots more to list but need to find the time -- and keep our computer working -- so we can do so! Hoping to add more soon but we will see. Little dragon has been very VERY fussy lately so we will do what we can as we can. On the computer not working note... Congrats to Kait Lamphere who won our drawing for the How Do They Find Me???? event. She will be getting a box of goodies soon from us - once we finish adding to it that is! Hope everyone is having a fun and safe summer! Stay cool! Until next time may you find magic wherever you go. Hi Everyone! We finally have a working computer again! Yay! Now I can get back to monitoring the store, our facebook and twitter again woot!

It was over 105 outside (real temp) last week and should be getting hotter in weeks to come. Please everyone stay as cool as you can so you can enjoy your summer! That's it for now!

If you let us know that you need to receive your item sooner for an event or celebration we will do our best to work with you so that your item could be received sooner.
Currently all is well here at home. Just now getting back into a more regular swing of things having mostly adjusted to running on "have to" energy on 4 hrs of sleep/night average. (Obviously this is the reason why site updates are so hap-hazard lol) Baby dragon is doing very well and had a great 2 month check up. Daddy dragon's work hours have been getting more and more cut back so new items will be listed at the store to hopefully generate some sales to give us a little breathing room in our budget. We will announce new listings as soon as possible after published. Appreciate everyone's kind words and support as we have been adjusting to new parent life. Hope all fathers had a wonderful Father's Day yesterday! Hello Everyone!
Hope you and yours had a wonderful Easter and beginning to the spring season. Our little one arrived late on Easter Sunday (11:32 pm!). We came home from the hospital on Wednesday and are all doing well, happy and healthy. Getting a bit less sleep than normal but well worth the trade off. :-) This will obviously post pone projects getting to the Crafty Dragon page - but hopefully eventually they they will find their way there. Perhaps I can enlist some friends to help get them there. This is a short update but starting to hear the baby dragon stir. Have a wonderful day |
