arts & crafts shopping = wallet drain

Visited both Joann’s and Michaels today to do some shopping with coupons and sales (whee!). Still, it does a serious drain. Whew. Definitely the impetus to get my stuff listed at Etsy.

Items bought: Scrapbook generals (hey the Disney stuff was on sale for once!); finally got number stamps; jewelry findings; epoxy for resin covering and molding! Also, thread and sewing pattern for bags.

Goals for the week:

  • List minimum of five items on Etsy store.
  • Learn how to use the sewing machine.
  • Other things that don’t concern arts & crafts =p

Picked up books from the library

Hardwear: Jewelry From a Toolbox by Hannah Rogge; 1-58469-480-1
This is totally the book I’ve been waiting for. Years ago I got interested in trying alternative jewelry making after seeing awesome hardware pieces at the Village Bizarre downtown. Totally excited to look through this.

The Art of Resin Jewelry by Sherri Haab; (ISBN-13) 978-0-8230-0344-0
I really like the look of resin jewelry but I’m not sure yet about the whole process and what all I need. Since I’m planning a trip to Joann’s this weekend with some good coupons, I might as well do some research now!

The Complete Book of Retro Crafts by Suzie Millions; 1-57990-869-0
Lots of kitchy things, but it looks like there are some fun things to consider.

Hardware Style by Marthe Le Van; 1-57990-420-3
Now this looks awesome. Ideas for all sorts of things (most quite useful) using “materials from every aisle of the home center store.”

Stamping

What I need:

  • Customized stamp to print “Clarity’s Creations.” I mean, I’ve got a stamp already with my name and various alphabet stamps, but I’d like something that I can print in one go.
  • Number stamps. In all my font stamps, I have no numbers. I’d like to print the year on my creations.

I’m also looking for stamps with cool quotes.

Ideas?
