MooBeeTees Blog as a Wordle - Nifty!

Thanks to http://www.wordle.net/ there is a super nifty little
program that will turn your words into a 'picture'.  As I said, nifty!

I couldn't wait to get to the end of January to try this out, so
here is MooBeeTees blog for January (Part 1) depicted as a 
wordle:

I'm going to do this at the end of each month, so take a look - 
you may find yourself in my Wordle! 

As I said, nifty!! 

Brown Owls (Oakleigh) Meet for the First Time!

Well I don't know about you but I had a fabulous afternoon chatting and crafting today.  The first meeting of the Melbourne SE chapter of the Brown Owls happened and by all accounts was a great success.  As they say 'from little things big things grow', and I have no doubt that the five ladies who met today will be joined by more next month (I already have another person who wants to come along).

 

Present today were the lovely Estelle (Messy Essy), Karen (me!), Elana (EP Designs), Celeste (LittleWaltz and our hostess with the mostess!), and Celeste (BowerBirdInc).  Some of the names may be familiar to those of you who hang out in Etsy, on blogs or tweet - so it was terrific to put some faces to names.

We'd like to do a lot more of that!  So keep checking back in as I will let you know about the next crafty get together.

MooBeeView #5 - Nyjole J Walters, Jewellery Design

nyjolejewellery

MooBeeViews are back in 2010 and I am hoping to bring you a little insight into the minds, hearts and hands of some of the most talented crafters and artisans in Australia.

To kick off the year the lovely Nyjole of nyjolejewellery has agreed to be the first this year to undertake the intense questioning style of the MooBeeView.  As you read this, Nyjole is wondering what she has gotten her self into and is cautiously waiting the arrival of her fabulous four questions.  What will she say, how will she say it?  You can only find out if you keep popping back - or indeed follow me and you won't miss out!

in the meantime, take some time to check out Nyjole's beautiful creations (more than enough reason to get married again!).

Lovely New Listings!

Finally,  I have started to list some of my new items!  Denim is my new muse and I plan to use a lot of it this year in lots of different ways.  Throughout the year I shall share with you some of the interesting denim facts I have discovered whist researching it as a fabric!

For example, did you know that The word comes from the name of a sturdy fabric called serge, originally made in Nîmes, France, by the Andre family. Originally called serge de Nîmes, the name was soon shortened to denim.

There you go, interesting fact number one!  More to come!!

In the meantime here are some of my goodies that will be listed over the next couple of days:

For these items and many more, come and visit MooBeeTees at ETSY.
