Attack of the Craft - A forum for crafters.

So, you have all heard me talk about my crafting group a million times, I am sure. Well, I'm about to do it again.

If you craft, sew, paint, draw, doodle or even just like to buy handmade and DIY then you really should check out Attack of the Craft. The people you will find on this forum are some of THE most talented people around. On top of that...they are awesome as hell. I have made some very good friends and met more awesome people then one could hope to in a lifetime. We all hail from various parts of the world and our artforms are as varied as we are. Throughout my entire time selling my crochet goodies, the members of this board have always been there with the most unbelieveable support; answering questions...kicking my butt...and even generally offering advice. There are also a ton of things to do in our little corner of the net. The kick-ass mods run contests, organize craft swaps, and we all cross promote eachother like crazy. If you are looking for a new venue to hawk your wares, we even have our own forum-run store!

Click the link up there...come try us on for a bit...squish around...get comfey. If you sell stuff, we'd love to see it...if you buy stuff, there's plenty of window shopping. Don't forget to introduce yourself!

ATTACK!!

Seriously...I don't think I could love these people any more. Over at Attack of the Craft, they are running a Simon Says contest. You could win an iPad or a $300 Visa gift card. I'm so down with this...you have no idea.

Go check it out!!

The Willow Goose - DIY for your furbaby!

Named for Kylie the owner's two cute puppies, The Willow Goose is the place to go if you have a pet you love more than anything in the world. The shop features dog and cat collars (with the cutest little bells) in all sizes. They also offer handmade pet toys, and awesome leashes to match your collars!


The Clay Pony - Beautiful polymer clay jewelry.

The Clay Pony features some of the most beautifully hand painted and detailed polymer clay jewelry pieces I have seen on Etsy. The piece pictures above is definitely one of my favorites...who doesn't remember messing around with an Ouija board when you were a kid? The other offerings in this shop are just as beautiful. The ponies for which it is named are so colorful and cute! Check it out for some unique and inspired pieces.

Kiss Me Designs - Awesome Accessories

This shop has some really cool accessories to offer; from hair flowers (we all know what a big fan of hair flowers I am) to some sweet aprons...they are definitely not your grandma's aprons either! They can be used to keep you clean whilst cooking, to keeping your hands free when you are vending a show or holding your goodies while painting! They come in all kinds of rockin' prints to choose from too!

So thus ends this week's Shop Attack! Check these awesome Etsy shops out, show them some love and give them some hearts! (Spend money too!!!)

The end!
