Jewelry, Cuff Bracelets, Seashell Brooches, by kittyandme on Etsy

Yes, I'm still breathing!  LOL!! 

I've been reworking all of the listings in the shop for SEO (Search Engine Optimization).  Do you have any idea how many times I've typed in "by kittyandme on Etsy?"  Ok, well first, I had to do some research on SEO.  I remember when the internet was easy.  A cute little title and few keywords and that's all we needed.  Of course, I remember when television was the same way.  You turned it on, you watched tv.  Nothing else to do.  Now, I'd have no tv if it wasn't for Bubba.  Thank goodness he knows how to plug this into that and that into this and blah, blah, blah.  Why does everything have to get so complicated?

Anyway, I have some new pretties.  First are my Seashell Brooches:

I felted the background and then added embroidery, beads, seashells, pearls and fish. 

I also finished up on some Cuff Bracelets that I started awhile back:

I did some felting directly on the fabric, added some cheesechoth, some netting and vintage flowers.

In other news, I started on Block #4 of my Marie Antoinette quilt.  I will have photos of that (hopefully) tomorrow.  I also sewed up 2 of my embroidered pieces into pillows this afternoon.  I still have to stuff the and then I'll share those photos.

Yes, I keep myself quite busy.  Keeps my mind off the depression and the SADS.

I'll be taking my little computer over to mom's on Friday.  She has several nice Christmas stories that she would like to share with you.  I'll have to ask Dad to get the family photos out so I can include some with mom's stories.
