Weekend Artist -Xquisite by Lady M


Xquisite by Lady M was founded in 2000.  Lady M mentions that throughout time, jewelry has been treasured, adorned royalty, expressed love, and defined individuals.  Jewelry is such a personal expression of whom you are and is meant to celebrate the beauty of the person it adorns.

 Lady M jewelry is lovingly crafted with an eye toward elegance with a touch of whimsy thrown in for good measure. Most of the pieces very comfortably could go from day to evening without ever having to worry about accessorizing. Lady M said just put the jewelry on and let your inner goddess shine!



On a personal note Lady M, have two incredible sons who keep her on her toes more often than not. One of them is 24 and the other is 22. Lady M sons are truly the best contribution she has ever made to this life. She also have a cat named Steve (not her idea LOL) and a lion head rabbit named Poof who looks like a giant powder puff with the face of an Ewok.

Many of Lady M pieces can be produced in quantity for your special
occasion, so if you have a question please drop Lady M a note and
 she will respond to  you within 24 hours.  Lady M said, “How wonderful would it be to be able  to give your wedding party  a suite of trinkets that will never be reproduced!”

Weekend Artist (TM) - Frauke Avent


Frauke Avent of Handmade Fuzzy is a stay at home mom and she constantly have some creative projects going on, knitting and sewing.  


 
How it all started Frauke girls both dance with a passion. Every year at the end of the school year they have a dance recital.   In the last dance class they have we give the teacher and assistants a little gift. Usually it is something handmade by Frauke. 


About 1 1/2 years ago it was a little mouse like this, one for every teacher. The co owner of the dance school liked them so much, that she asked Frauke to make her whole family as dance mice. She wanted them a little bit bigger though. So then came Mr. Dance Mouse.  


After that Frauke made one of her daughters, she was expecting at that time, so that mouse got a little "baby" and a bottle. One of her daughters is a elementary teacher so the mouse had a pencil and some numbers as accessories.


For Frauke this was the step into selling her crafts. She didn't want to do craft shows. So she was looking into online venues. First she tried out Etsy, but very easy you get lost in paying bills for listing and re listing.
So one day Frauke stumbled over Zibbet, and it felt like home. It was very easy to set up her shop and find new friends and wonderful support in the community. From there on it was fun to create and come up with new ideas.   

Yes Frauke had her set backs, lost her mojo. But Frauke said, “It is so gratifying to see what you can 
create and that other people like what you do.”   Frauke  is a very talented woman please check her shop out at Zibbet.

Rebecca said; 'I am all about hand ~made and I guess you can "blame" my great~grandmother, grandmother, and mom.  I come from  generations of women who made things with their hands,  some out of neccessity... some just because they enjoyed it.  I have lots of hand~made items from all of them.  They are precious to my heart and I can't wait to pass them down to my daughter.


Rebecca also said she has always been creating as long as she can remember.  Rebecca  always got crafting kits as a young girl, from pot holder makers, latch hook kits, beading kits, all kinds of crafting kits from lots of different people in my life.  She loves hand made and she want to help spread the word about everyone that makes things with their hands!!

Rebecca mention most of all because she truly love to help people, sometimes she  think she  scares them because she tries to be tooooo helpful and people wonder what is she up to. 
 Rebecca said;"Honestly it's just because I like to help."  Rebecca believes in teamwork, and she said;"if we all stick together and help each other we will all benefit!!"
