In A Little Bit

I am now currently hosting a page on the website called Deviant Art.  Allthangs at http://allthangs.deviantart.com .  I have some of my items showcased there with a few journal entries to share. I will do my best to keep this updated so everyone will stay in the know. I really like it.  I was introduced to this site by my daughter. She is a talented young artist and she gets a lot of feedback from that website. She has been on Deviant Art for quite some time now. She drew this picture of me and her today and I just had to share it here to brag. Yes, I am one proud momma! You can view Mella Miscellaneous here.

I am finding that as each day passes I am enjoying Pinterest more and more. It is very addictive. My favorite is the food pins. Pins are where people repost links of things they found interesting on the web. I love this because I can use Pinterest for just about anything. Ideas for every day living, family, food and recipes, teaching, creative ideas, and even business and marketing tips. I also love to use it to promote my business and my blog. Several friends of mine will repin items for me to see and it gives us all another world of ideas to look into and use. So check out some of my pin boards and follow me on pinterest today. I have some of my items pinned there from my Etsy shop at http://allthangs.etsy.com you can see them there too.

Check out the newest item in my Etsy shop today. At http://allthangs.etsy.com .    It measures approximately 30 inches across. This penguin is like a small bean bag chair. Filled with stuffing instead of the beans. It is soft and such a fun accent to have for a child's room or anyone who loves penguins.  These can be made in any color. Visit my Etsy store for more details. http://allthangs.etsy.com
