A Saturday full of Raige! and Christmas Toekini's!!

-
I knew I had a lot of work to do today. But I didn't realize just how much I had!
I was supposed to get a package to South Carolina mailed today, for the Craft Bazaar on Nov. 5th Moncks Corner, SC next Saturday, Nov. 5th. But after my coffee this morning, I knew I would never be able to make the Post Office deadline of noon. 
A package of 22 Toekini's had to be carefully packaged, half of which still needed to be sealed. (I seal the ends of each Toekini with wax to delay the fraying of the yarn)  Not to mention I had to take pictures of the latest Toekini's before they took their trip to SC. I needed pictures so they could be listed.

Of course the sun was not out. And it was quite cold outside, so outdoor pictures was not going to happen. 

After deciding the deadline would not be met, I decided Monday mailing would have to be the plan. Then I would be able to relax and find the Christmas Tree skirt for the photo background. YES, Christmas Toekini's!!!

The first, the Furry Snowman Toekini's, were actually quite a challenge, if you remember my mention of it in this blog, and thus the last one's I finished. But how FUN are they?! Perfect for your daughter, (the ones in the Bazaar are a size small) on Christmas morning still in jammies, opening gifts.

The second of the Christmas Toekini's going to SC are a sweet set. The Candy Cane Toekini's. A set -One sized small, for the daughter, one sized medium, for the mom. Yummy. 

Are the charms reminding you of someone? Who is my favorite polymer clay artist? You got it, Daresa, of Clay Art by Daresa. And she will be the one at the Craft Fair with Raige's Toekini's. So if you are in the area, GO THERE and stop by, and get some Raige!
Santa Toekini's - Artfire / Zibbet
What Christmas would be complete without Santa? Santa Toekini's to truly get in the spirit of the season of giving. The ones in the Bazaar are a size medium to large, for the mom to sport. 

The listings in the Artfire and Zibbet shops are made to order, any size you need. Just let me know what you would like ~ Raige loves special requests ~! And don't think I am crazy for being in the holiday mood so soon. Well, I actually do think I am crazy - this is the first year I have planned so far ahead for Christmas! 


Have you started thinking Christmas yet? Are you one of those that is finished shopping a month before Christmas, or like me usually, running around Christmas eve trying to get everything you need?

Walking on Wednesday - My Money Tree is Dead! What does that MEAN??

It's not the kind of money tree you are thinking.  I wish it was. But it is not. It is technically a Pachira . The name supposedly comes from a story of it's origin.  A poor man prayed for money, and then found this "odd" plant. He took it home as an omen, and made money from selling plants grown from it's seeds. I bought it at a grocery store when we first moved back to the states, in 2004 . We had just moved in to our own house, after being displaced from Hurricane Ivan , and our new place needed some green. This was the biggest plant, for the least amount of money , at the grocery store. It said it was ' foolproof ' , and that is the right plant for me ! I thought the name was an omen too, hoping it would bring good fortune, meaning a little money .  It decorated our living room in New York for almost 6 years ! During that time, about 2 years after I bought it, I tried to root it from clippings just for fun. It worked , and I grew another money

Music Monday! Just Dance

A surprise suggestion, this song was. I asked a friend-who-is-family for some ideas, as I wanted to do a Music Monday this week, but was having trouble picking a song. Just didn't have any that felt right at the time. So this friend, who by the way is someone we (hubby first actually) 'met' online. Communicated for quite a while before actually meeting in person. But you just know when you click with someone and we are going on over 8 years of friendship, I believe, though it feels like we have known each other forever. She has been a wonderful addition to our extremely small circle of friends. She is 'auntie' to my kids, she is who I vent to almost on a daily basis via messages, she is always willing to listen unconditionally. And that, my dear readers, is hard to find these days. She became family. Source So after complaining I was not inspired by any songs, she said she would see what songs came on over dinner with her Mama, and give me some ideas. Her Ma

Raige Creations turns 1 year old next week. To celebrate, Raige is doing her FIRST GIVEAWAY! I can't believe a year has passed, and how far Raige has come. Certainly, the handmade community and its supporters had something to do with Raige not giving up, and Raige's customers are just the best! So to honor all you wonderful people, Raige is happy to give. What to give, you ask? 3 New Toekini's  TOEKINIS OF COURSE Toekinis have, by far, generated the most buzz at Raige Creations. It seems fitting to celebrate with one of them.  Every time I have Toekini's on my brain, I think "Life is good today" and this song from Music Monday  gets stuck in my head.with these lyrics: "I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand,  not a worry in the world ,  a cold beer in my hand. Life is good today, life is good today." But life is good today, even if it is not yet summer here, and to celebrate - the giveaway will be your CHOICE of TOEKINI.  Any
