I know not exactly a song for soldiers, but I like this song, and I like the line, "lay down your arms, give up the fight..." Not always possible, or practical, but sometimes, it is something we should do. Have a Great Memorial Day! And a HUGE Thank you to all our brave soldiers who serve, and have served, to keep us all safe.

Take a minute, browse through either of my stores, and decide what you would like. Raige Creations on Etsy or Raige Creations on Zibbet Whatever item catches your fancy, I will put it on sale for you. Even custom orders - Tell me what you want me to make - and I will make it and offer a discount. ( His and Hers Thongs anyone ?) Now you may wonder, how much of discount?  To start, I will knock off the shipping charge - FREE SHIPPING . And then, take a percentage off the list price. The percent off differs for each item, so you really need to let me know what you want! This sale will run all weekend - yes that includes the holiday on Monday too!  (Sale ends May 31st - midnight) I understand it may take some time to pick your favorite, so take your time, pick what your truly want, let me know (comment here, facebook, message on etsy or zibbet) , and I will adjust the list price, slash the shipping, and it can be yours! In your message, be sure to mention ...

It has been such a beautiful week here, and I have been working for "The Man" every morning.  So after work, the 'lazy summer days' feeling has overcome me.  These things have led to a complete lack of motivation, and has sapped every bit of Raige Creations' creativity and productiviy right out of me. It has even found it's way into my marketing efforts. I am trying to prepare for this weekends' Saturday Blog Shoppers Sale, and I am fresh out of ideas. So I am asking YOU , my fans and followers, for this week's inspiration. What is it that you would like out of my store? Either Raige Creations on Etsy or Raige Creations on Zibbet . Tell me what you want, and I will put it on sale for you this whole weekend. I will announce the sale terms for the Sale on Saturday morning, so get your wish list to me by Friday night, or even EARLY Saturday morning , okay? You can leave it in a comment here, or you can leave it on my Facebook Page .  I will ...

In honor of my daughter'a recent adventure as part of the 8th graders who just finished 'FMS /BMS Quest 2010'.  Her school offers a great hiking and camping experience for 8th graders every year called 'Quest'. A group of wonderful teachers and community members organize about 60-70 kids and teach them how to survive safely in the wilderness (pack a backpack, cook, clean up, set up tents, use the "bathroom" or "take the poop position" as they affectionately called it, take care of blisters, hold hands while crossing streams with strong currents, etc). They go on 3 hikes, a one-day, a two-day, and a 4-day. Yes, that is right, 4 days, hiking over 30 miles, over 3 nights out in the woods with 60 kids and an adult and/or junior leader for every 2 to 3 kids.  This year Fredonia asked another nearby school, Brocton Middle School , if they would like to join the Quest team, and so this was the first year kids from both schools took part.  The two-day ...

Happy Weekend everyone! I am trying to be enthusiastic, but feeling a bit uninspired. I had a long week, and feel like I am in a bit of creative slump. I have ideas in my head, but something gets lost between head and hand.  Perhaps you all have had moments, weeks, or even months like this?   I know a good hug from someone (something) sure does help, so that is why I am giving up my Polka Dot Teddy this week for someone who needs a great hug, for someone who needs that unconditional support from a cuddly buddy. I still have his cousin, Teddy Dog (still needing that tail sewn on!) so I won't be left alone, but thought one of my fellow creative readers could use a smile. You can get this Polka Dot Teddy this weekend for only $10.00!! (he is in my shop for $18, so that is more than 40% off!!)  He is soft, he is colorful, he has the best blue eyes, and is very lovable.  For you, your kids, your grandkids, neices, nephews, etc. Anyone who would love a great hug...

Sometimes, songs are in my head all day, all different ones, and I am humming happily from morning 'till night. Other times, there is nothing but silence, or only to-do lists, or worries about unfinished projects. Today, that is what my head is filled with - worries about unfinished projects and the promise I made on Facebook of new items this week. So I am taking a request made by my friend, Laci at Zig - Zags Handmade This N' Thats . She LOVEs the Goo Goo Dolls , and wanted me to play Sympathy . It seems fitting today, as I complain about too much to do and so little time, I know most of you can sympathize with that. It is also interesting to me because every time I hear the Goos (as they are affectionately called these days) I am reminded of the first time I heard of them, and heard them. They are natives to Buffalo area, as am I. So, back in the mid 1980's, when my friend asked me to go to her school's dance where there was live music, I said "Sure, s...

I won! I won! I won a giveaway from Bluejules ! Now I am not usually a lucky winner, so this completely caught me by surprise when I heard that I won this giveaway on her blog Bluejules Sews . I received this beautiful bag, all the way from Slovenia , where Bluejules home is. I was thrilled when it arrived, and found that it is well made, a great color, a great size, and the inside pocket is perfect. I will admit, I didn't know anything about Slovenia . I didn't even know exactly where the country was!  I was very curious about where this talented creator, Brigita , was from.   So, as anyone in this day and age would do, I Binged it. So there it is, in between Italy, Austria, Hungary, and Croatia. Nestled in beautiful Alpes country, touching the Adriatic Sea, with so much to offer.  Their tourism site tells it all and is absolutely beautiful! I like the fact that the country seems to be so in touch with nature. Slovenia is the third...

It's just another Manic Music Monday.  I did oversleep today, and it's the first Monday I am back working, so this fits all to well. So I am running late, it's Monday, it was 30 degrees this morning, and I don't have time for any more. I hope it's all worth it in the end...but is it ever being a slave to the grind? Maybe, someday, I can just keep creating for a living, instead of workin' for "the man". I can dream...ever fitting here is the quote of the day today: There is nothing like a dream to create the future. Victor Hugo Happy Monday Everyone - Have a great day!

Wish we were here, right? Have a wonderful, relaxing day.

This is the only appropriate Music Monday song for my newest creations. Thongs have arrived! When Raige Creations first opened online, it was suggested that I make intimate items, thongs in particular. I thought, 'thongs, does anyone wear those anymore? I don't know about that...' But lo and behold, a custom order soon came in, assuring me that a 'His and Hers' set of thongs was desired - if I could make them. So I searched for a pattern the clients would like, had to tweak it a bit for the his version, made 3 'test' thongs, and decided on the final pattern that would give them what they wanted.  And here they are. His and Hers Thongs - "Scandalous and Devilish". I made another 'hers' thong, in Ruby Red, that is available for the first lucky sized petit to purchase. Pictured here is the ladies petit size small (28-30 inch waist)   Ruby Red Flower Thong .  Available at my Etsy store or my Zibbet store .  Look in the Intimates section...
