Raige Creations

This quilt was a project that started about 6 years ago. We had just moved back to the States, moved into a new house, and were trying to rebuild our lives after Hurricane Ivan took most of our material possessions. We were fortunate enough to get some donations to us to help us get settled, and my daughter received some beautiful velvet dresses from generous souls, and being a little girl, these were her most favorite dresses. But as children do, she quickly grew out of them and reluctantly cleaned out her closet to donate to other girls who were in need.  Her favorite dresses I just could not part with, and the fabric was so nice I decided to keep a couple for the someday I could use them.  They appear in the quilt as the blue flowered velvet squares, the black velvet square with the ribbon, and the black velvet squares with the sparkes on it. The jeans in the quilt are from the time of no more school uniforms. She loved that she got to pick he...

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 ...

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...

Wow, did this week fly by!!! I am so tired, and the weekend snuck up on me this week.  So... I decided to have a Store - Wide sale . EVERYTHING is on sale this Saturday. I will take 20% off any item in both of my stores. (sorry, I have to exclude the stick shift cozies , as they are already on sale, a steal at only @2.50 each!!) Please contact me before your purchase, and mention SoTiredSaturday , and I will adjust the sale price prior to your purchase.  Remember, everything at 20% off! Saturday Only.   (excluding stick shift cozies) Please don't forget the other wonderful sellers that offer Saturday Blog Shoppers Sales too! (Just follow the link to see the great list.)

It's true, my poor Polka Dot Teddy does not want to share the shop with his cousin - Teddy Dog. As soon as Teddy Dog gets his tail, he will be moving in the shop.   I caught the two having a stare-down today. So it is time for Teddy Bear to expand his horizons.  Therefore, I am presenting a creative offering to all of my Facebook / Blog Fans.  Become a fan, give me your best story, poem, creative writing, along with your best offer, and he could be yours.  If you are not on Facebook, but a loyal Blog Follower, naturally the offer is open to you as well. On Facebook, you can leave your writings on my discussions tab, or here you can leave it in a comment.  If you need more space, let me know.  I will leave the offer open for a while, since everyone is busy and might need time to get the creative juices going.  Winner will be featured here and on Facebook, along with their winning creativity. :) ...

Morning from snow-land. Yes, snowing again. I am new at this, so bear with me. I am here because I wanted a place to showcase my works, and allow people to see a bit more about Raige Creations. To get a feel of everything it is about. That can't be done in my store (on Etsy.com -link above) so I needed a place where I could show where it started, where it is now, and a place where I could ramble doesn't hurt either... Here is how it all started. One afternoon, sitting in our front yard on a Saturday, trying to sell the Jam and Tarts I had made (it was summer, fruit was everywhere, but it was not that warm...). Yes, no one came by. Well, 1 person first thing in the morning, but the rest of the day we (my daughter and I ) just sat in the yard chatting, brainstorming, being silly. And Raige Creations came about. Rebecca (me) + Paige (her) = Raige. We create = Raige Creations! Sounded Great! She is creative too. She had just designed a Teddy Bear for her best friend and we were mak...
