I heard about this site <a href="http://supadupa.me/">Supadupa</a> that has free eCommerce website for a limited time. I jumped on the band wagon and started my own. You still should get your own domain to link to. They have many themes and a very easy design so anyone can get up and running quickly. </span>Kerihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09323580365114385640noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3479579108484285292.post-32538345654269587272011-11-22T08:37:00.001-05:002011-11-22T08:40:25.228-05:00Handmade gifts for your pet<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;">I have composed this wonderful collection of Christmas or holiday gifts for your special dog and one fun catnip toy for your special cat!

I have already begun my Christmas shopping, I know it's early but I like to get things done sooner than later. </span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;">I have also started making some new Christmas items for my shop. I am already getting searches for Christmas ornaments and since I don't have a large selection I thought it was about time I started making some. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;">I really love butterflies and birds and for starters I have added a couple of felted ball ornaments to my shop. The first one is a monarch butterfly ornament and the other I have added so far is a cardinal ornament. Both of these ornaments are needle felted with wool roving and are made around a Styrofoam ball. I have also added a white ribbon to them so you can place them on your tree. You can check them out in <a href="http://kerimae.artfire.com/">my Artfire studio</a>. Here are a couple of pictures of the finished product. </span></div>

From masks to baskets there are so many things that can be made from wood or made to look like wood. The cup for example is made from pottery but it resembles bark so well. Also the ring it's copper but the detail is wonderful. </span><br />

Spring to me says flowers so in honor of the weather being so nice and I"m starting to see the buds sprouting, I have added a couple new flower brooches to my <a href="http://kerimae.artfire.com/">Artfire</a> shop. </span><br />

I was contacted about a month ago by the <a href="http://www.cpaws-ov-vo.org/" rel="nofollow" style="color: blue; text-decoration: none;">Canadain Parks and Wilderness Society</a> about an Earth Day event happening at Wabi Sabi in Ottawa, Ontario. They are making a wilderness display in their window for Earth Day April 22, 2011. I was asked if I would like to participate and create one of the animals listed on their blog for the display. Whatever I created had to be something that was local to the Ontario wilderness. </b></span><br />

If your interested in seeing my needle felted animals, they can be viewed at the display at Wabi Sabi in Ottawa, Ontario between April 1 and April 31, 2011. Here are a couple of pictures of both the completed animals. Both of these animals will be donated to the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society for their table displays at events. It will give childrens and adults something to look at and handle. </span></b></div><br />
