A quote from Seuss

The Lorax needle felted by PearHugStudio

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of the telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities."
                                                                                             Dr. Seuss

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!  In honor of the holiday, check out this Treasury I was featured in.  It was curated by a fellow RNEST member, Jennie.  She creates handcrafted clothing + accessories over at her shop: TurtleFly, so check out her Etsy shop, too!

Autumn colors.

Etsy's front page just screams fall beauty at the moment... here's the Treasury it's based off of.

Love, love, love this beautiful combo of handmade items!

Autumn Love

Two season inspired Treasuries I was recently featured in!  Love the autumn/fall colors going on.  This is my oh so favourite time of year.

Christmas in July

Christmas in July sales (not officially a part of Etsy, but unofficially, definitely a big deal), are starting up all over.  Check out Etsy.com, and search 'Christmas in July' or 'CIJ' to find many deals from all types of shops!
I will have one in both my shops, Ji Babu and Sarah G. Ortiz Photography, featuring free shipping, lower prices, and free goodies!  Promos in my shop go from tomorrow, Thursday, July 14th through the 25th.  Keep a lookout for coupon codes by checking up here, and pass the word along to your friends.

Featured today on the Etsy Moms blog is a preview of what's on sale, including a piece from my Photo shop (bottom line, 1st on left).  Check out this fun Treasury, put together by LAccentNou

A Flowery RNEST Treasury!

Wow - it's been awhile.  Sorry guys!  I was on a ridiculous trip that included 4 weddings, a ballet recital, and my 8 year old brother's birthday, all in one week, mind you.  And then this past week has been mostly recovering and prepping for Corn Hill.

I will try to be a bit more faithful in updating even amongst summer busy-ness, vacations, and shows!

For now, enjoy this Treasury, RNEST in Bloom, featuring my Tulip Print.

Blog Discovery.

I am still working out how I want to pace differently themed posts...  I definitely want to share other artists and crafters' blogs, so today that is what's happening.

I found this Etsian (Julie Ann Art) last week with her fun robot art... she also has cupcakes, elephants, and all sorts of other lovely designs.

Check out her shop, and also her blog- it's pretty fabulous, and I just entered to win the most awesome set of mustache mugs... if you hurry, you might make it in time to enter as well!

Etsy Shop Grand Opening Coupon Code.

Wow - how's that for a post title!?!  Anyhoo, the shop officially has more than ten items, with more on their way, SO through the month of May, enjoy 20% OFF your entire order!

Use coupon code: GrandOpening when checking out at www.jibabu.etsy.com

New Listings!

Four new items up in the Ji Babu shop!  As soon as I get ten up on there, I will officially start the Grand Opening sale, and I promise, faithful blog followers, you shall get the coupon code offer!  I might even do a giveaway!

For now, check out what I put up today:

New Art!

Here's a peek at some new stuff I've been working on the past few weeks.  The show debut for all of it shall be tomorrow at MayDay Underground.  I'm super excited for the show and am planning to have a blast.  =)

Shown below are prints of my photographs on a natural muslin fabric.  I then framed them in embroidery hoops that I painted.  I think they turned out pretty fun!

Hopefully, within the next week or so these will be up for sale on my Etsy site :  www.jibabu.etsy.com  Nothing is on there right now, so be on the lookout for a blog update next week promoting the "Grand Opening."
