March Happenings...

Hello March, Boy do I have lots of plans for you!

Top on my to-do list is giving my pitiful website, www.gypsythread.com, the attention it deserves. Having a site and dedicated URL is fantastic... as long as you actually use it. Over a year later and I'm finally getting things together with help from the wonderful Morgan, owner of Tampa Upcycle.

What do you think of this new logo?

I can't wait! It's going to be fantabulous! Now if I could just make some color commitments already...

All of my social media buttons have been updated (yay!), but I may play with the icon pictures and colors a bit more. If you haven't yet found Gypsy Thread on Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Instagram, or Pinterest get clicking!

New items in the shop this month will include more bags and zippered pouches along with interchangeable, clip on, wrist straps which will allow you to convert a simple clutch or pouch into a handy wristlet. I think the best part is getting to choose your own color and style. If I find some spare energy today a few wrist straps may be posted before I crash. If not, look for new items to start popping up next week.


Also this month, I'll be participating in a crafty, secret gift exchange called "The Covert Robin". Although I won't be able to reveal my handmade gift or its recipient until April, I will be getting straight to work on this project as soon as I'm emailed my secret gifting buddy's info.

During the summer of 2011 I participated in THIS handmade gift exchange hosted by Craftaholics Anonymous which was so very fun.

This new-to-me mystery gift exchange is being hosted by the following bloggers:

• Cassie, elegantitus
• Clara, Clover & Violet
• Courtney, mon petit lyons
• Jane buzzmills
• Jill Made with Moxie

• Karen Sew Well Maide
• Kelley casa crafty
• Melissa a happy stitch
• Rachel imagine gnats
• Stephanie The Crafty Kitty

There are some pretty amazing blogs out there written by some pretty generous people. Take a peek and say Hi to each of them if you have a moment. Bloggers always like to know there's some sort of an audience paying attention. 

More grand plans and updates soon as April's calendar fills... including Craft Fairs and other excursions.
