One more site to join....

Anyone else on this? I just joined last night.  I guess I need buddies on here or something...

DIYscene.com - DIY Clothing, Indie Design, and Craft Discussion Forum

It's a messageboard for crafters and DIYers to come together to show off your products, promote, annouce upcoming events, and maybe even rant a little about the business, because we all know it ain't perfect.  I received a warm welcome and gained a few hearts out of it - I added a heart or two myself.  Go pay a visit.

Flickr Faves & Craft Stylish & Indie Parade

So much to share I do not know where to begin!!!

First, I was pleasantly surprised and happy to see my Sushi Roll Necklace on the front page of Indie Parade.

Pulp Sushi @ IndieParade.comcenter>

On my new quest to finding non-Etsy forums to promote, I learned last night at the monthly {NewNew} team meeting about a new publication and website called Craft Stylish.

Craftstylish

I did not hesitate to set up an account. I know, there's SO many sites to join I can't keep track of what username and password is for what! Do I already have an account there? ACK!!! I guess I just like the newness of Craft Stylish, oh the opportunities!

It's also time for another set of Flickr Faves!!!!

New use for coasters

Who doesn't love getting comments? I always check out every website left when someone leaves a comment because you never know what wonderful things you may come across. For example, take this entry from The Butterly Collector who came up with a great idea for old coasters she gave new life to.

There are more pictures when you click the link to see what exactly she did with these Geisha coasters. Kinda goes along with the Vintage theme for the month, even though it's not Friday. :)

Pink Lime Pie

I really feel like I need to start showing this blog some more love! It has been 100,000 years since I have mentioned Polyvore haven't I? I need to start sharing more of my sets with everyone, just because! :)

The weather today is so nice, if I can express it in colors, it would be pink and green.

Friday Etsy Finds - VintageKitchen

Vintage is a hot word these days. Almost as hot as the word Green So with that, I decided to take it back this month and go Vintage as the theme.  The first for this month is TheVintageKitchen.

Her Etsy shop provides wonderful antique finds for your kitchen. They just don't make items with detail like this anymore.

Instead everyone has gone all contemporary and streamline with design, not that there's anything wrong with that. A little charm every now and then can go a long way especially after coming home from a long days work.

Gabreial is the real deal! She is the Editor of Vintage Indie Magazine and also runs Indie Wedding Guide.

How to make a bottlecap magnet

Check out my tutorial at The {NewNew} Etsy Team Blog on how to make bottlecap magnets. I might be shooting myself in the foot posting this. These are a pretty popular shop item but it's my contribution to the Earth Day theme the blog has kept this month. Ya know, recycle, reuse, all that crap! :)  Seriously though, I have been wanting to post a "How To.." for a while now and this was the perfect opportunity.  While you're there, check out the other great entries posted by other team members.  Craftzine.com has already picked up a couple of the stories so woohoo go team!!

Look at that fruit salad for $3.99!!!

    New at Pulp Sushi (Etsy)

    Good morning! I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Look what cuties snuck back into the shop?

    I got a couple more of the Little Ladies available for sale.   Along with more sets of Pinup Girl buttons and another pair of Teal Ivory Earrings.  There is still more to come! I got some more neat supplies over the weekend that I would like to work on.  Not enough time in the day I tells ya!

    Parlez-vous français? I took French my freshman year of college and barely passed, I was horrible. There was nothing sexy about the way I butchered that language.

    In the latest issue of Bust magazine, they mention the blog The Cherry Blossom Girl. Knowing it was going to be in French, I still had to check it out.  What a beautiful site! Alix loves fashion and photography and she loves sharing it. You can tell she has a lot of fun with her camera. What a treat!

    Pulp Web Obsessions 03.04.08

    One of the ideas I had for this site is to review what's going on with other sites.  The last time I did this, I introduced some of you to MORE neat places to visit and I am always on the lookout for new blogs to browse. I am all about "the more"! Meet the new weekly feature! So what's been going on as of late?


  • Design Is Mine shows off some ADORABLE Japanese glassware.
  • Wise Craft stops to smell the Hellebores and eagerly waits for Spring.
  • Nikki-Shell is about to have a baby but she gets one last stitch in the Brown Owls.
  • Future Girl finds a new purpose for a Bento box and look! An Octopus!!!!
  • Meet Me At Mike's has got some serious cute, yummy and pretty going on.


  • And for a quick shop update, another Geisha pendant has been added...
