Candy Apple Red Celluloid Lace Tatting Shuttle
I have been so behind on everything since my laptop died AGAIN! The Ebay auction for this beautiful shuttle is nearly over and I'm just now getting it blogged! For those of you shopping around for a laptop, buy a MacBook, not a Dell! In Dell's defense, they are replacing my lemon with a hopefully new one (I suspect they will send me a refurb from what I've heard from other owners). I have had it with trying to work with their tech support!
Now, for more pleasant things :)
Dave handcrafted this 2 ½ inch tatting shuttle out of colorful "Apple Red" celluloid. It has been initialed and dated by Dave.

Vegan Ivory Hedgehog Sewing Needle Pin Cushion
This is “Little Tag” the hedgehog, that Dave carved out of a Tagua Nut (South American Palm). Tagua Nut is commonly called “vegetable ivory”(Vegan) because it can be carved and scrimshawed like regular ivory. Dave has inset a small but powerful earth magnet inside him, and he would just love to hold your pins and needles for you and be your favorite pet. He is only about 1 5/8 inches long and you can tuck him safely in his valour pouch. "Little Tag" has been initialed and dated on the bottom by Dave, the artist
If you would like to view more photos of "Little TAg" please visit my Ebay auction.

We've Been Featured!
It's always so exciting to find out one of your items has been featured in a treasury on Etsy! Today, we found our "Graceful Beauty" cameo needle minder included in one!Campo di Fiore, who makes beautiful cold processed handmade soaps in the Castile region of Spain, curated this gorgeous collection of some of their favorite items found on Etsy.
Here We Go Again!!!
This is getting ridiculous!
We've been slammed yet again by a fraudulent telecommunications company through Qwest. this time, it is from "ESBI ETS" who charged our telephone bill $14.95 for a residential email service we do not use (Last time, it was "Orbit Telecom" that tried to charge the same amount for an voice mail service we do not use). The last time Qwest allowed this to happen, we spent nearly two hours on the phone trying to get this remedied. At the time, we were allowing Qwest to auto-debit our bank account, which we immediately stopped. Since this is the third time we have had this happen, we can only come to the conclusion that this deceptive practice is accepted by Qwest.
After doing a Google search for this company, I found that many other people are experiencing the same thing on their phone bills. I also found a great link where you can report these types of fraudulent companies online via the FCC.
Double check your latest phone bill and look for a charge from "Orbit Telecom" or "ESBI ETS"! Ours was listed under "Enhanced Telecommunications Services".
Oh, and if the Qwest corporate office happens to have a Google alert set for any online occurances of it's name being mentioned and is reading this, here's a little heads-up for you--We are reporting you to the FCC.....again! We expect a higher level of professionalism from our utility providers than this!

Grizzly Mountain Arts Now On 1000Markets.com!
I have finally convinced Dave to open a shop on 1000markets.com! I have had one there for a while now for my ceramic jewelry, but knew Dave's coiled pine needle baskets would be perfect for the site.
While I love making the coiled baskets, my hands won't cooperate these days and boy, has Dave ever taken up the slack! He has put our large stash of Ponderosa pine needles to good use, creating some outstanding pieces.
Dave's baskets incorporate some of my ceramic centerpieces, pyrography on wood and fossil ivory with scrimshaw.
