I’m originally from South Africa. I’m a stay at home mom and I have been involved with crafts and enjoyed them for many years. I took fine arts and Crafts & Design in college, majoring in glass blowing.

I currently work with paper creating cards, invitations, gift tags and other custom items.
If you are looking for something specific, custom orders are always welcome. I also design wedding invitations and will have my designs for sale in the near future.

Featured Artist – The Little Ballerina

Last Updated on Friday, 18 September 2009 12:02 Written by Manic Butterfly Saturday, 19 September 2009 09:00

I am a stay at home mom of three-Charlotte who is 3, Draven who was 2 in July (yes, they’re super close-15 1/2 months apart) and a newborn, Mason. I have a wonderful husband, Jonathon. We’ve been together for almost 10 years and have been married for almost 5. He’s the best thing that could have happened to me. 

I’d like to introduce my Etsy shop, The Little Ballerina which was inspired by my 3 year old daughter when she all of a sudden wanted to be a ballerina. I made her a couple of tutus and decided to start selling them since I had so much fun creating the two for her. When that started taking off, I thought I had to promote some more with accessories. I love making tutus, and will make your custom tutu just the way you want it. I’ve also made a variety of bows and will customize them just for you.

In my shop I have many different style clippies, 2 styles of tutus to choose from, an assortment of clippy and bow holders, and many other types of accessories. Check it out for all your little girls’ needs! I’ve had a lot of fun making these and hope to continue to do so for quite awhile. I put 100% into everything I do and make.

Featured Artist – Ginger Kitty Designs

Last Updated on Saturday, 12 September 2009 06:12 Written by Manic Butterfly Sunday, 13 September 2009 09:00

My name is Tracey and I am a mother of two wonderful boys and I LOVE designing jewelry! After losing my day job (of 10 years), I decided to open my own store and sell my designs.

I have always been creative, but jewelry design allows me the freedom to express myself. Ginger Kitty Designs offers beautiful handcrafted jewelry and accessories, and I run a ‘Trade Friendly Store.’ I have designed and handcrafted each piece of jewelry you will find in my store, and I will make every effort to make sure you are a happy customer and have a positive experience. 

I am the original creator of a line of jewelry made with nail polish, called ‘Nail Polish Jewelry Line.’  I can custom design any of the jewelry you see in my stores or on my Flickr account, or I can make you a completely unique piece of you – in whatever color or style that suits you.

Most of my designs can be customized to your needs. I can change the size of bracelets and clasps, the color of beads, and change earrings to clip on. Ginger Kitty Designs now also offers jewelry repair. If you have a piece that needs to be restrung or is broken I can more than likely repair it.

I have found that selling my designs is very rewarding and I love when a customer says, “wow it is just beautiful!.” It brings great joy to my life and a smile to my face!
