From a thrift shop to a craft display...hopefully!

   Hopefully this afternoon will be a busy one in the Creative Cave.

Christmas memories (and toys) that make me smile

   Over the last few days I have found myself reflecting on memories of Christmases past.

Seeking motivation

   Hmmm…I really have slowed down in my crafting adventures thanks to the weather (the Creative Cave has been cold), errands and activities away from the house. 

Brown bracelets and a wreath that is giving me fits

   As I was pulling together the photos for today’s blog post I realized I must’ve been in a brown mood…whatever that might mean. 

Playing the yard sale game

   I am hooked on yard sales! Going out bright and early to find the best deals is like a game for me. A game I want to win. 

Holiday projects are looming

   It felt like it had been forever since I had spent any length of time in the Creative Cave. I made up for that yesterday. 

Wire earrings with a twist

   I began this blogging adventure to share my challenges and successes in crafting. I feel like today’s post contains a little of both. 

The art, or confusion, of pricing handmade items

   Do you ever go to craft shows and wonder, “How can that cost so much?” I will give my answer to this at the end of this post. 

It's a Monday and I need to get to work!

   Let’s see…I need some more wire, I need some motivation and I need something to write about. 

Wire jig cuff bracelets...it's a wonder I'm not wrapped in wire!

   It should come as no surprise to any of my readers that I enjoy working with wire. I’ve used wire to wrap bracelets, rings and pendants. 

Fresh fall wreath made and an angel craft to come

   Happy Sunday! Today I am sharing a couple of items from the Creative Cave. 

This is my 100th blog post!

   This is my 100^th blog post! It kind of snuck up on me. I guess I should’ve planned better and made this some kind of celebratory post. 

My blog can do more and I want to find out what that is

   I didn’t craft anything yesterday. What I did do was link up with other bloggers, as well as research more about promoting my own blog. 

Crafting a football tailgate centerpiece

   By now you know I am a fan of the Clemson University Tigers. I am excited for their first game of the season this evening against the Georgia Bulldogs. 

More cuffs to show your team spirit

   Because I am an equal opportunity crafter I created wire-wrapped cuff bracelets in colors for college football fans other than those of Clemson or WVU. 

Part 2: For what reason am I building an inventory?

   Like many a crafter before me, I have contemplated the idea of taking my hobby to the next level – selling.
