I'm still figuring out what I want to do with the Dragonflight Dreams screen printing shop this year. But I know one thing for sure: the one of a kind shirts need to go. They are great- bright and colorful, and an important step in my shop-running process. But they're...
March Etsy Finds
Temperatures are back in the comfortable range here, and we're definitely get our share of the spring showers that are supposed to bring all of the pretty flowers (here's hoping). My two Etsy treasuries for March are all about nature. One takes a Celtic turn in honor...
2015 Shop Charities
Last year, one of the things I decided to do with my shops was donate a portion of proceeds to a different charity or cause each month. Over the course of 2014, between the shop proceeds and my own contributions, I donated around $400 to worthy causes. However,...
Shop Poll
Help me pick the next design for the shop! I have a few ideas roughly sketched out, thanks to last month's craft shows where I was running solo but remembered to bring my sketchbook. But I thought it'd be fun to see what you guys thought I should focus on/clean up...
December Shop Charity
Between Thanksgiving and Christmas (and being stuck inside because its too cold to go anywhere), this time of year is all about spending time with family.

So this month, the beneficiary from my shop sales is going to be Safe Horizon.

New Design: Feather
The newest design slated to be added to the Dragonflight Dreams shop repertoire: If I think about a feather as an important mythological element, two things come to mind. The first is Egyptian mythology, where the hearts of the dead were weighed against a feather on...
