Monsters and Snow

I've been making all kinds of new pieces, especially while trapped inside for two weeks or so during the BLIZZARD OF 2010! So dramatic!
I'm making some new patterns for new zombies and monsters.
They are a giant hit with kiddos and adults, which is really awesome!
I seem to be slower at restocking them than I would like to be, but I think it's because for every 4 I make, my kids keep one!
Here's some of my older monsters!

Poor Neglected Blog

This poor little blog has been badly neglected. Quite understandable though. The twins are 1 1/2, and into EVERYTHING! Derby has been time consuming as well. We are in our off-season, so that means train train train! We have our practices at the rink, and then strength training at home.
Been working like crazy, and developing new products to add to the shop!
Here's a few new pieces.

An Awesome Site!

Check this site out!

It's got all kinds of radness on it!
There are articles featuring shops, designers, tips, and ideas for almost anything.
I have just started writing for them, and have posted my second article, about taking nice product photos :)

I have made something magic!

Ok. I lied. A little. These necklaces aren't magic, but they are pretty awesome!
I love old time things, old photographs, apothecary bottles, and other old randomness.


These candies I made from polymer reminds me of old penny candy.
And sometimes, the candy that Grandma had sitting in dishes in her house.


I am so pleased with how they turned out!


Clay is so fun. It makes me feel like a kid again, playing with Play Doh!

Good times, new things!

I have been crazy busy getting ready for the Blue Appalachia craft show, and also doing various other projects, like skate strap repairs for team mates!
Here's a few of the new goods!

Hellbilly Craft Show!

Yay! We are putting together a craft show, which the likes of have never been seen in this area!
It's more of a tiny festival!
We are having live rockabilly music, as well as vending from some of the area's raddest crafters!



The derby league will also be there, promoting, recruiting, and selling merchandise.
Our merch is the regular derby merch, like t-shirts and buttons, but it gets radder!
I have made some awesome, screen printed pouches, and we have customized toe guards as well!

This is the first time we are having this show, and if all goes well, we plan to turn it into a regular event! If you are local, you should definitely come out!

First time blogger

So, this is a first post.
People call me liz dexic. I skate with Mason-Dixon Roller Vixens. I also run a one woman show, called Dotted with Hearts. You can find me here, here, and here!
I make things. Rad things.
I also vend at local derby bouts, handmade events, and I love to do the Punk Rock Flea Market as well.
I have been encouraged, like many other 'small businesses' to start a blog, and with input from others, decided to mix that with derby!
So, this should be interesting!
