It's Mamadelic's Etsy-versary!

2006-06-26T12:12:00.000-07:00

Today is Mamadelic's one year Etsy-versary!

One year ago Mona and I were debating whether or not to open an Ebay store. Once we found out the cost and fees involved we knew it was not the direction we wanted to go. After all, our handmade goodies would be being sold right next to stuff made in factories. We wished for a marketplace like the dreaded Ebay that would sell only handmade things and so the guys at Etsy heard our plea and created Etsy just for us! (ok.. well, maybe not just for us.. but we like to think so!)

Come celebrate with us!

2006-06-21T23:07:00.000-07:00

Do you love Project Runway as much as we do?

Fabulous pendants feature Tim Gunn and the words we all love him to hear him say... "Where's Andrae? What Happened to Andrae? Andrae... would you like to go to Red Lobster with me?"

I'm working on some more featuring Santino and another one featuring Tim Gunn. How fabulous is that?

Crocheting up a storm

2006-02-09T16:10:00.000-08:00

All this cool weather here in south Florida has inspired me to get out the yarn again!

I've taken up crocheting. My motivation is that I really want to learn to make amigurumi. They are just about the most adorable things in the world! I just downloaded a pattern for an adorable little bee from www.Roxycraft.com. I'm too clumsy with patterns to attemp it yet. A few months ago I bought this cozy crochet kit. It's like the Stitch It kit by Jenny Hart, but for crochet. It has a little guide and a bunch of patterns. I decided to tackle the crochet flower pattern first. It took about 10 minutes to get going on it and by flower number 3 I was crocheting like an expert ;) Well they are pretty basic, but very cute. I put a few for sale in my etsy shop. I embellished them with vintage buttons and pin backs. I plan to put a few on barrettes too. Check them out, www.mamadelic.etsy.com, let me know what you think :) For me, crochet goes much faster than knitting. I've made 4 scarves in the past 2 days that I'm going to try to sell this weekend. I sold one last weekend, the first scarf I ever made! I'll kinda miss it, but I sold it to Harolds cousin, so I can visit it whenever I want, lol!

The Miami Craft Mafia has been so busy! We've had shows every weekend for the past month and have another this Saturday. We'll be at Shenley Park in Miami (Coral Gables). There will be a small art festival there and lot of family activities. It's supposed to be really nice out.

I Love You... but You Totally Suck!

We will be at the Wallflower Gallery in Downtown Miami for a fabulous night of crafting, prizes and shopping! Come join us!

Miami Craft Mafia member PuchiMaiko was robbed last night

2005-12-09T12:46:00.000-08:00

Sadly one of our members had her entire stock of merchandice stolen from the back of a truck while we were in an art gallery in Downtown Miami. We were there discussing an upcoming show that we will be doing on Dec.17th. Downtown is not known for being the safest place after dark and after this experience I can assure you that we will all be far more careful in the future. We are all heart broken and sick over this. We drove around for a while after to see if we found anyone with her boxes or the jogging stroller that was taken, but had no luck. Naomi plans to file a police report today. Naomi (puchiMaiko) added up the value of her items stolen and it was nearly 3000$ Please visit her site to look over a list of the items that were taken.

Another craft fair for the MCM

2005-12-09T12:45:00.000-08:00

Last night we attended a small craft show at a library on the library on the campus of the University of Miami. It was only 2 hours long and geared toward staff and students. But it was a lot of fun and we sold a few things. I drank too much Pinot Grigio! Here are a few pictures :)

What has the MCM been up to?

2005-12-09T11:39:00.000-08:00

On Dec. 3rd and 4th, we had our first ever Black Sheep Arts and Crafts show in Hollywood Florida. Considering that we only did free online advertising, I'd say that we had a very nice turn out. Each of our vendors was very happy with the turn out. We also met lots of great crafty people who may be interested in joining us in the future. Here are a few pictures for you all to enjoy!

Support Hurricane Relief!

2005-09-03T11:33:00.000-07:00

Now’s the time for the Indie Community to make a difference!

We've all seen the destruction that Hurricane Katrina has caused. It will take many years for these people to regain what was lost.

Many Indie Crafters have joined together in donating the works they make to help out those affected. Please help by going to http://www.craftrevolution.etsy.com and making a purchase.

All proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross Hurricane Relief Fund, which is providing hot meals to victims and rescue workers, as well as providing other much needed assistance such as shelter, medical needs and even therapy for victims.

Are you Indie? Donate to the cause. Go to http://craftrevolution.com/craftersunited.htm to find out how you can help!

Together, we have raised $7000 in 48 hours with no end in sight! It's unbelievable what our crafty community is capable of. There are still over 350 donated item to buy and more keep coming in all the time!

Please pass this on in your blogs and link it on your websites!

Thanks! Now, go get some goods!
