Lately I’ve really been really struggling to sink my teeth into this year and get on with things for various reasons. But thankfully I’ve had the good fortune for other people to be featuring me and talking about me to help motivate me to pull myself together!

Firstly, so far in February I’ve had my work featured on the Etsy home page three whole times - two times on consecutive days! This momentarily made me wonder if someone had it in for me … I could almost hear the knives come out and felt like going and hiding under my bed!

But of course I ignored those worries and decided to instead feel very pleased about it. Twice the features were a result of gorgeous Etsy Metal Treasury lists, both of them created by new (and very talented!) member KatKrafty.

Also today I am lucky to be the featured shop in Etsy seller lavajewelry’s blog, Cranial Meltdown Revived. Note that lavajewelry (otherwise known as ‘Chel) features Etsy shops on a very regular basis - you can find more featured shops here and they’re well worth keeping an eye on!

Finally, my jewelry was also recently featured on one of my new favourite blogs, Modamuse - and, yes, it was coincidentally a new favourite before I was featured! Modamuse is a blog about modern Australian and New Zealand artisans, designers and crafters - keep your eyes on that one too!

PS. Another feature has just appeared before my eyes. This time my Marilyn brooch has been featured on the ThisNext blog. Yay!

PPS. And another! Nolé Style and Beauty Indulgence has a feature today on jewellery from Etsy. And my blossom earrings are there!
