Here’s what cutiefruity says about her belly bands:

Belly Bands are practical and fashionable. Check my other listings for a variety of colors and prints. They are made of poly lyrca knit. Sizing is based on the hip measurement. If this item is a gift, I will add a free gift tag, just let me know.

Belly bands are great for:
♥ Covering unzipped pants
♥ Making the pre-pregnancy wardrobe last longer
♥ Covering the panel on maternity pants
♥ Smoothing out the muffin top
♥ Use as a Nursing Bra at night
♥ Lengthening too short shirts
♥ Keeping warm in the winter
♥ The look of layers without a full layer under clothes

Here’s what she says about this pendant:

Here’s an eye-catching 1.5 inch (3.81 cm) circle fine art resin pendant on a black Chinese silk cord. This tiny acrylic painting is one-of-a-kind, and depicts a white tree silhouette on a red background.

This original miniature painting was created with high quality acrylic paints on a wooden tile. The painting was then sealed on every surface, and then received a high-gloss resin finish which gives it a very polished look. The finished effect is similar to that of a heavy glass pendant, but it is actually very lightweight. The pendant features a large silver-plated aanraku bail securely fastened to the back, and comes with an 18 inch (45.72 cm) black Chinese silk cord with a lobster claw clasp.

Here is what kaboogie says about these cute boots:

Ok, so here’s my girlie version of the commando boot! A little higher for under skirts with tights! I have many colors to choose from, the boots in the picture are for illustration purposes only and may not be available.

Elastic ankle hugs, not bites. Repurposed materials. Velcro strap at mid calf. Inside flap to keep from gapping. Non-skid new suede soles for new walkers. Extra layer of flannel between two layers of suede (includng the sole) for added warmth. “About” 5 1/2 inches high.

Ok, well, I’ve decided to devote my little corner of the blogosphere to featuring interesting arts and crafts and creative finds online, mostly from www.etsy.com.

Those of you who know me, know that I have my own shop on Etsy.  http://carriespradlin.etsy.com.

So in the spirit of vanity and self interest, I will post a picture of one of my latest items.  I added it to my shop yesterday. The flower is attached to an antique bronze filigree adjustable ring and is waiting for a new home!
