Last night
Myself and Amy over at
Mama's Little Monkey's, once again had the amazing pleasure of interviewing 4 totally hot Handmade Mommas on our Wednesday show of
Mom's Cafe.
Our first Momma was Christie from
Stitch ~n~ Love, which I personally met over in the
Cafemom Street Team. She can be found in many places:
Artfire,
Etsy,
1,000 Markets, and
Congo. You can even find her on
her blog! Christie and her way cute Hubby Tony are the parents of 6 kids, including a Chipmunk, and a Jaguar! She lives in a
stinkin' Zoo!
Christie is a whiz at sewing! I love browsing around her
Artfire Shop! She makes adorable boutique clothing, modeled by her very own Chipmunks! One of my favorites is the
Custom Twirl Skirt Outfit! Christie said it takes an entire day to create this outfit, and I'm giving her the props she deserves.
That is one fantastic sewing accomplishment!
After we browsed around all of Christie's links, we had the opportunity talk to "
Meeez Picard" or Paula, from
Picard Creative! I have got to admit, I really enjoyed interviewing Paula! She is a great inspiration and help to anyone who wants to sell handmade online! Paula came up with a way to bring people to
Artfire by creating the
Crazy Train. I really love the way the people over at the crazy train promote other artisans and I appreciate and respect how they are
bringing people in to the handmade movement!
Paula's items are really neat and I love the concept! She makes
repurposed magnets from old cans, and
art collages. My personal favorites are the
Pin up Magnets! Oh and not to mention, she even has a magnet up with a pic of
me!
Paula can be found on
Artfire and
Etsy and has a great
Blog too! I encourage you to check her out, get your ticket for the
Crazy Train (and I have to mention the
Train's conductor Larry over at
Chelsea Lynn Designs), and take some time to browse around her
artfire shop! I have laughed until my sides hurt at the creative magnets she has! Those magnets will make great gifts! I know a few people I would love to give them to!
Elegance by Mode was our third Hot Mom of the night! Elegance has been around
Blockhead Radio for awhile now and also lives in North Carolina along with myself and
Larry from
The Crazy Train. Elegance was a hoot! She has two daughters one of which is Brittany who spilled the beans on Mom and told us a funny story about her skipping and singing through the shopping mall!
You can find Elegance on
Artfire and her
blog, and she is on
Byhand.me also. Since I
have met Elegance, I have loved visiting her store! She has some of the prettiest handmade jewelry I've ever seen! Each
piece has been handwoven with love! I must admit, her craft is one I would never have the patience to attempt! I found my favorite
piece as I was browsing last night. I have never seen another cameo ever, like her
Woven Cameo Necklace. I am personally saving my dollars for that beautiful
piece of art! Everything in her shop is amazing! You guys have got to stop by and see what all the talk is about!
The final Mom of the night was Valerie from
Kickins Kreations. She has some of the tastiest looking candles I've ever seen! We had a blast going through her shop and throwing links into chat for everyone to drool over! You can find Valerie,
everywhere! Really, she is on
Artfire,
Flickr,
Byhand.me,
Myspace,
Facebook, and
Twitter!
We were all taken by surprise when we actually saw a
Pickles and Ice Cream Candle! My personal favorite is the
Chocolate Amaretto Pie Candle and
The Fruit Bowl Candle! Valerie has so many different candles and soaps in her shop! I loved looking around and learning about candle making! She really has a great outlook on selling handmade online and I loved talking with her!
You can catch Mom's Cafe on
Blockhead Radio every Wednesday Night at 9pm Eastern Time hosted by Rocker and Mama! Mom's Cafe is currently having a
Mother's Day Giveaway check it out and give a great gift to your friend! Thirty Minute Momma is a BLAST, if you would like to sign up to be a future Thirty
Minute Momma,
here is how to do it! Thanks again for all the Moms we had the opportunity to talk with last night!
