A bit of fun pulled from the Indie Fixx Flickr Group from Pilli Pilli. Aren’t they all adorable?
Make sure to join the flickr group and share your photos. They can be anything–images of your work, your studio, home improvement pics, vacation pics, crafty projects and really whatever you feel like sharing with the group. I do check out the Indie Fixx Flickr Group everyday to see the latest additions though and like to share finds occasionally.
P.S. I want to let you know that I am taking Friday for a little mini break. I will return on Monday.
I’ve put together a collection of some of the cutest handmade goods found in the Winter Love Galleria. What do you think?

The Indie Fixx Galleria is an online showcase of handmade, indie-made & vintage goods. Think of it as an ‘indie mall’ featuring a mix of designers & boutiques to provide a curated shopping experience. Participants do pay a fee to take part, but the Galleria is juried.
Now accepting applications for the Green Galleria – March 5th – April 23rd
All types of goods will be considered including handmade & vintage, but there will be a focus on green goods (both eco green & color green) as well as goods for St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, April Fool’s Day and Earth Day. All artists, designers, crafters and indie boutiques that create or carry handmade, vintage and/or indie made goods are welcome to apply. The cost is $20. The deadline to apply is: March 2nd.
Send your url or 3 small images to apply.
I’m sort of back at work today. Feeling a lot better, although my head is still full of lost of snot. Gross, but true, and I want someone else to feel my pain. 
Since I am easing my way back into the whole work thing, I thought I share some images from the Indie Cats Flickr Pool I started last year. What better way to start the new year than looking at pics of our furry sweeties? Sorry for all you dog people, but I’m a cat person…
Here are some recent highlights. You can join and share your cuties as well.

Artist Jennifer Wilfong of Yummy & Company does a little bit of everything. She paints, creates paper goods & makes jewelry from copper and polymer clay. But it was actually her polymer creations that caught my eye a couple of weeks ago when I saw them in person at an indie craft show….and especially her little polymer planters. She had them filled with succulents and they were just so cute and so perfect to brighten up a desk at work, a kitchen window sill or some other place needing a little cheer.
Jennifer sells the planters, which can also be used as small jewelry holders (someplace to put your ring when cleaning) or as MOO card holders, for $20 on her website. She doesn’t normally sell them with the succulents, but can upon request…although they may not hold up in shipment.
I have also got my eye on a few of her polymer jewelry pieces as well. I like this ring, this necklace and these earrings.
