I don't know if this is posted somewhere in the forum but I could not find it in search.  Can anyone tell me how I would turn a completed x-stitch on Aida cloth into a card?  I used to cross stitch many moons ago and reading this forum made me dig out my old stuff and now  I want to do something with it.  And if I use it for a card, is there something I'm supposed to put on it so that it doesn't get dirty?

Here's my first book made of book board, cardstock, japanese washi paper, a ribbon, and glue.  I'm very proud of it and enjoyed making it.  I'm hooked!

Okay, I have an online boutique mainly selling other crafter/designers products and a couple of mass produced products.   I have been in business for a year and doing well.  But I have recently started selling my own handmade crafts (plumeria clay flower hair accessories - I've posted them in the forum before) and a friend of mines says I should keep the two seperate.  Love's Endless Possiblities as it currentlly is and a separate site for my stuff.  I already have a businessname and registered a domain for it last year just in case...can you guess the name?  PinkPlumeria.com  but wasn't sure if I wanted to bother with running two different sites, two different set of cards, two different PayPal accounts, etc.

What do you think I should do?  Should I run two sites?  Should I phase out Love's Endless Possibilities eventually and concentrate solely on my own craft as Pink Plumeria?  What if I do, and I don't do as well with my own items? I do plan on being diversified and will make other items in addition to my flowers.  But what if?

Your opinons please?  Thank you

Here are the flowers I created last night.  They are made from Heart clay and are still in the drying process but were safe enough to manuever to take the picture.

I hope you like them and that they bring some sunshine to those of you who are in the middle of winter!

Any feedback would be appreciated.

**I finally figured out how to post an image.  I leave out the "www" in the url!  Oh, and I changed the subject title.**

Enjoy!

I'm a new member and this is my first post.

I just completed a Hawaiian Eyelash Lei and wanted to spread some sunshine to those of you who are in the middle of winter by sharing a picture of the lei.
