ArtistryLive

I have a whole bunch of different journals, in which I keep every good idea I come across. I have one for parties, one for gift ideas, one for sewing, one for altered art, one for spirituality, one for ideas for my dream house.... you get the idea. This website is my way of putting all these journals together to hopefully inspire other people and help them to become the DIY queen that they truly aspire to be. I'm not Martha by any stretch of the imagination, but I do love to do everything myself. Besides this blog which I try to keep updated once or twice a week, I own ArtistryEverything (http://www.artistryeverything.com) and ArtistryBaby (http://www.artistrybaby.com) and I am working on developing a pattern website (as soon as I have more than one pattern for sale). I try to do as many tutorials as I can myself, but I am always looking for contributions from other WAHMs/bloggers to add fascinating and inspiring content to the site.

Besides the craftiness, I am also very passionate about cloth diapering and getting cloth diapering more "out there". I have developed a very easy to use diapering system which involves a mini diaper- it's basically a hybrid between a fitted and a tri-folded prefold. I sell these diapers at ArtistryBaby (http://www.artistrybaby.com) and I sell the pattern here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10719429. Some examples of the diaper sets can be seen here: http://hyenacart.com/prod_details.php?id=35797&vid=1224

My name is Melissa and I am the owner and designer of MJennings Designs, LLC. I began beading as a hobby while I was waiting for my son to come home (he was adopted from Guatemala) and after I left my teaching career to stay home with my son I turned my hobby into a business and that is how MJennings Designs, LLC was born! I make Personalized Name Bracelets and Beaded Jewelry Custom Designed For You!

The triple strand 14k gold fill and bali silver bracelet is the "top of the line" mommy bling! Show your children's names (or grandchildren's) names off in style! This is my most popular design and I always get tons of compliments every time I wear it. It is my favorite because it goes with both gold and silver which I wear mixed together everyday!

A Frog In My Soup

Offering encouragement and support to busy moms with young children is my primary passion. I also frequently share my thoughts on products, sites, books, etc and offer frequent contests. Because the popularity of reviews and giveaways has begun to consume my personal blog I have begun another blog called Froggy Reviews to help organize it all. So, it is a great place to visit to discover the latest and greatest products, books, resources, online shopping, CONTESTS and more! I am the SAH/WAH mom of 6 boys and I simply love writing and sharing my day to day joys, struggles, discoveries and life. I am also the owner of Sweet 'n Simple Design where I design websites, blogs, mommy cards, shoppes and much more just for women! I truly love creating designs for moms that perfectly reflect them, their family and even their life :) I have taken it one step further though and I will soon be offering Wordpress blog! hosting through a fun site called Mom Blog Central. This site gives moms the opportunity to have a Sweet 'n Simple Design (custom or choose from a variety of pre-made designs) on their own Wordpress blog for a nominal annual hosting fee.

My most popular product by far is Mommy Blogs, I currently design for Blogger and self-hosted Wordpress. There is no better feeling than when I am told how perfect a design is and how wonderfully it reflects a mom. Becoming more and more popular are my Mommy Cards which offer moms a fun opportunity to have a card that they can share with friends, play-date parents, teachers and family! I specialize in custom designs with a very whimsical or scrappy look.

I love my child safety products because they are inexpensive, simple yet serve a very important need. My favorite child safety product is our shoe sticker kit. I love it because they work well and they are always with your child, you don't have to think about it. You get 20 stickers for $10.

My name is Cindi, and I’m a Baby-Boomer wife, mom of 2 grown daughters, and have one granddaughter. I’m a native of New England, and live in an historic small town in Connecticut.My interests include Vintage Collectibles and of course, Shopping! I became interested in vintage items through my grandmother, who was born in 1901 and lived to be over 100. She always appreciated fine things and shared her knowledge with me. I inherited many of her items. As a result of this interest, I opened Moomette’s Magnificents, my eBay Store where I soon became a Power Seller. My eBay store is pretty much eclectic focusing on New & EUC upscale clothing, Vintage Collectibles & more. I’m also an independent consultant for a variety of terrific companies ~ including Tupperware, Gourmet & Comfort food, Mineral Makeup, Beauty, Fashionable purses & handbags, Baby items, Paper Goods & Unique Gifts ideas.

Expanding on this success, I’ve established Moomettes’ Magnificents Olde Towne Shoppes. Some of the fine Ye Older mercantile Shoppes you’ll find include … Artisan Hand-Crafted Knitted & Monogrammed Baby & Toddler Clothing, Sea Glass Candles, Handbags, Bead Jewelry, Note Cards & More. Many of our fine unique product offerings are handcrafted in the USA by exceptionally talented, “indie” cottage-industry Work-at-Home Moms. You’ll find unique gifts specifically chosen to reflect what New England is known for ~ it’s spectacular mountains and nautical maritime history.

My Specialty Shoppes category offers Direct Sales Opportunities. I am an affiliate of each of the great shoppes here and & welcome you to join my team. Just fill out the affiliate application at each shoppe you want and please add my name ~ Cindi Matthews ~ as the person who referred you.

You’ll also see that I am very passionate about the benefits of online education. After a 20-year break from when I first started college, I received my B.S. degree in Business Administration with a minor in Sociology through accredited online studies while in my 40s. Af terwards, I then went on to complete another A.S. degree in Paralegal Studies, graduating Magna Cum Laude, all while working full-time and raising a family. Taking my Paralegal Experience one step further, I have now established my website at CT Paralegal Virtual Assistant Services, and offer freelance Virtual Assistant Services for all your business needs. After being employed in the business community for many years as a Paralegal, I’m looking forward to being a Work-at-Home Grandma and sharing tips with all my fellow Baby Boomers on how to successfully transition from commuter to eBiz Owner!
