Featuring "Skip to My Lue"

Skip to My Lue is one of Etsy's newest shops. The "doors" were opened in May 2009 by Denielle Lue. The shop features handmade items for women and babies. Denielle is a married mother of two wonderful kids, a 6 year old daughter and a 9 year old son and just celebrated her 11th wedding anniversary.
Denielle spent many years trying to find just the right hobby. She's tried beading, scrapbooking, sketching, crocheting and knitting and didn't really stick with any of them for too long. About 3 years ago she took a quilting class with a friend and has been hooked on sewing ever since. She enjoys creating anything that involves sewing. Her most recent projects consist of custom drapes, Buttercup Bags, totes and baby items.
For more information visit Skip to My Lue's blogsite at http://www.skiptomylue.com/ or support the shop at http://www.skiptomylue.etsy.com/. Additional pictures of her work are also available on Flickr at www.flickr.com/photos/dlue.

Leather and copper... I love it!

Copper wire is a very versatile material to work with and I love how it looks in modern jewelry. Handformed and hammered in different ways, accented with beads or just plane designs... just wire... no soldering or glueing, I will bring all my hands and tools can sculpt for you.

I'll keep my mind in organic & simple designs, I love nature and it inspires me everyday...
I love leather, It's a great complement for copper pendants, it's rustic and delicate at the same time... but as always, I have so many options of cords for your choosing.

New copper wire Jewelry Designs are coming soon, please keep tuned and have a great day...

A weekend of hope...

As so many people know, this weekend is The Weekend to End Breast Cancer® in Canada, organized by the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

This June 6-7, 2009 thousands of women and men will be participating in this special event walking 60 kilometres to support breast cancer and other women's cancers research, and services through the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

According to the National Cancer Institute of Canada, approximately 21,100 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and about 5,400 will die from the disease. And there are many other cancers that also affect women. That's why they are walking so far, to do something bold about breast cancer and other women's cancers.

One of my best friends is participating in this incredible adventure and It will be amazing if you would share this information and support them in their fundraising efforts.

If you or your friends are interested in making a donation you can go to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation website and click on DONATE TODAY link.

Every participant of this event has a personal site to encourage support and receive donations that will go 100% directly to the Fundation, my friend's site is this one: Jeska

As participants we honour lives lost, celebrate survivors, and help raise crucial funds to end breast cancer. It is through the support of people like you that they can ensure that the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation remains a place of hope and caring. I hope to bring an end to breast cancer forever...

I just found some Etsy Shops supporting the research for a cure for breast cancer, so, there are so many ways to help :)
