A New Direction...

I have had an overwhelming amount of requests over the last few years asking me to share ALL of my personal creations, not just the accessories I sell. Personally, I enjoy seeing the artistic process, learning tips and basic instruction about how something was made. I think that is why I LOVE Pinterest so much! Reading blogs about how other creative minds develop and finish their creative endeavors makes my heart happy! Others inspire and encourage me to not only dream up the things I love making...but to actually begin AND finish them! We need to celebrate our creative accomplishments!

With the support of fellow friend bloggers, I have been encouraged to branch out of just sharing the jewelry I am making, but also the decor/visual display, flower arranging, baby projects, organization, and "trash to treasure" revamping, that I do in my spare time. I will be blogging about my process, in addition to the finished product. Another high demand area of interest has always been Etsy tips, so I will be blogging that information as well.  I would love your feedback on what you would like to see or learn about. Subscribe to my blog and leave me lots of comments!

From this point on, the Katie Kraus Vintage Blog will offer more personal details and how to's, in hopes of inspiring you to do what you love! So, get comphy, grab your cup coffee, and enjoy a couple of minutes to youself to nourish the part of you that often gets set aside...your CREATIVE self!

It's a Girl!

As many of you may know, I have been off the blog map for a while because...I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Ellie Kate! She just turned 2 months old, and I am now back in the studio, designing again, with a new found creativity and appreciation for life. How magical it is to have your first baby!

Make sure to "like" me on FB at Katie Kraus Vintage Designs for the most up to date info on events and special deals. I will also be continuing to update my Etsy page at www.katekraus.etsy.com

Here's to a blessed 2013!
