Looking for new ideas :D




Some of the most popular items in my shop are my playsets. Tiny turtle, ladybug, and guinea pig just to name a few.

I'm always looking for ideas for new ones. The detail on the animal can't be too intricate because my animals average 1/2" - 1" in size. If anybody has any ideas please feel free to comment.

Thanks in advance, Kathie :)

Link to playsets I have in my shop right now.

Having a problem focusing today



After being on our family vacation for a week in Naples Florida, we were all packing up to go to the airport.

Thinking back on the week we spent there we never did get to see a sunset on the beach. Either we were out doing something else or just around that time the clouds would come in.

Well just about an hour before we needed to leave for the airport I asked if my brother in law had called the airport to make sure that the plane was going to be on time. Well he did call and found out that we actually missed our plane.

The 9 of us were in shock.( For about 2 minutes) Then Whaaaaa-Whooooooo!!! we get to stay another night :D :D :D We grabbed our flip flops and drove the 2 minutes to the beach. There was the most beautiful sunset we've ever seen. It was like it was meant to be. I miss Naples :(

Will they actually bring good luck?





"Find a Wish-a-ling, pick it up, and all that day you'll have good luck"!

(That's what it says at the beginning of my description of my new Wish-a-lings)

I do believe in positive thinking. Negativity doesn't usually get you anywhere but depressed and angry. So here's to positivity :D
***************************************************************************************
Born in my imagination and living in a tree house in my ficus tree are my new whimsical creatures called "Wish-a-lings". Their names are:
Bindi, Lulu, Dip, Dot and Sam. They reminded me of a type of lucky charm. So I send each one out with a Wish for luck, hoping they just might make a difference in someones day.

If nothing else, I think they'll make you smile and If that's all you get from them I think that would be Awesome.

SALE! 10 to 50% off just about everything.......


Yes here at the wishwithme shop, I've decided for the first time since I opened my shop about 15 months ago, that it's time to give everyone a break. God knows I need one.

This economy has effected my family in countless ways, as It probably has yours too. I work hard on my creations, and I'm proud of everything In my shop. I feel I've always priced my items fairly, and I've had the most awesome customers within my first 15 months.

I've been told in more than one forum, that if you lower your prices, potential customers will think that the quality isn't that good. Well now it's time to prove them wrong. To me quality and workmanship and detail are number one and my customers know that. All this price cut means is that I'm giving my customers a break.

Things can only get better from here :) see ya soon, Kathie :)

Spring is here!





Yes, It might not feel like it where you are but Spring has sprung.

Here's something I'm posting in honor of Spring. My woolen bunny in a plantable, pickable vegetable garden. It even has a little fence around it. I know, I know, how does she come up with these things?

Well sometimes I just look at lots of different books (Yes that's books, and not the internet, explore your local library) and I look for different ideas, then I come up with my version with a twist.

For instance, for this adorable garden, I found a book with a bunny in a garden, but I thought how awesome would it be if you could actually plant and pick in that garden with the bunny to keep watch.

And Whaaaa-Laaaaaa!!! My bunny in a plantable, pickable vegetable garden:D I guess I'm in tune with the little ones because I used to have a daycare business and I had 2 of my own and quite a few nieces and nephews. I just know what they like to play with. I even throw in what I liked to play with when I was a wee one :D

So enjoy! And don't forget to sign up for my Wishwithme Newsletter. Upper left hand corner of my blog :D My newsletter has what's new, what's coming up and special discounts for my subscribers. (This month's discount is 30% off anything in my shop) WOW! Until next time: see ya, Kathie :)
