Will there be a theme for October? Maybe something fall related. Just wondering. It was discussed in one of the areas and I think that it would be a good motivator.

Amzjewellerydesigns · 10/01/2009 9:07 am

i would like a theme for this month. say till the end of the month and we each post pictures here or add the new item to our shops??

twocatscreative · 10/01/2009 11:06 am

I must have missed where this was talked about before... how will it work?

HippieChickBoutique · 10/01/2009 11:52 am

Well i'm definitely up for a theme I think that's a great idea. Well being that it's fall we could do something fall related, certain colors, pumpkins, leaves, stuff like that.

Amzjewellerydesigns · 10/01/2009 6:02 pm

twocatscreative, the idea is just to create a theme each month to keep us motivated and creative and share what we have come up with and perhaps add them to our stores!

so should we do a general fall theme for october? or be more specific?

twocatscreative · 10/01/2009 6:12 pm

Well, I've already got a load of fall and Halloween stuff in my shop (I say load, it's really not in the grand scheme of things of course!). TBH, unless this batch sells, I won't add more. I'm going to have a special promotion for them all starting tomorrow I think. It pains me to say it, but I'm already working on Christmas stuff!

That said, tomorrow is a craft supply shopping day, so you never know what will catch my eye!

Only thing I have right now is my Circle of Fire necklace. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31203970 It's black and orange, does that count??

It's carnelian nuggets on sterling silver.

I've got a pumpkin. Maybe this will inspire me to finish my scarecrow sometime before Halloween.

soulstone321, I love the necklace. It fits both categories fall and Halloween. I have a few things that will qualify:

I have a black and orange headband up in my shop, and I just made a fall color tutu (brown, goldenrod, and bronze). I'll get that up in the next few days and tag it with our team name.

Amzjewellerydesigns · 10/02/2009 4:50 pm

lol

well we really need a theme that will inspire us toc reate something new!

fall is a little general, i have a few items which i created for the fall season so i probably wouldnt want to go creating more!

I'm already thinking about christmas items, i added things which can be good as stocking fillers already!! getting in nice and early!

what about something like 'a winter wedding', or 'leaves', 'stars'...etc...so it's not just a fall theme and see what we come up with?

HippieChickBoutique · 10/02/2009 7:03 pm

Ok, well, hmmmm *scratches head* Since it's october we could do something like pumpkins, pumpkin colored items etc. I like the leaves idea too, using fall leaf colors or integrating leaf items into pieces.

Let me ask you guys this, when you think of fall what's the first thing that comes to mind?

twocatscreative · 10/03/2009 4:17 am

I was part of a themed photography challenge for my Project 365. In that case, we kept the themes pretty general so that everyone could interpret things in a manner suitable to their work.

So, IMO, a theme like 'leaves' is good.

As for what I think of first, I always see in my head one of those autumn-y farmer's markets with pumpkins, hay rides, gourds, indian corn, etc. I missed that like crazy when I was in the UK and I can't *wait* to take my boys to one.

HippieChickBoutique · 10/03/2009 11:22 am

I think about that same type of thing, only thing is I live in the desert now and we don't really get that here. That's why I kind of miss the northwest. I really would love to take my oldest to a pumpkin patch! I miss the changing of the leaves, and seeing them across a valley mixed in with the evergreen trees, the fresh smell after a rain, getting all bundled up and drinking hot cider. Ugh. I don't miss the rain in general though

Amzjewellerydesigns · 10/03/2009 6:04 pm

i think of the trees losing their leaves...lots of rain.....umm.....thats about it!

HippieChickBoutique · 10/04/2009 1:38 am

Ok well I think Leaves is a good theme, lets roll with that. I guess we can all do what our interpretation of that would be, doesn't necessarily have to include leaf shapes, could mean colors etc. So yeah Leaves it is

Monkeeta · 10/04/2009 10:56 am

Ok, I'll get to working on a leaf inspired item. Fun!!

Amzjewellerydesigns · 10/04/2009 3:31 pm

oooh great!!

will have soemthing to work on tomorrow while i have the house to myself!

vintagecarolina · 10/10/2009 1:20 pm

I just sold my orange beads. All that I have for Halloween are these jumbo spider die cuts

Since we are well into October we could carry the Fall theme through Thanksgiving, perhaps. I will have to see what else I can come up with.

bayatinge · 10/13/2009 3:36 pm

I have a new necklace with leaves - and I'm working on another leaf necklace tonight!

HippieChickBoutique · 10/14/2009 11:10 am

I just finished the second set of towels for my mother in-law that are thanksgiving inspired, so today i'll hopefully be starting on my leaf inspired towel set. It's cute

IngaStitch · 10/19/2009 3:59 pm

Thanks for the inspiration.

I got my leaf cross stitch pattern done.
