getting back in line is hard to do...

Hello!
Yes, it has been awhile since I've posted anything of quality content...

However, now that I'm up and running again I have a few announcements to make:

1.  I have discovered GLITTER! I have come out with a line of glitter cards (mostly Christmas and seasonal designs right now including a swirly reindeer, Santa and some autumn leaves) and am preparing to put them up in ample time for Christmas in my Etsy shop.

2.  I have also discovered EXTREME COUPONING (which in my case is actually more like EXTREME REBATING, because a lot of people don't bother with buying the rebate items because it's just too much damn work)!! Check it out here.

Thanks for reading!

whew!...

Hello....after 3 or so months of slacking!

I've been extremely busy and trying to get myself figured out so I'll post a short update.

I have recently quit my full time job and have decided to dedicate my time to my art and buying and selling gold and silver estate jewelry.

It has been a rough couple of months with a lot of drama and issues but I'm still truckin'. =D

Right now on Ebay I have an extremely beautiful pair of 14k yellow gold estate earrings weighing in at 3.1 DWT (pennyweight) for $170.00. Please see picture and link below.

For Ebay listing, click HERE.



Alright. That's all, folks!

Keep checking my Etsy shop and back here for new blogs!

Thanks for reading!

slacking...

Hello!

I honestly don't think I've blogged in a month or more. It's been a crazy spring and I've just been skimping on my blogging duties. To be completely honest, I've been skimping on a lot of duties.

I haven't been keeping a lot of my work and my etsy account up to date, so for the next few days I hope to rediscipline myself.

But before we all commint a heinous crime against the artist, I have come to redeem myself; I HAVE posted a few new items in my shop.



"kraken." Photography Print. 8x10. $20.00
For more information on this item please follow this link.



Sterling Silver Unakite Necklace. $60.75.
For more information on this item please follow this link.



"parking." Photography Print. 8x10. $20.00.
For more information on this item please follow this link.

So...while I was posting this I developed a craving for Gravy Baked Porkchops (which are amazing by the way) and decided that since I love them, you should love them too. Here's the recipe:



6 (1¼ inch thick) pork chops

Salt and pepper

1 tablespoon butter

¾ cup milk

¼ cup water

2 cans condensed cream of mushroom soup

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Saute the pork chops in the butter for about 5 minutes on each side.

In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, water and soup. Place the pork chops in a baking dish and pour the mixture over the chops.

Bake for 45 minutes.

Enjoy!

nothing much to say here...

Hello!

Just a reminder that the Inspire Your Heart With Art Day Sale is January 31st starting at 12am and all photography items are 60% off!

The link to my shop is here.

I don't have much more to say on that note. Been working on some beaded hemp bracelets lately, just relaxing. Other than that, see you Tuesday!

Thanks for reading!

oh my...

Again, I have failed you all in my duties as a "blogger" to keep my blogs up to date and filled with awesome information from the land of Laura. Major fail.

Hello anyway!

So here's what's been going on this past week that I regretfully have not been on:

1. I AM changing the shop name to ehrmann eclectics., period, end of story, moving on.

2. I HAVE been working, not just blowing you off. I have successfully created new business cards, product labels, gift certificates (which will be coming out when I get them) and the like.

3. I HAVE NOT made a single piece of jewelry, picked up a paintbrush, turned on my camera or shortened a wick ALL week long. (refer to No. 2 if you have any questions about what I WAS doing.)

AND........THE EPIC FINALE THAT YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR THAT IS TOTALLY GOING TO BLOW ALL YOUR POLKA DOT SOCKS OFF (for those of you with stripes, plaids, symbols or just plain boring socks, please disregard this message...).......!

4. I DID go to the dentist and get my six month check up and cleaning. (I need to floss, but no cavities. *two thumbs way, way up*)

Again, I will be having a sale on January 31st for Inspire Your Heart With Art Day. Please see the previous post for details, because, honestly, I don't remember what I told you the sale prices would be.

Thanks for reading!

HAVE SALES TO CELEBRATE ABSOLUTELY UNHEARD OF AND BIZARRE HOLIDAYS!!!

First one up:

INSPIRE YOUR HEART WITH ART DAY!!
(how fitting, right, right?)

incognita. will be celebrating this holiday on January 1st, 2011 with a photography sale. All photography items (including custom items) will be on sale for 60% off.

Thanks for reading!

happy....(extremely late)...new year!

Hello!

I haven't posted in almost a month. Am I sorry? Eh, yes and no. =] It was really great to have some time off during the crazy holiday season.

Well, it's the new year and I'm sure it will be a great one creationwise. I have lots of schemes cooking up in my head and I'm totally ready to put them to the test.

Some things to look out for this year from incognita. : new jewelry lines, a wider selection of greeting cards, some candles (hopefully), just in general a few more eccentric items and (hopefully!) a new store name. Remember, I'll also be having lots of sales and contests, so keep checking back here!

Some other things to look for in 2011: craft shows incognita. attends (I'll posts lists for everyone here) and a possible "collaboration" shop.

Keep checking back here for updates and have a wonderful new year!

Thanks for reading!
