GNO Pictures

Last Friday I participated the GNO Benefit for Ronald McDonald House Charities. As you know, I have been preparing for it over the last couple of months.


Overall, it was a really fun experience. I met a lot of really nice women and got a lot of wonderful feedback about my jewelry. I also met a lot of other local business owners that I might end up working with in the future. I also made a few sales, but I think I was over-prepared as far as inventory goes. I have a lot of left over stock. 


I have already started to list in my Etsy Shop again. I have a lot of new Alice items to list (some already available) and tons of other cute jewelry, so check my Etsy Shop often for new items!


Here are a few photos from the event. It was indoor and the lighting isn't that great but I hope you enjoy them:

Me at the table. I don't know what I'm doing, but I promise I wasn't picking my nose! 

A photo of just some of the stock I brought to the show. People were really impressed 

with my Sweet Treats Charms!

A Giveaway for May will start next week and just run for one week this time. I have also added a rule that the winner must claim their prize within one week of the drawing or they will forfeit it to someone else. The last giveaway winner has yet to contact me with a mailing address and I hate for the necklace to go to waste!

A Look Into My Studio

Every week I try to devote at least one day to working in my studio and just being creative. I would love everyday to be studio day for me, but I am still in college full time working to get my degree in Entrepreneurial Studies. Lately though, I have been spending at least an hour in my studio 3 times a week to get ready for the GNO benefit in less than a month!


Last Friday I worked in about 3 hours of studio time just making my delicious polymer clay goodies. I snapped a few pictures when I was almost done just to show you all a little of the behind the scenes.

I use a ceramic tile to work on when I make my polymer clay jewelry. Here you can see some almost finished charms, raw clay, icings, a razor, and liquid clay and glaze. That day I made some waffles, ice cream cones, boba tea charms, and lots of cupcakes!

I think sometimes others do not understand how long it takes to create my tiny faux food jewelry. I put a lot of attention to detail and quality in my charms (not all charms and polymer clay food is created equal). A lot of my charms can take up to an hour each to make!

But I have to say that I have a huge passion for creating tiny charms that make remind me of my childhood and bring back the fun and whimsy of being a girl and always a child at heart.

Look out for an awesome giveaway coming up within the next week. It will be hosted here. 

I hope you enjoyed a little glimpse into the FFD studio!

Big Changes Planned for FFD

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about improving the FFD website. A few weeks ago I ran several poles on my DeviantArt account asking people their opinions about could be improved with the website to make it more customer friendly. Most people said more ways to pay and more variety. People also liked the idea of customizing their own Sweet Treats Jewelry.


I have decided that I want to completely overhaul the FFD website. I am going to change the site to a Yahoo Webstore, which would allow for improvements in all areas that people critiqued, including being able to pay with a credit card without using Paypal, better looking site, being able to use coupon codes in the shopping cart and more. There are also a lot of benefits for me. I would be able to easily track inventory, sales, discounts would not have to be done manually, easier listing of new products, and better organization and categories. It would also take me much less time to list new items, meaning..(drumroll please).. MORE VARIETY! The website will still be dedicated to my hand sculpted polymer clay sweet treats jewelry, but with a twist, which I am not going to reveal until closer to the unveiling of the new site. So you will just have to wait eagerly! I hope that by May the new website will be up and running.

There will also be a few changes coming to the FFD Etsy Shop. I have realized that my Alice in Wonderland collection is loved by many so I will therefore be dedicating my entire Etsy shop to this collection soon. This means a lot more variety within the Alice line and a cohesiveness to the shop. I will not be listing any more Edgy Feminine Jewelry so that I can really focus on and perfect the Alice line. Other than custom orders, any new items listed will be Alice in Wonderland related. I hope this is exciting news to all of the Alice fans out there! 

On another note, I'm still slowly but surely getting ready for the benefit/show I have at the end of April. I'm super excited and with each new item I make for the show I realize that it is getting closer. I will keep you all updated on my progress as the days go by. I hope you realize this is also the reason why there is less listing in my Etsy Shop and updating to the FFD website. Regular listing/updating will resume after April 30th. 


Well, I thank you all for your love and support, have a great Monday!

GNO Progress

As you all know, I have the Girl's Night Out event at the end of April. So when I got sick last week I was really sad because I have so much to do to get ready. I know the most important thing to do is make a lot of inventory for the show. I have about 50 pieces made so far and just wanted to share a few photos of the stock I have to update you on my progress. 

I have about 150 items left to make because my goal is to have at least 200 items by the day of the show. I will be updating you all over the next weeks as I get ready and make more stuff. Hope you enjoy it. <3

I've actually made a lot more since I took these pictures a few days ago, a lot more Alice in Wonderland stuff, so I'm sure I will have more photos for you soon!

Falling Down the Rabbit Hole

This weekend I went to the movies and watched the new Alice in Wonderland. I have to say that I really like it. I thought the characters were really well done. I just sort of wished it would have been more of the original story since I love that one so much. But despite that, I think that if you love Alice you should go see it! Anyway, if you did see the movie what did you think of it?

Now for some eye candy plus a small feature..

I discovered this Etsy shop, called The Poppy Tree,  a few weeks ago and love her alice themed art:

Blog Birthday!

Well, I finally decided to jump on the blog bandwagon! I've been thinking about doing this for a long time. I love to read blogs when I get the chance. I feel like they really allow people to connect. The only thing that has stopped me has been time.


Being a full time college student and business owner, I have a hard time trying to balance my time. In spite of this, I decided that I want to try to dedicate some of my time to sharing my business with the world, through inspirations, thoughts, and exclusive previews here. I hope to blog about 1-2 times per week. I know many people blog daily, but I'm going to tell you right now that that is not going to happen here. I hope you will still enjoy reading my blog and keeping up with Fatally Feminine Designs!


So today officially marks the birthday of Fatally Feminine Designs' Blog! Posts I'm planning for the future include features of other independent artists, items I love, monthly jewelry giveaways, previews of new products, promotions and sales, as well as works in process and a look into my studio. Hope you will come back and check it out!
