Killer Bee Designs
killer bee designs logo:

Naomi S. Adams, of Killer Bee Designs, has been sewing since she was quite small. She remembers sitting for hours under the dining room table with her sisters, surrounded by fabric scraps, making clothes for her doll. These works had a limited life span, as she would immediately rip them apart as soon as she created them in order to make something new. She began quilting in 1996 and wants to ROCK YOUR QUILTS! Need a skull quilt block pattern? You are in the right place with Killer Bee Designs. In the Killer Bee Designs shop you can also find reusable wine bottle carriers for carrying bottles in funky style, unique business card holders, purses, as well as original textile art and aceo's. Naomi's blog features her weekly journal quilt project, chronicling her journey as an art quilter. See it all here: http://killerbeedesigns.com .

Yankee Girl Designs
Yankee Girl Designs logo:

I'm a 20-something Children's Librarian (by day) and proud to admit that my hand up a puppet's butt is a beautiful thing. Seriously my puppet shows are Oscar worthy! I can leap the book stacks in a single bound. The dewey decimal system rocks my world and yes I do know where Waldo is! A few things I've said during a day of work: "Max Put Your Pants On, There Are No Naked Butts At Storytime!" "Hannah We Don't Lick The Books!" "No We Do Not Have Any Actual Photographs of Jesus, Ma'am" I've also uttered "On Your Booties Cuties" and "Shhhhh!" More times than I'd like to admit. Yankee Girl Designs started as a way to help me relax after a day of wrangling screaming meatloafs and it's evolved into so much more. I love working with beads and stones and ending up with something kick-ass to wear. Mixing and matching different stones has become a passion of mine. I'm hoping that this buisness really takes off, my dream is to be a Stay-At-Home-Mom to my own weasels, once my hubby and I breed :)

scrumdidlyump
scrumdidlyump logo:

I am a crazy lady with a kiln and a plan... WATCH OUT! Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, I studied art at a math and science school and math and science at an arts school. In college I studied abroad in Germany and Japan, where I fell in love with ceramics. Then, I had my son and fell in love with him too, which distracted me from the whole 'I want to be a self-sufficient artist' thing for awhile, but now after a couple of years working in the mental health field and doing AmeriCorps VISTA I have my very first studio. I run a daycare during the day to be at home with my son and make funKtional pottery at night and on weekends.
