A New Name


I finally did it... I came up with a name for my etsy shop! I have to admit, it was not my first choice. Or my second and so on for that matter. Gypsy Soul would have been my first choice. I can't believe how many shops there are on etsy just with the word gypsy in their name! And I certainly didn't want something hokey like Kerry's Kreations. Lol. But I like the name I came up with. Even if it is the name of a book I've never read. But it suits me, as my hubby would say. Picture me in a sundress, barefoot in my garden, picking daisies for the kitchen table. Yup! And of course the things I make tend to evoke that playful summer style. So yeah, I like it!

The logo banner took me hours to make. First I had to find the right pictures to use. I think Holly Hobbie and vintage wallpaper fit perfectly. Then I had to figure out my new art software. I have ArtWeaver, which is great, but my Dad had recommended Gimp. I downloaded it a couple months ago and figured this was the perfect chance to try it out. It's a lot like ArtWeaver but has a lot more to it. Which means a lot more to figure out. I don't think I did too bad for my first attempt. You can download it at Gimp.org

And if you haven't checked it out yet, visit my shop at Pockets Of Wildflowers
