Working Hard?

Welcome to Friday, everyone! The weekend is about to start, and I plan on churning out several new pieces. My lampwork beads that I mentioned in my last entry have arrived and they are all so cute! My other order of the glow in the dark beads should be here by tomorrow, hopefully.

As for today, I will be showing what I have posted since Wednesday!

Starting off, I have this cool little mushroom necklace:


There are a few reasons I love this necklace. First and foremost, it reminds me of Mario's power up mushroom! You know, the one that makes him bigger? I put dark blue hemp with this mushroom to coincide with Mario's colors.

AND, this necklace is very special because it GLOWS IN THE DARK! In the mushroom and the closure bead are little tiny pieces of glow in the dark frit. This means that when you expose this necklace's beads to light, it will glow in the dark!


Next up, is a listing I have renewed:
A large red macrame owl:


If you remember anything about the 70s then this guy will bring back memories! I made this out of 3 mm hemp that was originally a natural color. I dyed it, by hand, the lovely red you see here. I macrame'd him using this red hemp, sticks I found, and wooden beads. He's a great companion for your door or wall!


Yin & Yang/Dark & Light Dog Leash:


Hey, all you pet owners out there! This is a wonderful stylish leash for your dog or even a horse! Made with 2 mm hemp and brown and cream beads, this leash is 5 ft. long, perfect for walking your dog!


Green 1 UP Necklace:


This is like my first necklace, the Mario, but this one is green with green hemp. This necklace ALSO glows in the dark!


An orange hemp red heart necklace:


This necklace is so vibrant and full of energy! With its bright orange hemp and brilliant heart, it's sure to win your heart, too.


A pink heart necklace:


This is an interesting necklace because of the intricate swirls of gold glitter in the heart. It is made out of pink hemp and is very feminine and pretty.

My First Blog

Welcome to Infinity Designs TN's Blog! My name is Erin, and I'll be your blogger.

First off, let me explain what Infinity Designs TN is, in case you don't know.

I started doing macrame back in the summer of 2010. What started as a hobby and something to keep my mind busy, slowly worked itself into an entrepreneurial venture.

I learned from a friend how to make square knots, the basic foundation of macrame. I started making necklaces for friends and family for free, just because I liked it. As I became more experienced, I branched out into other knots and designs besides just jewelry.

As my knowledge grew, friends and family encouraged me to start selling my pieces. I started out selling locally in Middle Tennessee.

I had a good amount of success, but my profits were low because I was inexperienced with running a business. My friend and mentor, Josh, suggested I start selling on Etsy.com. Etsy was an up and coming website that we had heard of but had never explored. First, I started with eBay, however. Not very profitable again.

In August of 2011, I started my shop on Etsy. Since then till today, I have had:

4,203 views
326 favorited items
19 sales
29 admirers of my shop as a whole

Tremendous exposure! I am still a fledgling entrepreneur, but I have faith that I am doing good work because I can see it thanks to Etsy!

I love what I do and the fact that others do, too.

So, Infinity Designs TN is my shop on Etsy. I sell macrame designs and jewelry made of hemp. I will be featured in a blog on Sunday, April 29th. I'm so excited to be in this blog.

I've decided to start my own blog, and here it is. I hope to record something interesting that people might read, and connect to those who enjoy my work. It may be a little shaky at first, but bear with me. :)
