Mr.Choi

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all safe in the snow, and I hope everyone is feeling well.
Sadly I haven't done any crafting since Sunday. My wisdom teeth have been bothering me the past two weeks, so I had the last of the removed yesterday
Needless to say I've been in a lot of discomfort since then. Now my neck has decided to stiffen and swell. So that's what I'm working with today.
However I would like to say, that I've had a very good ally in the war against pain. And his name is Mr.Choi. He is a aromatherapy rice doll I bought from Sarah of Bennyvilleon Etsy. Sarah and I were at the Craft show together in Glen ridge and I love her rice dolls. Not only are they cute. They make you feel good! Check her our at www.etsy.com/shop/bennyville and buy your own Mr.Choi. (By the way he's not a fox. He's a red panda.) :-)

Thanks for listening,

Niccole

There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart) (Remastered)

Hello Everyone! Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas From CoCo's Box!

Ok so for those of you who don't know me personally, know this, I LOVE MUSIC. Music is a very important part of production over here at CoCo's Box. Today I found an 80s Classic I used to sing when I was 7...and well I'm still singing it today. :-)

Thanks For Listning,

Get it together!

Hello Everyone,

I hope your work day is going smoothly. It's a busy Monday and I'm up and about over here at CoCo's Box. Today I decided to organize my yarn. I'm working on my projects for the spring and need to get a clear look at what supplies I have so I don't waste any time or money at AC Moore buying what I may already have hidden in my studio.
After a trip to the 99cent store for zipper storage bags. I went through my big yarn bin and sorted, spun/wind, cut, untangled, and bagged, skein after skein of yarn. I sorted my yarn by color since I'm always looking for a specific color rather than a weight when I'm working. The picture above is the finished product. Actually I need more zip bags because I have more yarn than I though. lol I'm going to put it back in the bin now nice and neat, before Penny uses my bags for a place to nap. lol
Happy Crafting!

Business Reflection

Hello Everyone,

How are you? Happy Holidays! Things are going well over here at CoCo's Box. The holiday season was very good to me. I had nice sales at both of the craft shows I participated in this year. I'm already looking to the new year. I'm spending the last days of 2010 moving my holiday inventory to make room for all my spring goodies which I've already started working on. 

This year, look for birdies, flowers, bunnies, owls, and all sorts of happy "spring things". I've been busy keeping up with the Etsy Blog Storque, maintaining my shoppe, (I'm still working on my banner :/) And I joined a few Etsy teams. The Left Handed Ladies and Gents team. And I'll be looking to join the Jersey City Craft Mafia. After all I am in Jersey City. lol Well I've got to get back to work. I've got some downtime in between shows so if you want a commission piece email me with your requests @ broughton_n@yahoo.com. Happy Crafting!

Success!!

Hello Everyone,


I'd like to thank everyone who came out to see me this weekend at the 7th Annual Artisan Gift Market at the Glen Ridge Congregational Church. I had a great time, I was surround by happy fun vendors Laura,Anne, and Pam. I got some great bartered gifts from Sarah and Pattie.

The time went by quickly, I made new clients, sales were brisk,  and still got to work on new pieces during down time. (Awesome)

For those of you who don't know, I just started a new web page just for CoCo's box on Facebook. Along with my blog it will keep friends, family, and clients abreast on what's going on over here at CoCo's Box. If you haven't subscribed to my blog or my Fb page it's time to bust a move, and keep up with CoCo's Box.

Finally I would like to add that since I have downtime till the next show. I am doing commissions. I will start 1 for my sister this month and one for my mother in January. If you'd like to commission me for a CoCo Box cutie. E-mail me or contact me on Facebook. Thanks!

Product Day!

                             Lumps of coal for naughty little children.

Hello Everyone,


Today is a grand product day for me! It's the last day I have to actually make stuff before Saturdays show. Tomorrow I will be with Nancy and Friday I will be at the church to helping set up for the show. It seems that no matter how hard I work I always feel like I don't have enough inventory but then when I get to the show, everything is just right. Today I will be finishing my last snake and make 1-2 more lumps of coal and finalize my display so I can use the rest of today and tomorrow to purchase what I need. Happy crafting! See you Saturday!

Thanks for Listening,

Niccole xo
