Calling all writers and “wish-to-be” writers to The Word Cellar. Would you like gentle, useful feedback on your writing? What about personalized creative coaching? Let me (Jenna McGuiggan) be a supportive and honest guide along your writing journey. Here's how it works: You'll email me your work, I'll review it and then send you written comments on what's working, what could be improved, and suggestions on how to move forward. As your writing coach, I'll help you to follow your dreams and find creative clarity by asking questions, listening, and recommending books, resources, and creative practices. We'll meet via phone or Skype and can discuss anything related to writing or creativity. I'll serve as your sounding board, cheerleader, nurturer, and brainstorming partner. Whether you need one session or ongoing monthly support, let me know how I can help – and I'll design a custom package just for you and your writing wishes. Learn more or contact me.

11 Things You Must Know Before You Can Make Your Ideas
Actually Happen
Hi, I’m Jenny Shih. I work with right-brained, solo entrepreneurs who have world-changing ideas that they need to get out into the world. My clients come to me spinning, stagnant, or confused about their business. There’s lots going on in their head but not much is actually happening. They’re looking to get moving on their ideas and make things happen in their business. They want to get clear, set a strategy, and know that they can do great things in their business. We plan, we scheme, and we make stuff happen. Then, the magic starts to happen...
Nothing should stop you if you want to change the world.

Helloooo! My name is Gussy, and I sew ruffles and share my adventures of having a handmade biz on my blog. I live in Minneapolis with my husband Zack and puppy Bauer. I had never dreamt of being a small biz/indie biz owner, but clearly this is my passion. I love that I'm able to share my story of learning how to sew (which includes our story of unemployment), my story of an indie biz owner, and YOUR story of handmade goodness. Supporting other handmade shop owners is a true delight :]

Inside my shop you'll find colorful, ruffled accessories: tote, laptop and market tote bags, zipped pouches, make-up bags, wristlets, headbands -- even eReader cases. Visit my shop and check out or girlie, sassy products! xoxo

Happy Summer Solstice! And with the new season comes new pretties at the Gwynnie B Studio. Handcrafted pewter gifts and whimsical plaster bowls have been making their debut with flying colors!! Each pewter piece was sculpted by me and then cast in lead-free pewter with a gorgeous luster finish. The bowls are too cute and will happily hold all of your fabulous treasures and groovy little trinkets! Please stop by my shop to check things out and please be sure to also stop by my Beautiful heART blog for studio musings and all things pretty.

Creating meaningful vintage assemblage jewelry with heirloom quality and a unique French flair is what my work is all about. I often use antique rosaries and religious medallions, mid-century French rhinestones, lacy filigree, lovely vintage glass beads and authentic Art Nouveau elements. I love to create custom work if you have a particular color in mind for your wedding or special occasion jewelry. You may have seen me recently in Jewelry Affaire, Somerset Life, Artful Blogging or Bel Armoire Jewelry magazines where I’ve shared articles, projects and tips. Look for my projects and articles in the upcoming issues of Somerset Home and Jewelry Affaire!
