Fortunate for Fortune Cookies

Starting a new year beings new challenges, deciding what to do, make, how to make the best out of the year.  

I refuse to make resolutions - they never seem to stick.  I prefer to make goals.  Some goals I have set for myself are:

1.  Be more diligent on making product.

2.  Spend a few hours a week on the shop. - working on photos, descriptions, and anything else that sticks out.

3.  Organize my work areas.  They need a desperate makeover.

4.  Publish a blog more often, increase my readership.

5.  Make more short term goals to benefit the business. 

I don't believe these goals are to hard to reach and are something I can easily integrate into my daily routine.   

So here's to a new year of positive things to come!

The Web at School

     The Web is at school this is the end of our 2nd week of classes and one of my classes is already talking mid-term. We are trying out products we made. The labtop bag is working great and I love it to pieces. Now we are talking about making headbands and bento box holders, we will keep you up to-date on those.
We hope everyone is enjoying the recent fall weather and we so hope that it sticks around. It has been great whil walking from class to class.
   I know the bun bun is working on more bags, and I am still working on a yoga bag. We hope to have photos for you soon. We are looking for some help. If you are a photographer and would like to add to your portfolio or a model looking to do the same we have product that we need better photos of, please contact us by email to
tangledwebstore@gmail.com please make the subject photos.
   Also on September 15th is the deadline to win the D20 dice bag we made on Role Play Universe Magazine so go enter in the contest to win it, before the deadline.http://www.wix.com/roleplayuniversezine/roleplayuniverse#!

The Web goes back to school part 2

School starts for us in around 10 days. Anxiously waiting my financial aid check so I can grumble about the price of books. In the mean time we are skimping and saving where ever we can and trying to show our school spirit too.


Have you ever put your water bottle or coke bottle down so you had your hands free to get stuff out of your back pack or to check your phone. We make these drink holders to make it easier for you.

Also I have made pom pom spirit hats. A room mate of mine is going to Texas Wesleyan and I made her a hat to show off her school spirit this fall.

Also if you are a fan of another famous college in the DFW area you could buy this hat on our shop, or order one in your favorite school colors.

Hope you all have a great back to school.

The Raven Was Here

The Web goes back to school!

School starts for us in about 10 days. PANIC  While gathering supplies together and muttering a few choice words about the cost of books.  200 bucks for an accounting book - you  can't be serious.   grumble grumble!   We decided to make a few items instead of buying them.

First on the list is a laptop bag embroidered with a geisha.  She turned out so beautiful, the pictures really do not do her justice.  This bag is meant to hold a Dell Duo. After working all night and lots of caffeine it took us about 5 hours to complete.  

Hoping it fits since we didn't have it to take appropriate measurements. 

The next adventure was making a pencil case.  I have the embroidery design to make the bag, but has koi and waves on it.  This is perfect for Raven but not really my style so I threw caution to the wind and deleted some elements added some pirates, ninjas, and a zombie.  I was in geek heaven that it turned out so perfectly.  This design, and others, will later make an appearance in the Etsy shop in a few weeks.

I kinda feel sorry for the zombie.

I decided I wanted a fabric covered cork board.  I never care for the colors or fabric that comes on the ready made ones, so I went and made my own.  I am very happy with the results.  There were some mishaps with the glue gun, My finger still hurts after 2 hours, and need a longer piece of ribbon than what I started with.   The important thing is it's what I wanted. 

I will be making a tutorial soon on how I made it.
