Who doesn't love candy? With Eye Candey, you're getting a lot of 'candey' -- from awesome crafty goodies to anything you can possibly conceive of being printed. I really love the funky feel that the candey shops have, and it's a ton of fun looking through them.

Some of the neatest things I found were these edible image cupcake toppers. My favorites were these paisley ones and rag doll ones:

I also found these cute little resin flowers pretty charming, from the crafty shop.

On top of all of the fun stuff and awesome printing services available from Eye Candey, you're also in for a treat on the blog. You'll find quirky and interesting commentary on equally quirky and interesting products, companies, news, and updates on what's new with Eye Candey -- including a new storefront! How cool is that?

dahlish is a newer member of the HAF family, and it's so nice to have another knitter/fiber person on board. She's an excellent knitter and loves to create items to share with others. You might be able to tell from her shop, but she's also a mom and has a focus on adorable items for kids.

Check out these charming dollies from her shop:

Many knitters spend a lot of time knitting for their families, friends, and customers, so I'm always interested to see what people create for themselves. I found these socks on her blog that are totally droolworthy and totally hers! Go dahlish.

I'm not really a 'group' person, and have always had a difficult time getting involved in interest groups. Awhile ago, I, for some reason, was motivated to join the HAF group, and I'm so glad I did!

I've always felt very welcomed and encouraged by the members and have never felt isolated from the cool kids, like I usually do in other groups. The chats, support, suggestions, and frank answers are a refreshing change and an invaluable resource.

If, as an artist, artisan, or crafter, you're looking for a new home with a multitude of strengths and interests, definitely check out the Handmade Artist Forum. It's a hub for discussions, advertising, community, and you can even put up a shop, if you so desire.
