When it comes to crafting, I'm completely self-taught. However, when it comes to book learnin', I got my Bachelor’s in English Rhetoric & Composition at the University of Texas at Austin in 1998. Check out my web site to read more about me and my street cred.
I live and work in the vibrant Dallas community of Oak Cliff, Texas with my partner Jason, my cat George, and my dog Oliver, and my Little Peanut.
I love BINGO.

About me: Hiya! My name is Stephanie. Call me Stephanie.
I run Tefi Designs, a one-woman, Dallas-based craft and design studio specializing in original jewelry and accessories made with sterling silver, semi-precious gemstones, Czech glass, designer fabric, wool, and anything else I deem pretty.
I'm excited about working in the craft world, both as a maker and as a leader. I'm ambitious and motivated and a little manic where it counts. I'm the founder and team leader of Etsy Dallas, a local craft collective spanning the metroplex. We are inclusive and work to tap into the unique talent of our members.
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone interested in helping me pay off my mortgage.
Artists, designers, and crafters. You all inspire me. Handmade only please! I mean, that's the point, right? Otherwise my profile would be called "Made in China." But it's not. It's called "Tefi Designs."
Come check out Oak Cliff Earth Day THIS SUNDAY at Lake Cliff Park! Lots of cool stuff this year - a huge art show, local community groups and environmental organizations, children's activities, music, butterfly garden, food, friends, and fun! Hope to see you there sometime between 11-5!!
I will be selling my original handmade gemstone jewelry in addition to some new crafty items like hair clips, stitch markers, and funky magnets. Hope to see you there!
I was perusing your website, and I think it's so cool that you took pictures of the earrings hanging off of a Mason jar :) Hope all went well at the bazaar!
Craft Lab premieres Sept 25th on DIY Network!!! Check out crafts like airbrushing skateboards, dia de los muertos, fruit carving, bobble heads and more every week day 12:30pm Central.
Ok, so I totally have to go buy an all new wardrobe that goes with all the cool Tefi jewelry that I want to buy. The Phoenix one and the Moonlight one are absolutely gorgeous!
Your slideshows are looking good! I must admit, I got a little excited when I saw Oliver on there. For a moment, I imagined he was up for grabs! :o)
Keep the good stuff coming!
