I'm baaaaaaaack!

Hello! I have been MIA! Not just on this blog but in my real life! I just got back from a 6 week stint in the black mountains. I was working at a summer camp up there an honestly it's one of the most beautiful places. But now I'm back! Back to work....back to paying bills...

What was really exciting this summer was that while I was there and sold a few things. For the first time in my life I had 4 orders going on at the same which is great. But I'm still trying to figure out how to balance it all. All in all it's pretty exciting!

What's in the works now? I'm finishing up some custom orders and then photographing them to see of they would sell and then hopefully start making some new stuff. I have a great idea for a cloche and maybe peacocks...Can't wait to show you all!

Contest Winner!

First let me apologize for my extreme tardiness! I am working at a summer camp in North Carolina and we only recently got wireless! This camp is a real fan of simplicity which I am normally a fan of, but can make things a wee bit difficult. I am happy to announce... Katarzyna! I will contact you soon! Thanks everyone for playing!

Frogs

So the Create Crochet team is having a frog-a-thon. Meaning this week we will try and finish up all of the projects that we have started but have not finished. I'm posting my before pictures but I don't have a great deal of faith that I will finish considering most of my projects are massive but we shall see.

A set of earrings for a friend.

A ladybug baby sleeping sack

A cell phone case

A blanket that will probably be ripped out and look totally different

A cotton Groccery bag.

I have a lot of work to do!

Custom Scarf

I sold another custom item Saturday! Very exciting. The wife of the family I’ve been babysitting for 5 years is one of my biggest fans after my parents. I made her a really pretty caplet out of mohair that she loved the color and feel of so she requested a scarf in the same color and material. My friend Dan has a fancy new camera and came with her nephew to take pictures. She also has an etsy page, check out Dinhnydan. She makes hand-made cards among other things that are simply divine! Check out her blog for the other stuff she makes, http://dandannoodle.blogspot.com/ .


Alight here are the pictures of the scarf I made. Also we re-shot some of my other stuff so check out my etsy page in a bit for those pictures!

That's her nephew in the background :)

New Stuff on Etsy

I am a very bad person and have not been keeping up with this blog! Blame it on the so-called part-time job! Bah...I need to quiit and get on with life. BUT in the mean time, I have made some thing. It it a hat and scraf combo made from my favorite yarn, Lamb's Pride. For some reason with this stich, everything comes out too big! I need to figure that out because I had to buy extra yarn for this project, when, if I had made a guage, I probably would have been fine. So let this be a lesson to everyone, use the guage! With out further ado:

Right now I am currently working on a mohair scarf for the woman I babysit for and hopefully perfecting my hodge-podge look.
