Great News!!!!

Today I just found out that the CSPIA is holding off on the 3rd party testing for 1 year. This is great news for those of us in the hand made business. We can continue to sell and create our homemade products for children.
Please help us in our fight for home made by making you voice heard and by buying homemade!

Today is Ground Hogs day & as you may already know he has seen his shadow. That means 6 more weeks of winter. Here is the link to official site. http://www.groundhog.org/prediction/index.php
I was kind of hopeing for spring to come early so that we could get out of all this snow that we have. You never know He could be wrong and we could get spring early.

I hope that you have a great day!

New item

Here is the new line that I am going to be starting towards the end of February. I have just posted this one on my etsy shop and will be adding one more pair before I finish the new line.

They are a spring pair of slippers that have a very nice stretch and don't loose their shape. They are perfect for year round or when its spring.

Here in Ohio where I have tons of snow I can wear them but its still a bit to cold. I am still wearing my winter fuzzy ones. But I do love these ones and am so glad that they turned out so wonderfully.

Well I have to run have 2 more pairs to finish.

Have a great weekend and see you for Etsy Monday!

Better Late then never!

The post about nothing I guess!?

I have found a great place here on the net to fix your pics before you post them. I have already started to fix the ones on my site and man you should see how nice they look.

This is one of the new slippers I have made it is fuzzy and just like the one in my shop but not a Mary Jane style. My daughter calls them the closed toe style.

As you can see that this post is really about nothing in general but about every thing. I know I am confused to.

I had decided to write it this way since my week has been very busy with a custom order from a very generous repeat customer. I will be shipping her slippers on Monday. She is one of the Luck ones to get to have a pair of the new line that I am going to have out this spring (I will tell you more in weeks to come).

Well I have to get back to my orders and will have a new Post on My Etsy Favorites on Monday. See you then!

It's done!

This is Barron. He is a good model for my Puppy love doggy ear warmers. I mad these for the Beagle Team Janchallenge. There are so many beautiful pieces on there, plus not every thing is for the dogs.

I have a new pair of slippers made the are a fuzzy pair. They are the same materials as the Mary Janes. I am going to be posting these 2 pairs soon. Please check back to see what is posted and whats fresh.

Have a great weekend and stay warm!

Puppy Love

I am proud to say that I am part of the beagle team & clevelandteam on etsy.

Recently the beagle team started a challenge entitled puppy love. I am currently working on my challenge piece. I can how ever show you a work in progress pic of it with a little info about the piece.

This is the Puppy love ear warmers for dog. It is knitted on the looms as you can see.it is a variegated yarn with pinks, reds, white with black dots. It is sooooooo cute! I am going to be including a snow ball dog toy with it.

I haven't gone any where in a while due to all this snow! I love snow but enough is enough now. I have too much now. I can't go out to enjoy it.

I hope that every one is warm and safe this weekend. I have to run and finish my challenge so I can get Teli (my Beagle) to take pics with it.

Later!

Have a Great Day and Weekend!

Guess what?

Guess what? It is that time of year again when the kids go back to school, Christmas shopping begins (well for me it does), warm days turn into cooler ones and then that the S word starts (snow).

I have been so busy lately that I have hit a crafters block! It started when I purchased some new yarn and decided to make a hat or mitts with it. Well I have changed my mind so many times that I have no clue what to make any more.!? I did however find some thing to make. I have been in need of some very nice stitch markers for when I loom and crochet. I am going to make some beaded ones and like usual I will make too many then post them on Etsy.

I have given my self until the kids go back to school to figure out what I'm going to make for winter (school starts in 2 weeks). I have tons of yarn just need the ideas.

In crochet news I have made 3 sets of slippers. One for each of the kids and making a booty set for the baby as soon as I'm done with Joeys slipper (yes slipper I have finished one and have to attach the rest of the other).

In Loom News! There is not really any thing new other than the New Knifty Knitter adult hat loom is out. I have not personally tried it yet but I have drooled over it though. HeHeHeHe! It is just a bit bigger that the green loom and smaller that the yellow.

OMG! I just got an Idea!

Well I better get going to the paper and pen so I don't forget them.

Have a great Day!

P.S. I will have some pics of my ideas and winter items. Maybe even a pattern or too.
