Mother's Day!

I can't believe that Spring is already here! I know that the birds are singing and for most of us we have our windows open to let the fresh air in.

Spring is also when we think about our flowers in the yarn, the gardens we are going to plant, and what we are going to get Mom for Mother's day. Then we have Father's day just around the corner.

I have found some goodies for Mom this Mother's day! All of these gifts are Hand made. You can find them on Etsy! I hope that you like them & I know I got some great ideas for my Mom!

This is perfect for the Mom (or Dad) that loves to cook or bake!

Our Beloved Beagle!

Today Is a very sad day> This afternoon my parents had to put our beloved beagle Sid down. She had been sick for a few days & Mom took her to work yesterday (she is a vet tech) along with today. She didn't get better and was getting sicker. My Mom made the heart breaking choice.

Sid is a great beagle. She was the queen of all the beagles in the house and was the protector of my kids. She is the best girl I could ever ask for!

Sid is the beagle next to the cage & Teli (her litter mate has his back to you).

In Sid's honor I am donating all the sales from my shop to go a do shelter in Chardon, Ohio. This starts today & ends April 26, 2009. Please pass the word along and purchase from my shop to help a dog in a shelter get what they need. www.creativecomforts07.etsy.com

Thank you!

New Item!

This has been a very nice week to sit outside while working. I just wish that I was able to get the computer out there (maybe then I would be able to blog more when I am out there! Oh well). I have made a few new items and will be adding them to the shop soon.

These are one of the newest items that I had already added. I will be adding more items soon so you have to check out the shop often to see what is fresh and new!

Now that spring is on it's way I am going to be adding more spring bags, slippers and ecofriendly items.

I have a new shop. I am on Artfire. I just mainly make sewn items there and may add a few crocheted or loom knitted items but this is mainly a sewing shop. I am just adding things as I go along. You will have to stop by and check it out often!

Well I am off to get the boys outside to play before it rains and gets colder!

Have a great day!

Update

I am so sorry that I have not posted in a long while! I have been so busy with my new spring collection on Etsy & a new shop on artfire.com that I didn't get a chance to post a thing.

I will be posting fabric creations on artfire and my crocheted & loom knitted items on etsy. I am still working on items for both shops and should have a few new things post on Fridays with updates weekly and a few other bits of info to.

Please stop my artfire shop and tell me what you think!

Have a great day!

New item!

Here is the new challenge piece that I am entering in the Etsy Beagle Team challenge The title is Beagles and blooms.

I will enter this spring slipper on the 2nd so stop by my shop and check it out. I will have new items also added then to.

I am looking on etsy for fresh new shop and I will be posting them here soon.

Have a great day!

Just for fun!

I got this in an email and thought that this would be something fun for today. It is one of those pictures you have to look really closely at to see what is inside. What do you see? How many are there?

This is another cool one. You can see 2 different things in this picture. What do you see? You have to look very closely!

I hope you enjoy these fun pictures for today!

Have a great day!

Don't forget to check my etsy shop for new items!

What a week!

This has been a very busy week for me. I know I have not been posting like I had been. I was sick and so was the baby. I am very sorry! Now that every one is healthy now. I am going to be back to normal posting.

I did take new pictures of my spring slippers and they are done and ready to be shipped. OK now all I need is a few sales. Here are a few of the new pics of the slippers that I have and I can custom make them in any color and size for you. I really enjoy making these slippers they were very fun to make.

I hope that you like the new line and stop by the shop to see the new items that are added! I have new items for the spring that will be added weekly and the new ecofriendly bags will be out by the end of this month.

Have a great day and Happy Valentines Day!

New Items!!!!!!

I have added 2 new items to my page and will be adding these marble stitch markers by tomorrow. I know that I usually add new items on Fridays but I was busy making them so I added them today.

In other news.

It has finally stopped snowing and have some sunlight (I hope that the pics I took of the new items in the shop look good). I looks like rain now but its better than when it snows here. I hope that the warm up stays for a while I have a few things I need to take pics of before the sun can hide again.

Well have to get back to work and making new slippers.

Have a great day and see you on Twitter!

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!

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!
