New in the Shop ~ 11/30/11

Some pretty little dishcloths -




And a simple little cabled lady's cap -




In the meantime, I'm just finishing another Cabled Wrap Scarf and trying to psych myself up for a day of finishing work on the many dish cloths, scarves and earmuffs that I've made over the past few days. Strong coffee and streaming Netflix keep my needles humming. :)

Made this Week 10/24-10/30

All of these pieces would benefit massively from better (i.e. - not middle of the night) photography and a proper model, but in lieu of those things, here we have this past week's creations -


A Bulky Ribbed Wrap Scarf that will benefit greatly from blocking, the addition of a button and model. Made with a double strand of Mushishi wool/silk. I'm going to make one of these for my own self... eventually. :)




A couple of good old, trusty-dusty cotton dishcloths.




Three pair of kids size bike helmet earmuffs - two in Noro cotton/silk and one in Woodland wool/nettle fiber. I need to find a cutie pie to model these for me too!


Right now I'm working on yet another pair of bike helmet earmuffs in 100% baby llama in a soft violet color. I'm not quite sure yet what will be on deck after that.

Busy, busy! :)

Bazaar Season is Nigh!

And I'll be participating in two local Bazaars/Craft Fairs, both benefiting two of Olympia's best elementary schools.

The first is the Lincoln Winter Market on November 26th, 11am-4pm at Lincoln Elementary. (A beautiful poster by local artist Nikki McClure is in the works for this event. Will post when it's finalized!)

The second is at Roosevelt Elementary's Holiday Craft Bazaar on December 3rd, from 10am-2pm.

I'll have the ever-popular Bike Helmet Earmuffs in Adult and Kids sizes, scarves, hats, dishcloths and lots of other fun odds and ends. Please come out and see me and buy local to support our wonderful Olympia schools!

WooHoo!

I may not have sold anything crafty yet, but my Rudi's Bread-themed upcycled tote won me a little contest anyway! ;)

My bag won me a bag!

Now, to get crackin' on some goodies for sale... :)
