Spring Craft Fair

My neighbor and I recently decided that we are going to do a Spring themed craft show together.  I am so excited - here are a few sneak peeks at the types of things I plan to make.  Everything has a spring / earthy feel to it.  Very fun.

Crocheted Newborn Baby Crocs (I love love love these).

Knitted Slipper (I am currently finishing up the second one).

Crocheted Animals

Jewelry (I liked the leather cord this necklace is on).

Book Thongs

My First Etsy Sale!!!

I am so excited - I just sold two necklaces on Etsy the other day - it was my first Etsy sale!!!

Here is also a necklace that I recently made - I love these Jasper pieces.

Jasper Necklace

I was at the bead store today and I found these really cool pieces of Jasper...  I added a 1/4 inch disc and pearl to this piece.  I love this necklace!  I made a bunch of other necklaces too but since they are Christmas gifts I don't want to post them yet...

Silhouette Ornaments

I finally finished the Silhouette ornaments that I was working on.  I love them and I'm very happy with how they turned out.

PS.  I am also in the progress of knitting a pair of arm warmers that have turned out to be a huge pain!  But I think I have learned everything I need to know now and hopefully I will finish them soon.

More Necklaces

I took a break from knitting tonight and worked on some more jewelry.

I love the way the circles looked on this necklace!

These necklaces are for two little girls for Christmas - I did the stamping in pink instead of black and hung them on ribbon instead of chain.  I think they are adorable...

Silhouette

When I was growing up my grandma had silhouettes of all of her kids cut out from black paper and framed.  I used to love them.  Earlier today on Etsy so I saw some of the same silhouettes and I thought to myself - if someone else can do it I can do it too!  So I made one of Chase.   The below one is a bit messy since it is just a template that I then cut out of paper but it gives you an idea.  I am going to cut some out of paper and make Christmas ornaments on square pieces of chip board.  I am pretty excited.

Baby Hat Disaster

This baby hat has been the biggest disaster ever!  I am trying to make one for a Christmas present but the first one I made was too small (see pictures below).  So I started to make another one just like it that is the right size and it got so messed up I had to start over.  Very frustrating!   I am determined to get it right though because it would be a great little gift.
