New Item-Crochet Cowl



This crochet cowl featuring the colors charcoal grey and pea green is my new original design.

I wanted to use up some stash yarn plus ive been wanting to make a crochet cowl (if i had more yarn i woulda done it a lil bigger) and being able to design one really made my day!

All I did was crochet a chain long enough and did a "granny square" pattern throughout and changed colors every other row. I really like how this came out and it was super easy to do! With fall approaching in the next 2-3 months I thought this would be the perfect project!

Heartsy..last time!!

ok this is the 3rd time ive submitted to heartsy..this will be the LAST time , if i get denied again then this is it!! no more..and i swore to myself that i wouldnt work on my business today and look what im doing! i need a break lol..anyways heres the link for the heartsy.

New Items!





Here are some of the new items available in my shop.
First, heres a crochet headband. It will fit newborn to child size. Its pretty stretchy so it fits a wide range of sizes.


Here is a crochet hat with a flower. Its baby/newborn size. It's too small on my 2 1/2 year old's head.

My first original drawing is available! "Love Balloons" 8 x 10. Its signed and dated and labeled. It isn't framed though. Drawn with graphite on acid-free medium wt paper. More original hand drawn items like this to come! Im currently working on a drawing of a 72 Chevy pickup in graphite. I will be adding some colored works in the near future! Im currently awaiting my colored pencils to get here, just a few more days!

The red, white and blue woven/braided headband. The stripes were an accident. I had no idea how it was going to come out. I usually use 4 or 5 dif. colors when making these headbands but wanted to do something different this time. This will fit baby to children sizes.

New Photography Item. "Cowboy Boots" 8 x 10.


Hope you all enjoy the new items!

Brainstorming new products

So i got a TON of ribbon. I ordered alot when I decided to make some bows. Most of it is smaller 3/8" ribbon. So im doing a search and trying to get innovative with what to make out of the ribbon I do have. When I think of ribbon I think, bows and headbands. I still have quite a bit of alligator clips I could line but I dont want to line all of them.

We shall see what I end up using it on.
