New Things

I just wanted to show you all some new things that have made it into the shop, and things that will be making it into the shop soon ;)

This thick grey cabled slouch made its shop debut last week, I love the bright turquoise brim!

The lavender version of the lacy slouch appeared this week, along with the pattern

This yellow cabled bag made from vintage yarn and vintage fabric lining will be available next week :)

What's Been Happenin' Lately

I know I haven't been posting like I should, and to be honest, I don't get time to post till the evening these days and I figure that people don't read them if I post so late. Like its not worth it to post if you aren't going to post before noon. Is this true? Do you still read my posts even when they come later? Please tell me :)

But in the mean time, I really should tell you what I've been up to! I have SO many custom orders for the holidays, I've been doing loads of knitting and some dyeing too!

Here are some of the yarns I dyed this past weekend for custom orders:

This yellow one is my favorite (granted, I'm partial to yellow...) It is so gorgeous, so soft, subtle but happy :) It is being knit into a pair of custom elbow-length knucks as we speak. (Knucks are my word for fingerless mittens with a mitten flap)

This purpley-blueish-greenish yarn goes with a bright light green that I have yet to photograph, but they will be made into a pair of little girl's fingerless mitts and matching flower hat.

What have you been up to lately? Feel free to post links to blogs and photos :)

Oh! and don't forget our giveaway, it ends on Sunday night! The button is up there in the left hand corner, be on the look out for more, I would like to do them every Monday (and if you are interested, feel free to give me a note :))

We all know...

that I am a jacket lady. So let's just add these to my collection:

Trench coats always get me, someday I will live somewhere where it is appropriate to wear a trench coat :) From leasvintage

This purple plaid vintage babydoll coat from salvagelife is too cute for words

Lavender and Black Pouch, Quirky Heart

I added two new items to my shop yesterday, a custom order from a repeat customer (also a family member hehe, the best kind of buyer!) and a new pouch.

The pouch is knit from a combination of wool and superwash wool yarns, meaning that if you throw it in the washing machine in hot water it will only partially felt. I love the colors and the checkered pattern that they make together. This would be a perfect pouch for just about any small electronic device or for tissues or other randomness.

This is a poncho that my cousin requested; blue and green stripes with a dark blue heart in the middle. I think it turned out super cute :)

Crazy Purples, Helmets and Babies

So I finally have added a new item to my shop! It's been over a month since anything new has made its way to my shop, I've been super busy with custom orders, hats, knucks, scarves, slippers, etc. Its nice to finally have new things on Etsy too!

So here it is, the coolest, most neato torpedo purple scarf you've ever seen!

Also, coming soon to my shop (hopefully tomorrow or later this evening) I will be adding the finished set of these booties I talked about way back in this post and the matching beanie!

And here is one of the custom orders I recently finished, a helmet-style hat. The wearer is a bicyclist and wanted something that would keep his ears warm but not cover his eyes (he has a rather large dome-piece). So here is the finished creation, being modeled by my very super handsome boyfriend :)

Super Crazy Soft Purple and Black Scarf

A friend of mine approached me about making a custom scarf as a Christmas gift for one of her friends. She said "something purple-y and black" and here was the result:

It is SO soft and luxurious I almost don't want to give it to her, I just want to keep it for myself and use it as a pillow all day every day.

I've been working on some new things for my shop as well, so keep your eyes open for new arrivals :)
