2015-06-15T12:08:00.000-04:00

Aren't these just the cutest Snowmen you have ever seen? Believe it or not, these are made from painting burnt out old light bulbs! I have several drawers full of light bulbs to paint up more too! My apartment building just upgraded all of our lights to the new LED lights and were just going to throw away all of the old incandescent bulbs. :-O I saved them from the land fill and will be painting loads more...there are several different sizes of bulbs too.

Medium Painted Snowman Bulb $3 US

Small Painted Snowman Bulb $2 US

I only have these 2 sizes painted at the moment, but since there are 4 sizes of bulbs available, and except for size they are pretty much the same, I am putting up a listing of the 2 largest sizes as well.

Do you knit? How about some Bling for your knitting? These are unique Row Counters, you can also call them a Knitting Abacus. Slip the loop furthest from the large ring on your knitting needle for row 1, on row 2 slip it to the next big ring, continue moving up the chain for each row. When you get to the end...up to the large ring, slide the ring of beads over the bead right next to it...these are your 10 counters. Then start over with putting the counter on your needles at the first ring. Continuing this way, you can count 109 rows.

This is a Hood, or a Cowl if you prefer, crochet in the round. Laid flat, it measures 15" wide and 24" long. Wear it under the collar of your coat or wear it over, but wear it over your head to stay warm. Leave it open in front or tuck it around the front to keep your face warm too.

Bright "Duchess"

2015-06-14T10:28:00.000-04:00

I just LOVE this pattern by Marilee Rockley! This one is done in one of my Hand Dyed Threads (HDT) called Springtime which is a nice bright Spring green along with some yellow and a touch of light blue. The beads are a terrific match for the thread used. Necklace length is 21", including clasp. Earrings are made from a single repeat of the pattern used in the necklace and are 1-1/2" wide by 2" long (not including earring wire) Earrings have been stiffened to hold their shape nicely as they are larger than most of my earrings.

Duchess in Springtime HDT $20.00 USD

If you like this pattern as much as I do but would like to see it in a different color, just drop me a line and I'd be happy to make one up just for you in your color scheme/s

Tatted Bridal Garter

2015-06-14T10:26:00.000-04:00

Resizable Tatted Bridal Garter $30 US

This Tatted Bridal Garter is made to be sized to any needed size with a button hole, placed on the back inside of the Garter. The elastic is held with a safety pin, so it is easy to grab ahold of. To make the Garter smaller than it currently is, you just pull the elastic up to fit. You can stitch the new size, or just use a safety pin to hold it. If you need it larger than its current size, you just need to remove the elastic and add a piece sized for you. This Garter is made with over 1 yard of a very pretty silky Blanket Binding that I have added tatting on the bottom edge. The tatting is done in size 80 thread in a very pale variegated blue & white. The little rose is also tatted and the beads are glass pearl seed beads & Swarovski Bi-Cone beads. The Garter comes with a box to keep your keepsake in.

Downsizing......sigh
