Hi,
I'm just back from a little trip to Seattle for a wedding. It was a great time and I'm just now easing back into the week. The time difference got me this morning, I'm usually like to get up really early.
I am so happy to be guest blogging this week on Design Sponge. I will be doing a DIY project each day this week, trying to use up all the bits and scraps I've been saving and can't bear to throw away. Check it out!
Just a note to let you know I've updated my Etsy shop with necklaces and some fabric flower hairclips. Check it out!
I have been crocheting many necklaces trying to get them updated in the shop this week. I'm hoping for tomorrow. I've made all different lengths and colorways. It's fun making up the tiny doily patterns.
Well the new Lines and Shapes is out and I'm happy to announce I am contributor this time. The theme is Thread, which is right up my alley as you can imagine. If you aren't familiar with the book series, you can read about it here. It's quite inspiring to see how different artists approach the same theme. Thanks to Lena and Mav for asking me to participate!
Hi,
I have updated my Etsy shop with several different items today. Please stop by and take a look!
It's stopped raining here in Brooklyn so I think I'll take the opportunity to get outside and run some errands. Might have to take a detour through the park too!
Thanks to everyone who came by this weekend and said hi at Renegade. The weather was great and it was a lot of fun. This year I shared my booth with my friend Kylie Fife, check out her blog Jones Fife. She's been making great bracelets and earrings. I will be updating my Etsy shop this week with hairclips, one necklace, bracelets and a few framed granny square pieces. More info to come about the exact time of the update. I really appreciate the people who stop by and tell me how they like the blog, thanks!
Do you guys know about Habu Textiles? It's a Japanese yarn company here in NYC. If you live here or are ever in town it is definitely worth a visit. I always buy too much. It's so tempting because they have small amounts and leftovers which are not that expensive. I like to use little bits of different yarns for my granny squares or necklaces, bracelets, etc.
Here is a pic I took in the store with my phone.
I bought these small cones of thread specifically for necklaces....(oh, and I splurged on 1 yard of this hand woven linen too.)
Here are some necklaces ready to go for the sale this weekend.
And, just a random shot of my desk today.
If you follow this blog, you know I'm slightly obsessed with tiny crochet, especially granny squares. Today I decided to make a bigger scale granny square pillow. I made it just this morning, pretty quick when it's this big. I stitched it on a plain wool felt pillow cover. Purl did a great tutorial on how to make a granny square here.
