Meet "Calla"!

Ooooohh…..pretty. pretty. pretty.I love her! I have been sifting through the creative “floaters” drifting around in my head lately for something “Springy” or “Summery” to create for the shop.

Driving in style…

These are smart, chic and vintage inspired.Crocheted ladies driving gloves.

They make me feel like wrapping my hair up in a pretty, soft scarf and jumping into an old motor car for a windy Spring drive with the top down.

the fine art (misery) of pattern writing…

UPDATE:The Romantic Fingerless Glove Pattern is now available in my etsy shop!!!YAY!!!

I’ve jotted, scribbled, written, scratched, noted and painfully re-written this pattern to death.To the point where I could care less if I ever write another pattern again in my entire life.

But at the same time, there’s something satisfying and liberating about [...]

testing, 1, 2, 3…

Wanted:Bored housewives, stressed out moms or Crocheters in need of therapy and a new, fun, free project.

I’ve decided to sit down and write out a formal pattern for my fingerless gloves. I’ve searched Etsy and no one makes gloves like these. (with the ruffled edging and buttoned strap.)

I’ve made a pair using [...]

this shoppe has saled…

hello, all! I’ve had my nose heavily buried in my computer screen all day, busily sale pricing just about everything in the shoppe. I just can’t bare seeing my “children” lie in wait without any prospects. they deserve better than that.

I’ve also added two new pair of fingerless gloves to the shoppe.

bring it on, winter…

it’s certainly chillier out there these days but not quite to the point where I don’t feel like I look ridiculous wearing my winter gloves.

last fall, I wore my vintage car coat that has 3/4 length sleeves and when I did wear gloves with it, I still had a patch on my wrists that [...]

etsy shop update today @ 10am PT!!

I finally finished the small list of unfinished projects that were taunting me from my sewing room.it doesn’t help matters when the sewing room is “on the way” to the laundry room. so, I get struck with that feeling of guilt every time I pass by.

I’m adding some crocheted items to the shop as [...]
