Veggies

I desperately wish that I enjoyed fresh, raw veggies more than I do. O.o

Paddywacks: New Rings - Custom Stamping

Hello everyone!

It's been a busy week around here.  I've been all over the place try to round up various items for displays and new crafts.  In all the chaos I decided to try out a new type of jewelry on a whim and I'm pretty happy with the results!  My new hand stamped, customizable rings, bracelets, and pendants will be going up in the shop this week as quickly as I can get them up.  Right now, here are pictures of the ones I have made already.

Paddywacks: New Shawls and Hats

Hello everyone,

so sorry about the long wait.  I'm not sure what has happened to my motivation level lately aside from it being basically non-existent.  Anyways, after many tries I finally got some pictures that I really liked of my newest shawl and the hats I've been making.

What do you think?

Key Lime - Shawl
This shawl is made with cotton yarn that is oh-so-soft.  I picked it up for the colors and couldn't put it down because it felt so wonderful.  I have the same yarn in blues and oranges that I'll be making in the next couple of months.

In the meantime, a new design has kind of taken over my needles.  I've been told I should make these for about a year now and I finally got around to it.  They are mostly made from a wonderful yarn that is a blend of wool and silk, although some are just cotton.  I don't know what Meadow is made from because I've had that yarn for so long that I lost the tag and Berry Picking is made from an acrylic/wool blend. Anyway, check out these boho hats!
Indie Caravan
Berry Picking
Rain
Lemonade
Raspberry Lemonade
Sundrop
Meadow
Key Lime - Hat
The Key Lime hat and shawl match, they're both made from the same awesome cotton yarn and they look great together:


Have a great day!

P.S. What do you think of my new hair?
