Cat and Dog Hanging Plastic Bag Holders

I made cat and dog plastic bag holders too.  the cat one sold before I could take pictures.. but here is the dog one.. they are similar.. but not exact.. This one is available for $10.. I will be putting this up on Etsy after Christmas..

Below is closeups of the saying. along with a closeup of the top.. the handle can be opened.. making it easier to hang anywhere you want.. this is prefect for storing plastic bags for your dog walks..

Hanging Plastic Bag Holders

My newest item in my store is plastic bag holders to store all those plastic bags you get at the store.. These have been a hit.. I got them sold within a matter of days.. smile.. have to say that made my day.. Here are some of the ones I made that are already sold:

COFFEE/CAPPUCCINO

I am not sure what happened to the full length picture.. it was sold really fast! Trying to see if I can get more of these towels to make again..

OWLS

I also made this Owl plastic bag holder.. this also sold fast.. I will try to get more of this towel too to make more.

Tomorrow I will have more plastic bag holders in pictures.. including one that is going up for sale on Etsy soon..

Still More Towels..

I have started my Winter Hanging Towels.. these ones are already sold.. smile.. but I have alot more.. grin.. making hanging towels are relaxing.. working on those mostly as the meds really make my brain feel like mush..

Tomorrows photos will be towels that are still available for sale..

A Year of Towels - Valentine's

Just finished the Valentine Towels for that order.. That emptied all my Valentine Towels.. really hope they have some nice ones for this coming year.. Seems harder and harder to find towels for hanging towels..

Working on Towels For An Order

I got 3 orders for A Year Of Holiday Towels.. been working on them.. I just finished Memorial Day/4th Of July towels. I also finished the Valentine Towels and Winter ones for sale.. pictures coming soon..

Thanksgiving Towels and My Update

I havent been here in a while.. limited on computer time as my back is acting up.. going to PT for it.. twice a week. and also have exercises I do daily.. did real damage this time.. not only a pinched nerve but also a problem with one of the discs in my back..so I have had to cut back on computer time. will try to get some done at least once a week or so.. gonna do a couple of entries tonight..

 These two are still available.

I have one left of these.

These are sold.

Plastic Bag Holder - Love Me, Love My Dog

As you can see these pictures didnt come as well as I wanted.. this is a really long bag.. 3 ft by 20 inches around.  On the bottom there is a cute saying "Love Me, Love My Dog".. this is perfect for the dog lover in your life.. you can use this to store plastic bags for picking up behind the dog.. 

This is the top of the bag.. it has a cute doggie button attached to the front and two dog bone buttons on either side.. one side has a button hole, so you can attach this to any hanger.. even closed loops.. I am selling this one for $10.. introductory price.. and all mine will be one of a kind.. as I only have one of each design.. I plan on making more of these before the holidays as they would make a nice gift.. 

EDITED 11/13: I just took a better picture.. 

Just finished these bunny slippers

Just finished these for an order.. too cute.. as you can see.. the facial features are sewn on.. perfect for little ones..

I also have made other items.. you will see pictures of those tomorrow..

Basketweave Potholders

Sorry I havent been here in a while.. have to take alot of breaks from the computer now.. as I have a pinched nerve in my left side of my back.. so that limits me sitting in chairs long.. sigh..

I just finished an order of Basketweave potholders.. this uses the same pattern I got for the basketweave dishclothes and then I added a solid back to it.. and edged it in two rows of single crochet.

Here are the pictures:

I now am working on some short orders that I got via Listia.. a baby headband, a catnip heart cat toy, and a lavender sachet.. pictures on those soon.. 

Craft store visit..

Last night, my friend, Diane and I went out shopping as I needed stuff for orders.. our first stop was The Christmas Tree Store.. hoping to find more Thanksgiving towels.. they had a few.. but the ones they had were too expensive.. so passed on them.. I did find some towels to use for Plastic Bag holders.. am hoping to start a couple next week..

Then we hit Joanne's.. they were having a yarn sale (25% off) plus an additional sale of 20% off your total order.. I got the yarn for my next two orders as well as 3D paint to use on the bottom of slippers so they grip the floor..

Then we went to Denny's.. for coffee.. happily.. they had pumpkin coffee.. and I also spurge and had pumpkin pancakes.. nice treat.  So in all.. it was a relaxing and successful evening.. Got home and just crocheted for a short while.. then hit the sack..

Final Halloween Towels..

Well. these are the last two sets of Halloween towels I will be making this year.  All my Halloween towels will be put directly on to Etsy today..  Time to switch to Thanksgiving and Christmas.. smile.. so yes, I am now taking orders for the Winter Holidays..

Currently I am working on an order for potholders using the basketweave dishcloth pattern.. I finished one.. and now am working on a second one.. I will have pictures tomorrow..

Sunday Update

Well.. this was a busy and stressful week for me.. alot of Dr appts.. and sick family members (including one of my favorite cats!)..still struggling to get things done.. it is hard when you just cant think..

I got a better picture of the Plastic Bag Holder that I made.. nice picture too. you can see how big it is.. it went over so well. that I will be making these for sale.. still deciding on a price.. this is made with a cotton dishtowel (though I also might use other kinds).. and edged in crochet for a hanger and a stretchy bottom to hold the bags in..

I currently am working on Potholders for an order.. this is using the pattern for the basketweave dishclothes. I will have pictures soon.. hopefully even as soon as Tuesday..

Update on my Orders..

This will be a regular now.. I will try to update my orders weekly.. either Saturday or Sunday.. I am working on Halloween Towels now.. This is one set I just finished that will be going up for sale.. Too cute.. love the cats.. the topper is black.. with a purple edging.. and it has a wooden purple stained button to match..

I also am working on potholders.. using the pattern from my Basketweave dishcloth pattern.. I hope to have pictures in the next day or so..

After that.. I will be starting a pair of rainbow slippers..

Plastic Bag Holder

One of my customers wanted a plastic bag holder to match her towels.. so I decided to try it.. heck.. why not.. smile.. came out pretty good.. much better than the pictures did.. I will get better pictures before I mail it.. lol.
