Cats Meow Crochet Donation

 

I often use the funds I make on my sales as donations to small groups.. Every year this group has a fundraiser using a quilt raffle.. I just donate and if I win.. they give my quilt to some senior.. 

Dear Family & Friends, We are excited to announce our 4th annual quilt raffle. Here is an opportunity to win this beautiful throw quilt while supporting Prayers With Every Note. Every dollar donated goes to sending cards to seniors in nursing homes and shut-ins. So many times, these precious seniors are forgotten. Our mission is uplifting seniors one note at a time. As most of you know, Prayers With Every Note sends notes and cards to senior citizens all over the United States. We are hoping to send to many more! Currently, we’re trying to raise money to help with postage and supplies. This year, we are raffling off another beautiful throw quilt donated by Joan Thornbury. It is named Streaks of Light. Raffle tickets are $1.00 each. For each dollar donation, you will be entered into the drawing for this quilt! The drawing will be August 15th. You do not have to be present to win. If you are not interested in winning the quilt and just want to donate. We will put ,"Donate" on the ticket and if drawn we will give it to a senior in a nursing home or shut in. Thank you for your support. You can send the money via Venmo or Cash App. We also accept checks. Below are the addresses to pay: Checks: Wendy Crump 1303 N.

I am working on tons of stuff.. many custom orders as well as hanging towels for my store.. here is one order I just finished and delivered.. two sets of Patriotic hanging towels.. these are great for Memorial Day, Flag Day and Fourth of July.. I have more in my store and more coming..

 

Balloon Lamp Cover

I was asked to make this.. and I thought it came out pretty nice.. she not only liked it, but made another order for one larger.. She is gonna finish it off, adding the glue to "fix" the form.. I havent decided if I am putting this on my site yet.. is this an item anyone would be interested in?

I got the photos from the lady who made the order.. so am showing them off.. this also will be going into my store... just in case anyone wants it..

Prices will be going up on my towels.. please read.

 

I am literally not making much money.. in some cases I am almost breaking even.. the prices for towels and buttons keep going up.. luckily I have tons of yarn so that isnt a problem currently for me.. so I decided to raise my towels already in the store to $3.75 each and any new towels added will be listed for $4 each.. These prices will take effect starting in April.. Any new towels added between now and April 1st will be listed for $3.75.. I hope you understand.. doesnt make sense to spend all this time making towels and not making hardly any money.. 

So if you want to order before April 1st.. to get the current prices.. great.. you can order either directly to me at catsmeowcrochet67@gmail.com or on Bonanza.. I will have special sales during the year to get towels, etc at a discount price.. as well as clearance items coming thru.. 

Another finally finished!!

I fell behind again. This weather and bouncing temperatures are driving my body crazy.. I got done with the cat towel order. Pictures attached.. On to a new kind of order.. I am making a dress for a desk goose.. lol.. this is a first for me.. Pictures when I finished.. and when the order is delivered.. she promised to send me pictures on her goose.

These towels have a St Patrick Day design.. my son called them D&D towels.. lol.. and he is right.. so that is what I will call them!

My Most Recent Completed Order

I was asked to make a matching kitchen set for an order.. I finished it and it is in the mail.. lol.. This was made with cotton yarn.. Unfortunately I dont have much left so I cant make another.. As I was using old yarn I had.. as well as towels and buttons I already had, I was able to charge her less.. I dont have much cotton yarn left.. to make sets like this.. so if ordered, I will need to charge more based on the yarn.. 

This pattern is a cross stitch design.. giving a great texture esp in dishclothes for washing dishes.. 

I have added close up photos for everyone to see.. 

She wanted sunflowers.. and I had these towels.. 

These are the potholders.. both sides showing.. they can be reversable.. 

And these are the dishclothes.. 

It was fun to do.. and I hope to make more eventually.. on to my next order.. lol..

Most the books I read go directly to TraderKat.. as it isnt worth putting them up on eBay anymore.. at least I can get points to use for other items..
