Michelle's Update!

I am working on so many things right now.. just finished another Shawl.. since it is a birthday gift.. I will put a picture up after the birthday.. I am also working on sachets for an order in white.. and finished one in white glitter with a blue ribbon.. picture of it here.. I would like to get some extras made in colors to show in my store. This way people can see the colors I have. I am working on those, orders and gifts at the same time.. so you can imagine how busy I am.. I already have a list of items to make between now and Christmas.. Hopefully will get them finished in time for everything!

These sachets are perfect little gifts

I make these heart sachets with Simply Soft yarn or glitter yarn.. and fill them with cotton balls which is great to hold the scent.. what makes these a nice gift is even after the scent is gone.. you can wash them and add your own scent, changing it seasonally. These are a perfect little gift for a teacher, babysitter, dog walker,friend, co-worker, etc. These sachets are 3 - 4 inches in width.. You get to pick your color and your hanger.. all mine are edged in white.. unless you request a custom order.. you cannot mix scents for this order.. as these need to be mailed separately.. if you wish to mix scents.. please request a custom order.. I have scented oils.. Lilac, Jasmine, Apples & Cinnamon, Ylang Ylang, Rose, Orange Blossom, Vanilla, Night Jamine, Sparkle & Shine, and Lavender, . You can also get plain cotton to add your own scent. I will email you to see what scents you want. You can order these on Bonanza using this link: https://www.bonanza.com/listings/Crocheted-Heart-Sachet-comes-in-10-scents/769985534 These are also nice for wedding or shower favors.. You can also order large custom orders of 20 or more using this link: https://www.bonanza.com/listings/20-Crocheted-Heart-Sachets-comes-in-10-scents/602028721

Michelle's Update

I know that I dont normally talk much.. but just an fyi.. I love crafting.. but my craft supplies are over taking the house.. lol. then recently I saw an ad on Facebook for free craft supplies.. he was just giving them away.. and the containers alone were worth the trip.. so my boyfriend and I went and got as much as we could fit in the car.. alot of it is things I do use or plan on using.. as well as many items already made.. so.. those I will keep.. but the others have to go.. so I will be putting them up on Listia, TraderKat, and eBay to clear out.. probably selling them for a low cost.. so keep watching here.. or follow my group on Facebook.. I put up ads every day for what I have on sale.. Not just craft supplies, but books, home items, baby clothing, adult winter wear.. etc..

Angel Heart Keychains

Just finished an order for Angel Heart Keychains.. saw these originally on Facebook.. and saved the pattern.. I think these are adorable.. I made some changes to these.. I used my sachet heart pattern and made it smaller.. added the wings in Sport weight baby yarn.. and filled them with dried lavender (as per what she wanted)..

This pattern can be found here..

Crochet/Knitting Meetup..

Earlier today I went to a local meetup held at DIY.. which of course is the place I have alot of my items for sale.. It was fun.. and while there I made a lavender sachet (needed an easy project as I cant follow a conversation and follow a pattern.. lol.

I also took some pictures and added them here.. We generally meet twice a month and we also have a facebook page.. if you are interested..

Christmas In July!!

I finished two Christmas Ornaments for my Listia auctions.. am pleased how they both came..

The first one is a puffy ornament.. I realized.. as I was making it.. it would also make a really nice sachet.. so I think I will sell this also on Etsy.. and you can order it there after August 1st.. you can have it filled with either dried Lavender, dried Peppermint leaves or filled with Cotton for $3.50.. if you want just an ornament.. you can order that for $3.  I have many buttons I can use for the front.. only one of this snowflake left though..

I made these last year also.. they are great for stuffing in cards.. also look really nice on a tree.. this is a red glitter and white.. I sold these last year for 5 for $7.50.. may do the same..not sure..

Finished the sweater - Day 7

I was so close to finishing that I didnt take a picture on Day 6.. probably because I was at a crochet/knitting meetup at Wegmans!  Here is the final picture.. I just love the way the white buttons look against the sweater.. I have to work off the loose threads.. but it is done.. now on to the hat!! But first I need to make two lavender sachets for Listia orders.. that is what I will be working on this afternoon.. they want two white ones..

Working on Listia orders..

I put alot of small crochet items up on Listia.. they seem to go well there.. things like sachets, cat toys, headbands and Christmas ornaments.. working on 3 sachets now.. smile.. These are made either with a glitter yarn or Simply Soft and the hanger can be either a ribbon or beads..
