This week has been a bit crazy so far. As everyone knows, school started!! Ok so I'm not that excited about it... I hadn't planned on taking classes this semester but well I am anyways. Despite may lack of time management skills, I'm still getting a few things accomplished while getting back in the groove. Luckily I am only on campus two days a week so that helps! Also, taking "fun", i.e. subjects I'm actually interested in, classes helps too...

Last week I started add in the few crochet projects I've finished on Etsy. As of right now, I listed baby booties, mug cozies, a fruit cozy, and a scarf. Yes I do plan to add more items and a much wider variety of colors so keep checking for all those! I absolutely love the baby booties and I offer two styles as of right now, one with ribbon and one in a Mary Jane style. Here is the ribbon version:

 

I've also added several mug cozies in various cotton yarns and a personalized option:


 

This week in between classes and homework I've been working on yoga mat bags and totes. The yoga mat bags are going to be offered first to a local store to see if they'd like to carry them on consignment. If they do, that's awesome and if not, expect to see a whole boat load of them by Monday on Etsy! Either way more will be added to my Etsy eventually! I just love the fabrics!


And my favorite new items are the totes I've been working on! They're perfect as craft bags, book bags, shopping bags, or even gym bags. They're a great size and shape. Hopefully I will have them up on my Etsy between Friday and Monday. Or at least a few of the ones I have planned. Here's one version:

 

Of course as with everything else I create, I'm happy to take custom orders. The best way to place one is in my Etsy store, just click on the "Request custom item" link on the left hand side and state what you'd like created!

New Crochet Wear...

This weekend isn't offer ing much in the way of a break but for me, that's just fine! My current obsession with crocheting is taking me down some pretty cute paths. I'm creating a lovely flower cowl scarf, which will hopefully be up in the store Monday, and possibly some baby booties. Also in the works are more mug and fruit cozies. I am having so much fun creating new things, I'm thinking of trying a banana cozy! I've seen them before but I'd like to try my own version. So stay tuned for photos and check out my Etsy store for the new products!
