HOW WE SAY "WELCOME" IN TOUKOU-LAND

I'M TRYING TO GET A HEAD START ON THE HOLIDAYS THIS YEAR. THEY ALWAYS SEEM TO SNEAK UP AND SUPRISE ME. I MADE A BASKET OF SLIPPERS TO PLACE BY THE FRONT DOOR, A BIT BACK, BUT THEY WERE DECIDEDLY GIRLY (FULL OF FLOWERS AND SUCH). I MADE THIS UNISEX BATCH TO PUT THERE INSTEAD. ITS JUST MORE MAN-FRIENDLY (I'M SURE THE LADY-FOLK WILL LIKE THEM TOO!!)

"HANDMADE" ITS THE NEW BLACK!!!!

We had a great weekend stocking our shop with new fall pieces, and meeting new faces that popped in. It's priceless in a big and sprawling place like nyc, to be able to meet my customers face to face, and hear how my crafts fit into and warm up their lives. It makes me feel so loved!!!! If you're ever in manhattan, i hope you'll swing by!
We're at 212 west 79th street in flat 1d. Hope to see you there!!!

GOODNIGHT GREEN

GOODNIGHT GREEN
YOU'RE FALLING AWAY
I HOPE THAT YOU'LL COME BACK NEXT MAY
AS THE FALL WINDS BLOW
KERMIT'S RIGHT IT SEEMS
"IT'S NOT EASY
BEING GREEN"

(NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY!!!)

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANES?

I'm so excited about the launch of my new site! Here are some goodies for the wee ones, that will be available.

SOMETHING PINK FOR MY MAIN MAN

My husband doesn't own anything pink, so i think that it's hight time for him to add a bold pop to his repertoire!

I whipped this up for him, using the chillmark scarf pattern. I think it will look amazing with his complexion! Heres to hoping he thinks so too!

AND THIS ONE'S FOR ME! "SELFISHNESS" IN PINK AND BLACK

I sold out of these, so sorry for now, but this one's for me. I'm working on some more, and i am also writing the pattern. Both will be available in the web store, and in my store in manhattan.

SWITCHUPABLES

I LOVE MAKING AND USING PATTERNS THAT CAN BE SWITCHED UP. I USED THE OVERSIZED TOTE PATTERN TO MAKE THIS BAG, AND I USED THE POPPIES GALORE AND FLEUR GALORE PATTERNS TO MAKE SWITCHABLE EMBELLISHMENTS. A LITTLE TRICK THAT I USE, IS TO SEW BUTTONS ON THE BACK OF THE EMBELLISHMENTS THAT I'M GOING TO USE ON CROCHET ITEMS. THEN, THE EMBELLISHMENT JUST BUTTONS ON AND OFF. SWEET!!!
