Brand New Items // Earbud Cases

It's a brand new item and it was a brand new idea for me! I absolutely love it when you have an idea in your head and it comes out just like you imagined! That's the way it was for these earbud case! There are so many uses for them too! Lunch money pouches for school, coin purse, memory card case, the list could go on! The keychain ring makes the pouch able to be hooked onto your backpack, purse, or keychain. 

Right now I only have these two colors. But be on the lookout for more!

What would you use these for?

What colors would you like to see?

Would you attach it to your keys or a backpack?

Crochet Banner // Branching Out

I know, I know... I am finally posting something!! It's been to long since I posted anything. But I felt like nobody would want to see pics of pendants over and over...for one, I hate blogs that are repetitive and try my hardest not to be. Though I don't think I succeed all the time. But I shall succeed today!! ;) If you haven't figured it out already, I love to try and make new things. And as such it reflects into my Etsy life. :P So, without further ado, I want to say that I am going to be branching out and trying/making new things! Stay tuned to see what comes in the near future. Now onto what I want to share with you. It's a fun little something I made about a month ago. It's kinda late for the holiday it's made for, but I want you to see it anyway. ;) SEE! >>>> :)

Red, white, and blue! This could be used for the upcoming holiday: Labor Day! Even if it was made for the fourth of July. :P
I am really excited at how cute this turned out! It's so much cuter and fun in person then the photo's show! Which is somewhat a bummer since you cannot get the full effect. There are so many good ideas when it comes to banners and what you can use them for. This would make such a cute photo prop to hold or put in the background. This banner is about 7 ft long and made from 100% cotton. I love cotton! Why? because it stays nice and neat looking and doesn't get fuzzy like acrylic yarns!

What color combos would you like to see?

What would you use a banner for?

What length would you like best?

Well. Life has been busy for my family. We just finished moving this past weekend and so I have just now been able to open my shop back up. Because of the new year, I was trying to think of a something new I could put in my shop. My thoughts include, #Soap #Cozies, holiday garlands, and I have tossed around the idea of baby booties. I would love to know what you think I should make! What would you be interested in? Feel free to suggest! If you can, I would love to see a picture of your thoughts. (If you can). ;)

New Colors!

Christmas Colors!!! :) I can't believe it's already time to think about the gifts you'll be giving out this year! I mean, we just had Christmas last week.... :| Oh wait... that was, 1, 2, 3, 10 months ago! Wow, doesn't time fly?! This Christmas help out your local businesses and the UnChina Made stores.

It's an idea. ;)

I thought I would make the traditional Christmas Colors to start  with. The Red, the green, and the white. These colors make me think of Christ. The Red is his blood, the Green is the tree he died on, and the white represents his purity, His sinless being. His perfect being. Let us all remember to keep Christ in  CHRISTmas. :)

I would love to know what your favorite Christmas colors are? What is your favorite Christmas tradition?

Crocheted Scrubbies - my own pattern!

I  began Crocheting almost 9 years ago. I was ten, and had received a hook and some yarn from a friend. Upon receiving this gift, I immediately began. My friend Elisabeth, taught me how to chain and single crochet. After that, I began to teach  myself through crochet books, and also some guidance from my Mother. A few years later, a very dear, elderly lady helped me expand my crocheting abilities. She corrected me on some things I was doing at the time. Like holding my needle incorrectly. ;-) Over the years, I have made several things. But mostly for my own satisfaction. Now, I would like to share with you the things I make. 

I'm not sure what gave me the idea for these scrubbies...It could have been the fact that I was needing one, and didn't know when I would be able to get one from town. No matter, I am only glad that the idea came to me and that I am able to share with you one of the simplest things in life. The enjoyment of having a new 100% cotton, fresh smelling, handmade scrubby! :D

Thanks for Visiting!
