A custom needle roll set - trade for some yummy yarn! I will have to get pictures of the yarn up soon. This lucky lady actually ended up with 2 double-pointed needle rolls instead of one...yup I made a mistake when making the first roll. I was looking at the measurements in my notebook for the crochet hook roll instead of the dp needle roll. So I made a second roll that will really fit dp needles....and then decided to make a matching zip pouch for her too!

A sampling of a few of the wonderful listings:

HC Winter Blues

How fun - Hyena Cart is running their "Winter Blues" Giveaway again!! This is such a fun thing - anyone with a shop on Hyena Cart can offer a giveaway for the week of February 8th. Place a question in the middle of an exsisting thread or start a new thread - let everyone know what they will win and if the winner has to pay shipping or not. Then let the games begin!!

I've made 6 zip pouches for the give away week. Gave away the first one this morning. I plan on giving one away each day this week. If you have not joined the forums at HC now is a great time to do so! You just might win a prize!!

Refresh and Renew!

That is the theme for Thursday's stocking at Alchemy!

New designs and old ones available this month. If anyone has a new E-Reader and wants to keep it safe, I've designed a nice padded sleeve to slip it into.



Using Heather Ross'es Mermaid fabric this sleeve will fit a Kindle, Nook, or other E-Reader that is less than 9.25" long and 7" wide. Slips right in with or with out a cover.
Wonderful modern ovals in bright pinks, oranges, greens and yellow make this sleeve pop! Fully padded with snap closure. There is padding between the snap base and the interior of the sleeve so there is nothing to scratch you E-Reader.


The "Molly" Purse has been redesigned for the new year! This is a wonderful envelope style purse that will fit all the essentials. Strap is removable so you can easily slip this purse in a briefcase, diaper bag, or knitting bag.

Alchemy goes Gold!

So I'm going to give Congo life a shot. I was asked to join Alchemy a Congo on Hyena Cart. My first stocking will be over the Thanksgiving Day weekend. I will be stocking items from Thursday through Monday the 30th. Alchemy's theme for the stocking event is "Gold".


I'm offering this great purse as a FFS drawing. It is a new design that I've been working on for a while.

It is not perfect....a couple little sewing errors - but it is definately usable!

It measures about 8.5" x 8.5" and has a zip closure with a flap over that. There is small pocket with a zipper closure on the interior of the purse. The strap is detachable and adjustable.





A few other offerings through the weekend include a knitting project bag, a purse and a couple of clutches.

I just spent part of the weekend taking photos of my yarn stash and uploading to Ravelry.

I think I only got halfway through....yup I still have more in the closet to get photographed and details loaded!

The big push is that I have 6 custom hats to knit in the next few months! I needed to find out what I have and which colors/weights I can use for the Hudson Hats(tm).

This is a custom Hudson Hat(tm) that I just finished!


Here is a shorter version that looks more pixieish:

New Purse

This was fun. I decided to design a new purse for the Spring. I wanted something small and "cute" - so I came up with this little envelope type purse. The strap is slightly padded and hangs down approximately 15" from your shoulder. The bag itself, is 10" wide and 6" tall. It is 2" deep at the bottom but with it snapped it is probably closer to 1" deep at the top. One snap closure and a interior pocket across the back of the purse are the other details.

It makes a nice little purse to throw your wallet in and carry around for a day of shopping! In different fabrics or colors it would make a nice little evening purse. I think this one could be pretty versatile!!
