This is my submission for the Etsy poster contest. It was a pleasure putting this together. I’m utterly amazed at the talent on Etsy!

Etsy created this tool to make posters (of other seller’s works) to be printed and handed out at craft fairs, etc. I followed Littleput Book’s lead and used it to highlight some of MY items. Have a look:

Beautiful Crochet Earrings

I just listed these crochet earrings in my shop. I found a wonderful new sterling silver hoop to use as a base and it really gives the earrings a presence.

On a side note: I still haven’t listed my bear or quilt. I can’t get a good picture of the two together, but have great shots separately. Maybe they just weren’t meant to be a pair.

Back to the earrings at hand:

Mini Quilt

As promised, here is the quilt that goes with the bear. What do you think? Leave me a message and let me know, please. I thought about listing the bear and quilt separately in my shop. W’ell see how the mood strikes me.

This quilt is approximately 13″x13″ and made from all new cotton.

A pretty preview

I hinted a while back that I was working on a little pretty and today I’d like to share her with you. Meet Gretchen, a happy little bear that loves naps. I’ve had Gretchen finished for a while, but her dress was another story. I drafted the pattern by hand and cut it out. And drafted it again and cut it out. And drafted it again. You get the picture. It’s still not exactly what I want, but Gretchen loves it and begged me not to change it. Who am I to tell her no? I’ll be listing Gretchen in my shop soon, but I have a decision to make. You see, I thought (as did Gretchen) that she should have a little quilt when she goes to her new home. So, I got out my recently increasing stash of fabrics and made one for her. It’s my very first quilt. It’s blue calico and natural linen patchwork with embroidery on it’s tiny corners. The problem is, I don’t feel like the quilt and Gretchen go together very well. I think she needs a quilt in different colors. So, for now, Gretchen makes her debut sans quilt, but never fear, once my company leaves this weekend, I will return to mini quilt making stealth mode. To be continued…
