I’ve just posted two new pair of crochet earrings on Etsy.  Both are made on sterling silver hoops (as all earrings will be in the future).  Have a look at my store if you are interested.

I normally make my neice’s Christmas present every year.  Last year was the first time I actually bought her one.  I thought I could get away with it this year, too.  That was until I went home at Thanksgiving, toting the inventory from my Etsy shop.  She has placed an order for a bracelet, a necklace, earrings and a pink satin baby with a big ‘M’ embroidered on the front.  She’s not getting that doll, I’ll tell you that.  But one pair of her earrings are made.  She is in love with the color brown.  I have to say I agree.  She has excellent fashion sense, but then again, she’s my sister’s daughter.  Here is the first pair of earrings I have finished for her:

 

Well, Etsy launched the new website fondly dubbed V2.  Let me say it was not without it’s glitches, but they’re working to correct everything.  I really didn’t have too much of a problem, but that’s because I’ve stayed away from it all week!  One problem I do have is that it seems the flash stuff (sampler, treasury, etc.) doesn’t like my AT&T Yahoo browser.  Grrrrrrr.  I LIKE my browser and don’t want to use the new IE.  I’ve downloaded it and I guess I’ll just use it for Etsy.  Grrrrrr again.  Etsy’s new look is really sharp.  Take a look and while you’re at it, visit my store and buy something.

Speaking of buying something, here are two pair of crocheted earrings I’ve finished.  The two-toned ones were listed yesterday and I’m about to list the red ones today.

I’ve been bitten by the crochet bug…the amigurumi crochet bug to be exact.  I kept seeing this word on Etsy associated with tiny, precious crochet animals, so I went and did some research.  It means to make small animals…huh, who would have thought it?  All I know is there are a lot of people making them, and now I know why.  I LOVE them.  I am hooked.  Here are two little kitties I’ve made.  I’ve promised one to the Niece, but I may spiffy these up a bit and list them on Etsy.
