darn knit {anyway}

I would like to thank the fabulous ladies of darn knit {anyway} for featuring me in their "Meet the Artist" section on their website.

I recently sent them some new items including coffee sleeves, magnets and the cutest little hairpins. If you are in the Stillwater, MN area, stop in and take a look.

I am so there

Last week my husband and I made our way to Ann Arbor, MI for his cousin's wedding. We made a quick stop in Madison to drop some of my items off at Anthology located at 218 State Street. It is an adorable shop filled to the gills with a variety of handmade items from several artists, and I am pleased to be one of them.

New Items for the Shop (Etsy that is)

I just finished two custom "Becky" style bags and it was on to some new stuff for my Etsy shop...

Patchwork magnets - sweet treats, dragonflies and odd little ducks.

Coffee / hot beverage sleeves make your drink a little hotter (visually) while keeping your hands a little cooler.

Big Cat!

Yeah! I finished my custom order for a matching clothespin bag and laundry bag. I have never made anything that large before, so I was pretty happy with the end result. (Those are my husband's legs in the photos - mine aren't that hairy).

A few people have asked me if I ever have a hard time letting go of the things I make and I say, "no, when they buy my favorites I am happy to know there are other people out there with the same taste as me." But now as I am getting ready to put this order in a box and send it on it's way, I almost want to keep him.

Oh well - I need to get that box taped up so I can move on to my next order...

Dainty Daisies

This morning I dropped off some wallets & mini wallets at Dainty Daisies in Oshkosh (WI). If you are in that area you really must stop in and peruse this adorable little shop filled with handmade one of a kind items!

New Stuff

I've been sewing up a storm in the last few weeks trying to get some new stuff together for my show last Saturday (as well as upcoming shows).

A couple of my new clothespin bags, Vince (upper) and Dubs (lower)

Some new wristlets - once again I cut out forty, but I only assembled what I knew I could get done for last Saturday's show. I do plan on getting the rest done by the end of August...ish.

Two of the five "Double Flap Snap" bags that I finished a couple of weeks ago.

And the winner is....

The Mixed Tape mini wallet goes to Allison!
