make something days sixty-two through sixty-four

The beanie alone took me two days to make, but it was worth it because I really like the outcome. It was kind of a lengthy project but now that I know what I'm doing I'll be able to make them a lot quicker. I'm still counting it for both Sunday and Monday because if I never took the time to finish anything I'd just be piling myself up with side projects. Oh yeah! I used my first tag for this beanie, I think it makes a pretty nice finishing touch. 

Today I made, a couple more bow pins. I wanted to make up a variety of colors so I could get some good pictures for my shop. So I did that and put the bows up for ten dollars each! Request a new color and help me expand my color options.

Beanie coming soon!

Sorry I haven't posted much recently, and anything that I have uploaded is shop related for the most part. This holiday season has been keeping me busy, and I haven't had much time for some of my hobbies. I hope to put more time into this come next year. AND! Since the world is now over,

^^^ everything in my shop is 20% off until 2013. ^^^

I wish you all a happy holidays and a cozy winter, happy solstice <3

Just in the middle of preparing for Black Friday.

I, personally never go shopping on Black Friday

because I can't stand the hoards of people going crazy over stuff they don't need.

However, nowadays all of that can be avoided because we have THE INTERNET!

And I believe that both the buyer and the seller can benefit

from having an excuse to mark down the prices and put on some sales.

So, to all of those awesome, amazing people buying handmade this year,

Black Friday will be the day to check out Etsy.

Thanks to them all shops having a sale will be covered.

I made sure to put a bunch of pre-made items out there for quick delivery.

What better time to knock some presents off of your list?

I'll be supporting handmade by shopping around all over Etsy next weekend, 

and by crafting my hands off and making trades to check everyone off of my Christmas list this year.

And heey crafters! 

Don't forget about those near you who may not have much to celebrate this year.

There are always local groups and organizations accepting donations for warm clothes, 

and you know how to make them! 

I'm sure those affected by Hurricane Sandy could use a little love too, 

so empty out your stockpiles of unused handmades and show your helping hand.

<3

What's new:

a variety of scarves

a few hats and beanies

a handful of headbands

and some mushrooms

Sale: Friday, November 23rd through Monday, November 26th

There are a couple of new, festive items in my shop as of this evening. I spent most of my day just trying to prepare the items to sell and I must say, sometimes the photography is harder than any other aspect of creating these listings. Most of the shots I took today went straight to the trash folder but I was able to pick out enough good ones for these hats. I try to keep it simple in order to come out with better results, and was the Freddy Krueger sweater too much? I think not ;) Here's a little blogworthy note: I found that sweater at the Goodwill for something like $3.00, 'tis the season so don't forget to check the men's sweater section on your next thrift store outing!

Santa Hats available in:

Classic Red and White &

Snowflake

Well, I'm off for the night. As much as I'd like to sit down and continue creating new designs, I think it's time to finish some long overdue projects. And, as much as I'd like to hibernate in my home for the next couple of months I must get some work done so I can get out and enjoy the holidays too. Until next time, xo neena noel
