Hello, hello!

I’ve been thinking a lot about potentially looking into getting some booths again this year at markets! With that being said I need a little help from you guys 🩵

At my last market, I completely sold out of little dinosaur and octopus stuffies, and still had some of everything else I had brought with (tote bags, washcloths, popsicle holders, bandanas and some plastic bag holders- all pictured). With that being said- what are YOU as my customers interested in?! If you were walking past my booth, what types of things would really pull you in?? What types of things would you like to see me offer??

Please comment below and tag some new friends! I’m looking for all the information!

Thank you so much for your help! Looking forward to hearing what you have to say 💚

This ‘Tea With Granny Blanket’ was such a FUN make!!
With a little converting of UK to US terms, some color coding on my notes, and lots of counting, this was finally finished! If you all remember my caterpillar gift, this blanket was also gifted to the same friend. What can I say?! My too much gene really kicked it into high gear 🤣 It also gave me so much inspiration and so many ideas for my girls’ blankets!!

Pattern: Tea With Granny Blanket by Anita Gibney
Yarn used: Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK
Colors used:
💜 Dusty Lilac
🩷 Tea Rose
💛 Daffodil Yellow
🩶 Stormy Grey
🖤 Slate Grey

As always, thanks for looking! Thank you also for interacting and sharing my art! It means so much 🩵

“One Sunday morning the warm sun came up and -pop!- out of the egg came a tiny and very hungry caterpillar.”

And boy as we all know, did he eat! One apple, two pears, three plums, four strawberries, five oranges, one slice of chocolate cake, one ice cream cone, one pickle, one slice of swiss cheese, one slice of salami, one lollipop, one slice of cherry pie, one sausage, one cupcake, one slice of watermelon, AND one nice green leaf later… this “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” set was ready to be gifted 💚 I also made a caterpillar to “eat” and hold all the foods!

This gift was such a labor of love for one of my best friends as she is getting ready to step into the role of motherhood! I’m so beyond excited for her and her husband, and to meet their sweet babe!!

As always thank you for looking and supporting my posts 💚 it means more to me than you’ll ever know!!

If you’re interested in supporting the school by buying one or both of these bags, stop by April 17th and place a bid!!

As always, thanks for looking! 💙💛

Quick little story about this one for you today!

Grandma Jane came to stay in January and loved the blanket I had made for my in-laws. She had mentioned to my MIL how she would love something similar in red, white and blue. Yarn was ordered, and I finished this blanket quite quickly. Grandma Jane came and stayed over her birthday weekend and we gifted her the blanket. She was (and has been since) ecstatic to have her own blanket! It’s the perfect size for her to use in her recliner ❤️🤍💙

The squares are inverted of each other, joined with white, the edge has a blue scallop around the entire blanket. I’m so happy with how this turned out and with how happy Jane was with it!! ❤️🤍💙

First up! Blankets!

Both blankets for this listing are continuous granny square blankets.

🤍 The first in white and country blue measures 27”. This is the perfect size to gift to someone with a baby or to gift to someone with a baby on the way! Selling for $40

🧡 The second in orange, blue, grey and white measures 40”. This blanket would be a great lap blanket or a blanket for a younger child! Selling for $65 (this blanket is a flat square I just had to lay it on a snow drift for a nice bright picture and it definitely distorted the layout)

Comment “SOLD 🤍/🧡” in the comment section and I will send you a message to work out all the details!!

My first take at reverse appliqué AND hand embroidery!

This was definitely a fun experiment, but I think I’ll be doing just appliqué and machine embroidery for gifting and orders 😜 at least until I get a little more practice in!

I am so happy with how this turned out. I’m so excited to wear it because it is OH SO FITTING 🤣🤣

🎪 Don’t just fly, SOAR 🐘

I actually have never sat and watched Dumbo 🫣 so going into this blanket was kind of a shot in the dark. There was no scene or vision that popped into my head, immediately. Sooo, the internet came into play and I thought this would be perfect. Working images into crochet (in this size) can be a little tricky the more detailed it gets. Thankfully this was just enough so the small details of the original pictures translated beautifully. (His little smile is my favorite part 🥺)

So happy with how this blanket turned out! The boarder was kind of a spur of the moment design- but I’d say it turned out awfully cute!! And I did indeed get the pricing worked out for these-so another huge thanks to Lauren and LileAuna for taking me up on this offer!!!

As always, thanks for looking! My inbox and email are always open 💚

The first of two blankets from that steamin’ hot deal I offered up is done and ready to go! 🩵

I always love working with Lauren; she usually comes to me with the bones of an idea, and we collaborate and come up with some of the most fun makes I’ve shared! I so appreciate her and the amount of trust she has in me and my visions! 💙

Taking a break for a couple days to finish up some chair tags for my kiddos, then jumping into the second blanket! (Hint on what’s up next:🎪🐘) Be sure to check out my stories for real time updates if you’re interested in seeing what I’m up to 😉

As always, thanks for looking!! 💚
