Orange and Silver Flames Dog Bone Dining Place Mat

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 18:34:06 -0500

$9.00
My dogs are such sloppy eaters I decided to create plush place mats for them. Friends and family have raved about them so I have created more for my shop.

Nice size for larger dog dish. Mat measures 17" long and 9" wide, at narrowest point.

Orange and silver flames on this dog bone dining place mat. Perfect for the biker or racing enthusiast. The flip side is solid black flannel. They are reversible. Sandwiched between the flannels I have sewn fleece fabric for added thickness. Heavy weight thread was used throughout.

Machine wash and dry. A hot iron gives them a crisp look.

The pattern may vary slightly from one mat to the next.

I love buttons, especially old buttons. I have tapped into my stash of white, clear, cream colored and mother-of-pearl buttons, and adorned this plush hanging heart.

The heart measures 6" across at widest point and is 4" long from top center of heart to tip. This is the smaller version of my shabby chic hearts, you'll find a larger version available in my shop.

Front of heart is made from muslin colored cotton twill. Back is floral print of delicate blue flowers. Heart is firmly stuffed with polyfil for fullness.

Heart is adorned with satin ribbon bow for hanging.

Each button is lovingly and securely hand stitched into place. I had a very pleasant time choosing each button, making sure it was just the right size and shape. You'll find many two hole buttons, many four hole buttons and several hear shaped buttons as well.

Wonderful gift for Grandmother, Mother, Aunt, Sister or friend for Mother's Day or a special birthday.

Key Bored by Alexander Henry Snacks On The Go Reusable Bag Qwerty

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 00:00:14 -0500

$6.00
Update, this particular bag does not have a MoonLightSally label sewn on. I had a buyer ask me to create them without the label so here it is!

I picked this fun print up at a thrift shop, just couldn't resist! At the time I wasn't sure what I would create with it. Notice the fly on the keyboard, I wouldn't want anyone to purchase this and then be surprised by the presence of an insect!! Kind of unique, don't you think???

Your basic computer keyboard, or "key bored" as the folks at Alexander Henry call it. Fun gift for coworker or handy for your snacks at work.

Each measure just over 6" square. All seams have been double stitched for durability.

Fun prints are carefully chosen from my quality, and ever growing, fabric stash to create my Snacks On The Go bags. The outside is a colorful print while the inner lining is a food safe nylon fabric. Velcro neatly stitched along the top edge, keeps snacks inside. Never boring and always cheerful these bags are a great alternative to disposable zipper type "sandwich" bags.

Easy to care for, simply wipe out inside with damp cloth. when the outside needs to be cleaned I wash mine in cold water and then spread them over a glass or mug and let them air dry.

Final photo shows some of the other Snacks On The Go Bags available.

Grandma's Twice As Nice Cotton Cloths In Lime Green and White

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 10:34:37 -0500

$10.00
I crochet these whenever I have a few spare minutes. Invariably, ladies stop and chat with me about them. Often they will ask if they are knit or crochet, they are crocheted, I tell them. 9 times out of 10 they will tell me that their Grandmother makes, or used to make them. Many times they tell me that their Grandma did, or was, going to teach them how to make them as well. Always, yes, always, they rave about how they "last forever" and are great for cleaning dishes.

Buyer will receive 2 handmade cloths. Refreshing lime green and white variegated cotton yarn. Pretty and feminine, a great addition to a bath and body gift basket or a useful stocking stuffer.

This pair of 100% cotton cloths are crocheted using 2 strands of yarn. This makes them even more thick, thirsty and durable. They each measure 8 1/2" square.

These also work fabulously well as facial cloths. The extra thickness makes them great for exfoliation. They are generously sized and can wash any size body!

Also can be used as cleaning cloths around the house or auto, they surely will last longer than most cloths available for purchase in the stores. Another big plus is that they are handmade, right here in America, no less!

Pair them with a superb handmade soap by any of the wonderful Etsy soap makers and you've got a thoughtful and appreciated gift.

These will last longest if they are washed in cool water and gently dried or hung to dry. I, personally, toss them in a warm washer and dryer but they shrink just a little.

The price is a little higher as they use twice as much yarn.

Lemon Meringue Pie Cotton Cloths

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 16:43:53 -0500

$10.00
I crochet these whenever I have a few spare minutes. Invariably, ladies stop and chat with me about them. Often they will ask if they are knit or crochet, they are crocheted, I tell them. 9 times out of 10 they will tell me that their Grandmother makes, or used to make them. Many times they tell me that their Grandma did, or was, going to teach them how to make them as well. Always, yes, always, they rave about how they "last forever" and are great for cleaning dishes.

Buyer will receive 2 handmade cloths. This pair features one cloth is a sunny yellow and one is a pretty variegated cotton yarn of white, golden, and pale yellow.

If you look in my shop you'll see that I have many colors available. I have crocheted and sold dozens of these over the years. What I am learning from my customers is that these are super handy in the kitchen. Since they are so thick, they work great as potholders as well as hot pads, and trivets. A handy and useful gift for the holiday season!

This pair of 100% cotton cloths are crocheted using 2 strands of yarn. This makes them even more thick, thirsty and durable. They each measure 8 1/2" square.

These also work fabulously well as facial cloths. The extra thickness makes them great for exfoliation. They are generously sized and can wash any size body!

Also can be used as cleaning cloths around the house or auto, they surely will last longer than most cloths available for purchase in the stores. Another big plus is that they are handmade, right here in America, no less!

Pair them with a superb handmade soap by any of the wonderful Etsy soap makers and you've got a thoughtful and appreciated gift.

These will last longest if they are washed in cool water and gently dried or hung to dry. I, personally, toss them in a warm washer and dryer but they shrink just a little.

I had a very pleasant time choosing each button, making sure it was just the right size and shape. You'll find many two hole buttons, many four hole buttons and several hear shaped buttons as well.

Wonderful gift for Grandmother, Mother, Aunt, Sister or friend for Mother's Day or a special birthday.

Thomas the Train Zip Pouch

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 20:42:11 -0500

$7.00
Fun Thomas the Train cotton print fabric featuring smiling trains strewn about! Background is a deep turquoise blue, trains logos are green, gray, red, yellow and blue. The zipper on this one is tomato red.

I carry a pouch like this in my purse, have one in my car and I always in my carry on while traveling. The lining is PUL, a waterproof fabric.

I admit to being a little obsessed with wet wipes, baby wipes, etc. and carrying them in one of these pouches is just more fun that those over sized containers you get at the store. Here's an even better idea, moisten a wash cloth, zip it up in this pouch and you are ready for cleaning up your little ones dirty face and hands. Just put it back in the pouch after and it won't get your purse or bag soggy! This is also a great cosmetics bag. If something leaks or gets messy inside, just wipe it out with a damp cloth.

You can easily clean these pouches by washing in cold water and hanging them up to dry. It's best to unzip them before washing. Open it up and stretch it over a jar or bottle and it will try quickly.

These pouches are great for small liquid items that may leak, travel size shampoos, conditioners, lotions, toothpaste, you get the idea...

6 1/4" wide
5 3/4" high

Not intended to hold edibles.

Holiday Red and Green Large Bath Puff

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 19:14:56 -0500

$12.00
Here is my tomato red and watermelon green 100% cotton crocheted bath puff. Colors may remind you of a ripe juicy watermelon or perhaps the Christmas holiday. Any way you look at it, it's bright and festive!

The puff is larger than most you'll find, measures just over 5 1/2" across, 14 inches fully around the outer edge. I have made the hanging loop longer as well, loop is 10", hangs 5" from hook in bath or shower. My puffs are full, fluffy, thick and thirsty! The hanging shop tag makes them ready for gift giving. Care instructions included with purchase.

Great gift when paired with a luxurious handmade soap. Also a comforting treat for your spa experience!

I love the feel of these as they are all lathered up and are so soft!!

Super easy care, machine wash, hang to dry. These, like crochet cotton wash cloths, just keep getting softer!

Ready made, ready to ship. Due to the fullness and detail involved, each puff takes approximately 3 hours to create.

The final photo displays a few of the other colors I have available.

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 16:36:21 -0500

$10.00
Price slashed. Take advantage of this great deal!
Marked down from $25.00!

The generous size of this herbal comfort pad, 15 1/2" x 21", makes it very versatile. It is very comforting as a warm pack for sore back muscles. Also works great used horizontally across the small of your back. The weight of the flax and the warmth makes them very soothing on thighs as well. Also can be placed, sealed in plastic bag, in freezer to provide cool comfort. Due to the size of this one, you may need to fold it in half, microwave it for 2 minutes, take it out, fold it the other way and then microwave it again for 2-3 minutes.

This one features horses and ponies in a meadow and near a stream. Great gift for the horseback rider or outdoor lover.

My herbal comfort packs are great for sore muscles and general aches and pains. I have been making these and selling them to my coworkers for several years.

Quality cotton print fabric is double stitched for strength. Packs have inner lining of muslin fabric and outer layer of cotton print fabric. Five individual channels distribute flax seeds and provide longer lasting heating or cooling comfort. Each pack is filled with blend of flax seeds and natural mint.

Instructions will be included with each comfort pack. These provide great comfort when used either warmed or chilled.

Please contact me if you are interested in a different size, I will quote a price depending on materials involved. I will then list item and send you a convo. I also have a large fabric stash and can probably make just about any color you desire.

This, by no means, replaces medical attention. It is meant to give comfort.

Grandma's Twice As Nice Cotton Cloths In Purple and Lavender

I crochet these whenever I have a few spare minutes. Invariably, ladies stop and chat with me about them. Often they will ask if they are knit or crochet, they are crocheted, I tell them. 9 times out of 10 they will tell me that their Grandmother makes, or used to make them. Many times they tell me that their Grandma did, or was, going to teach them how to make them as well. Always, yes, always, they rave about how they "last forever" and are great for cleaning dishes.

Buyer will receive 2 handmade cloths. One in lavender and one in purple. Pretty and feminine, a great addition to a bath and body gift basket or a useful stocking stuffer.

This pair of 100% cotton cloths are crocheted using 2 strands of yarn. This makes them even more thick, thirsty and durable. They each measure 8 1/2" square.

These also work fabulously well as facial cloths. The extra thickness makes them great for exfoliation. They are generously sized and can wash any size body!

Also can be used as cleaning cloths around the house or auto, they surely will last longer than most cloths available for purchase in the stores. Another big plus is that they are handmade, right here in America, no less!

Pair them with a superb handmade soap by any of the wonderful Etsy soap makers and you've got a thoughtful and appreciated gift.

These will last longest if they are washed in cool water and gently dried or hung to dry. I, personally, toss them in a warm washer and dryer but they shrink just a little.

The price is a little higher as they use twice as much yarn.

Grandma's Twice As Nice Cotton Dishcloths In Holiday Red and Green

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 20:00:46 -0500

$15.00
I crochet these whenever I have a few spare minutes. Invariably, ladies stop and chat with me about them. Often they will ask if they are knit or crochet, they are crocheted, I tell them. 9 times out of 10 they will tell me that their Grandmother makes, or used to make them. Many times they tell me that their Grandma did, or was, going to teach them how to make them as well. Always, yes, always, they rave about how they "last forever" and are great for cleaning dishes.

Buyer will receive 3 handmade cloths. Festive Christmas colors of holly red and pine tree green! Crocheted with love and good cheer and tied with a pretty red and white check bow.

This set of 100% cotton cloths are crocheted using 2 strands of yarn. This makes them even more thick, thirsty and durable. They each measure 8 1/2" square.

These also work fabulously well as facial cloths. The extra thickness makes them great for exfoliation. They are generously sized and can wash any size body!

Also can be used as cleaning cloths around the house or auto, they surely will last longer than most cloths available for purchase in the stores. Another big plus is that they are handmade, right here in America, no less!

Pair them with a superb handmade soap by any of the wonderful Etsy soap makers and you've got a thoughtful and appreciated gift.

These will last longest if they are washed in cool water and gently dried or hung to dry. I, personally, toss them in a warm washer and dryer but they shrink just a little.

The price is a little higher as they use twice as much yarn.
