Birds and Birdhouses Magnet Set

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 22:20:08 -0500

$4.00
This set of two magnets features a perky little bluebird and his charming house. They come packaged in a tin container with clear lid, perfect for a stocking stuffer.

Each image is stamped and hand colored with glittery inks. Glitter is mixed with the adhesive when assembling, making each magnet sparkle beneath the glass marble (marbles may have bubbles or other minor imperfections-adding to their character). Strong promag magnets ensure these magnets will hold item on the fridge. I use these magnets in my classroom! Magnets measure about 1 inch across.

Ralph the NeedleFelted Snowman

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 22:10:10 -0500

$10.00
This little Snowman is soft and cuddly. He is made completely of local wool batt and roving and measures a little more than 5 inches tall from his base to the tip of his hat.

Needlefelting is done by taking a piece of 100% wool bat or roving and, using a special barbed needle, stabbing at the wool repeatedly creating the sculpture. My figures are very soft and have no armature or buttons. They are not, however, intended for very young children as it is possible (though unlikely) the limbs could possibly be removed and cause a hazard.

Pretty in Pink Blankie

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:20:27 -0500

$18.00
My sister, who is almost thirty, still has her blankie. The touch of it was always comforting to her and it kept a bit of love (and Grandma) with her whenever she needed it.

My blankies are created to provide that same comfort to other babies, toddlers, and children. They enjoy the feel of the soft yarn and feeding their small fingers through the holes in the crochet.

Each blankie is a variation on a granny square with a different edging and is as unique as the children that cherish them. They are also small, almost doll blanket size so that they can go anywhere.

This one features a cream ruffle, pink center and measures about 31" square. Wash in a gentle cycle, and dry on low.

My figures are very soft and have no armature or buttons. They are not, however, intended for very young children (3 and under)as it is possible (though unlikely) the limbs or mane could be removed and cause a choking hazard.

$20.00
This apron is meant to be useful!

I use mine everyday in in our large garden for holding my water bottle, pruners, spade, and even nails when I have to fix a fence or the chicken coop. It doesn't slide at all when it is tied snugly and is very comfortable. I've washed my several ties in cold water, regular cycle and dried it also on the regular settings and it looks just as great as when I made it!!!

Covered with a darling bee pattern in the front, the apron is lined with the same sturdy muslin that makes the ties and back of the pocket. There are five large pockets and one skinny pocket for a pen or pencil. The skinny pocket is stopped half-way up so you don't lose the pencil in a too-deep pocket. The sides and bottom are top stitched for neatness and hems are turned twice for a finished look and to prevent fraying.

The Busy Bee Apron measures 22.5" across and 8.5" deep. The pockets are 7" deep. Each tie is about 24" long.

I have other fabrics available and will be posting them soon. . .if you are interested but would like to see what else I have, just let me know and I'll email pictures.
