On the Sunny Silk Road Scarf

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 04:03:47 -0400

$25.00
Optimism in a scarf! Bright silk sari threads are spun into colorful yarn. I've used this yarn to make a wonderfully soft scarf.

The scarf is long and narrow, you can wear it wrapped once for dramatic drape or several times for warmth. Adds a bright touch to drab winter. And because it is not wool you can wear it well into spring.

Perfect for gift-giving, but I won't tell if you decide to keep it for yourself after you see it in real life.

3" wide
88" long

Elegant but edgy, these earrings feature my new favorite showcase beads - a glass black drop flower. I love the retro look so I paired it with some faceted beads from old 1950s necklaces I collect. The end result is a great lightweight pair of earrings appropriate for day or evening wear.

On hypo-allergenic gold tone findings. 1.75" in length.

Stripes and spots: Dalmatian jasper meets Picasso stone. The combination is passionate and heady. Tempered by a flash of red glass, these earrings are classy, surprising and beautiful.

Rustic Lavender - Earrings

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 15:29:37 -0400

$15.00
This stone is a beautiful lacey agate. The stones are a bronze-y brown with some purples and beige with within the veining to make them truly unique. I've kept the accent beads simple to keep the focus on the agates - using just a pale pink facet-cut crystal and a bronze seed bead.

They hang nearly 2" in length and are of medium weight. If you are used to wearing larger earrings, these won't be a problem.

The findings and earwires are copper.

* Carnelian hearts (approx 1.25" wide and 1.25" long)
* Glass green disks centered between two ruby colored Swarovski crystals
* Copper findings

Dangle earrings measuring a total of about 2" in length. Because of the uniqueness of natural stone, the hearts differ in color slightly and there is a slightly larger space in the heart of one, so a little more of the copper bar shows.

Lightweight, fanciful and unique.

Soft as Bunnies Purple and Grey Scarf

Sat, 22 Aug 2009 22:30:41 -0400

$15.00
I can't describe the luscious softness of this scarf other than to say it's soft as bunnies. I combined two yarns: one a dusky purple acrylic and the other a brushed baby alpaca blend in a grey, white and black color.

It is 66" long and 3" wide. It is toasty warm without being itchy or heavy. And the nice thing about alpaca is it isn't itchy like mohair and it doesn't have as much of a shedding problem.

Will work perfectly with casual or slightly dressy wear. Great with denims or a nice black or grey coat.

Very cush, very posh, yet still down to earth.

$5.00
I made one of these for myself and found it perfect for carrying my Shuffle around. I can find it easily in my purse because of the feel and the earphones stay tidy and in one place.

But you don't have to use it for an iPod Shuffle. This hand knit pouch is 2.75" x 2.5" inches. It will also fit:

* jewelry - great for gift-giving and travel
* a condom - see reasons above
* a small mint tin - mine are prone to opening at the bottom of my purse.
* coins - 'specially if you have to use quarters for laundry!
* folded Kleenex
* talismans, prayers, affirmations
* secret stash of candies
* lip balm - the flat kind in a little tub
* stickers
* fabric & yarn swatches for things you're supposed to match - okay, that might just be me.
* cough drops
* anything else come to mind?

This pouch is knit with wool yarn that is variegated shades of orange and deep red. It fastens shut with a reclaimed button set in orange-red. You can hand wash your pouch and lay flat to dry.

YART SALE ITEM! TAKE 10% OFF THE PRICE JUNE 11 - JUNE 14!

Every time I look at this purse I think how the design is dainty but the colors are kind of funky. Bright purple, olive, navy and turquoise - only you can rock those colors! The pictures are indoor light, natural light and shaded natural light - it's hard the get the colors to photograph well, darn it!

Crocheted in mostly acrylic yarn so it's not gonna bag, sag or drag on ya. And if it gets dirty, give it a good handwash and dry flat. This is my own design and it's one-of-a-kind.

The bag measures approximately 12" X 7". I made the hand opening a little small - it's only 3" - but I can carry it with my big man hands very comfortably. That's the nice thing about yarn - its soft. There's a wool crochet edging and crocheted flower appliqué just to make it special.
