Sandy and a blue scarf

Thank God Sandy came and went.  We were lucky she didn't leave us with any damages which certainly can not be said for lots of other folks.  So sorry for all the damage she left behind.  I can only imagine how I would feel when my property got destroyed or a loved one got injured or passed away because of Mother Nature having a fit.  I send my best wishes to those of you who are affected by Sandy's visit and hope somehow you can get back on track and move on.

My arm seems to be doing ok or maybe I'm just getting used to wearing this sling.  I do have to be careful not to forget to take my arm out of that thing and do my exercises.  I can see where that would be a big issue down the road trying to get all my muscles to work properly again.  Now today I'm typing with both hands, yeahhhh.  Except I have to sit funny in my chair to be able to reach the keyboard with my slinged arm, but hey I manage.  

I added a couple of scarves, a crocheted and felted make believe cake (or pincushion) and a felted little purse to my shop a couple of days ago.  Still have lots more items I haven't listed but that's a good thing. So for now here are photo's of the items I listed.

One is a knitted blue tube scarf which looks really darling on a young adult or child.  Here is the link to it: http://www.etsy.com/listing/113588165/knitted-blue-tube-scarf-teener-scarf

The next one is a red polar fleece scarf on which I needle felted a cat family.  They all are wearing colars which have little beads sewed on.  Really cute for a child, young adult or a grown up who loves kitty cats!   Makes for a great warm holiday present!  Here is the link to it:  http://www.etsy.com/listing/113381010/red-needle-felted-fleece-scarf-cat-scarf

Here is the knitted and felted make believe cake or you can purchase it as a pincushion for a person who likes to sew!  Here is the link to it: http://www.etsy.com/listing/113344031/crocheted-felted-pretend-play-cake

The other item is a small felted purse which can be used for all kinds of stuff.  You can use it as a cell phone carrier, use it to store jewelry in, can be a coin carrier, etc.   Here is the link to it: http://www.etsy.com/listing/113347079/felted-embroidered-pouch-felted-little

Thanks for stopping by!

Little handbag/basket and another Nuno Felted Scarf

I made the little bag/basket out of 100% wool and fulled it in the washing machine. I made it to be a basket but it turns out cuter as a small handbag I think. Would be really cute for a little girl to carry her doll or stuffed animal in! I embroidered french knots all around the edge in a very pretty blue cotton thread.

The scarf is another nuno felted one this time in blues, purples and lime green. The fabric is synthetic and is also blue in color. It's wide enough to use as a wrap to put over your shoulders but looks beautiful bunched together around the neck as well. Another one of a kind if you're looking for something nobody else has this is the scarf for you!

A Flirty Blue Scarf

I wasn't too sure how this was going to turn out when I started knitting this scarf. The yarn is from Italy, 50% merino and 50% acrylic but has a unique texture and instead of being twisted it looks like a crocheted chain. I used very chunky needles to knit it and wasn't happy with the way it looked when I was done with it until I realized when I hung it over the mannequin it curled up on it's own so I had one of those ahhhaaaaaa moments ... I folded it in half and crocheted along the entire length turning it into a long tube scarf. For both ends I just doubled my stitches to get a gathering effect which turned out pretty cute I think. I put the bows through a row of eyelets and it can be easily removed and replaced by a different type ribbon or just left out since it will still keep it's ruffled look on the ends because that's the way I knitted it. Looks very cute and feminine. It's in my Etsy shop so go and have a peek if you want to see more pictures.
