Paper is Back

When I first got my Etsy shop I actually started out with paper products and cards. I slowly migrated to knitting because with the intention of bringing the cards along for the ride. Somewhere along the way the cards got left on the curb, but now they're back! Check out our new card selections!

EtsyBlogger Featured seller

Hello eveyone! I amnow part of a team on Etsy called EtsyBloggers. Part of being a member is posting something about them on our own blogs.

This month's featured seller is Linda of pruitthandcrafts.


Rain Drop Necklace - As seen on Etsy Front Page 
I immediatly fell in love with many of her products, including the necklace shown above. I hope you will check her out.

Balloon ornaments

A few years back Martha Stewart did a segment on making ornaments out of glue and string. I thought these were a great idea and was very eager to make them with my children. They are extremely simple and very elegant. This turned into a family tradition very quickly because not only does it produce a great product, it is a very messy process!

ETSYKids

Well now that I am back at home and have my feet in Etsy again I am getting familiar with my new teams and groups. Today i want to dive a little deeper into one of my new favorites, the EtsyKids team.
I am amazed how welcoming a group of strangers can be. Chaos By Design and I have received nothing but overwhelming halp and support from this great group.
EtsyKids members are a designated group of people creating and catering to children. I look forward to getting to know people and being a part of the team. Be sure to look for member shops on Etsy, Facebook, Twitter, and all over the web!

Well,I made it back from the mainland and I got a whole suitcase full of new yarn for some great projects. Here is a sneak peak of a bamboo yarn that is silky smooth....

Giveaway

I found this great giveaway that one of my Teammates on the HomeFront Team is doing. the rikrak studio and nicole's homemade treat's is teaming up to give away a $25.00 gift card for some mouth watering tasty treats. check it out here. It is well worth it!

O,Happy Monday!

Hello everyone I am so glad to share with you that we have been accepted to join several great Etsy Teams. I know a lot of you out there are Etsians too and would benefit from checking out some of these!
All of these groups are great but the Home Front Team is extra special to me because it supports the people who support our soldiers. My husband is Purple Heart recipient from the Iraqi war and I know how hard it is on the families who support our soldiers both while they are away from us and at home.
