Crochet Fingerless Gloves!

Here it is, ladies and gentlemen, fingerless gloves! :D

Fingerless Gloves!?

I was walking around the store the other day when I saw a skein of HOT PINK yarn!! I thought to myself, "You MUST make something awesome out of this!" And so I did! :P  Instead of knitting this time, I decided to crochet, and created some fingerless gloves in hot hot pink! :)  I may be a bit of a punk, but I'm still a girl, and love hot pink! I am working on the second one, and then after that I am going on the search for some deep green yarn to make a pair for my sister who already wants some! I'll post pictures soon, but for now just think about leg warmers for your writsts and forearms, leaving your fingers free.. :P  I'm sure they'll be great for working in the winter, when regular gloves just get in the way! :D

New Scarf!!

A while back, I asked a friend on fb about designing a logo for the Lucky 13 line of scarves, and she did and it's awesome!! (See Lucky 13 scarves on the right!) Well, instead of payment, we agreed to barter!! It was super fun, and I just finished her scarf!! I shall call it the McGraw scarf!! : D It's blue and red, suuuuper long, and with super long fringe in opposing colors on each end! It looks so awesome! I can't wait to send it to her! ^_^

Candles!!

Here is a picture of some of the candles I made! This was the first couple of batches. :)

CANDLES!! And more knit scarves!!

First, I would like to profusely apologize to all my loyal fans and customers for not posting for a while!! It's been a busy time of year with the cold fronts coming through on a nearly-regular basis!! :D

On the new front, I have started making, yes, candles!! I've made some large octagons, votives, tea lights, and what I like to call "Tea Light Double Shots". They're between the sizes of tea lights and votives, and fit in votive holders and most tea light holders. They can be bought separately as well as with holders, I'll update with more information on the next craft show I do if you want to come by and buy!! ^_^
As far as scarves go, as I said it was busy because of the cold fronts, but most were made as gifts for friends and family. I have a tentative order for the Taylor High School cheer squad, so hopefully that will work out and I will be able to make matching scarves in school colors for the cheer team! That will be really exciting if it comes through!

I will post pictures of my candles under "Other Crafty Things" shortly! ^_^

New, new, new!! Scarf, scarf, scarves!!

Hello all!I have a few announcements to make, so here goes... :P
First of all, a co-worker was selling a bunch of cute furniture, so I offered to buy it. Well, there was someone else interested, so I made her a deal she couldn't refuse... A personalized scarf, named after her! :D It's to be deemed the "Bindu Scarf". Also, in sanskrit, Bindu, means "the point at which begins creation", so in other words, it's "The Point of Creation" Scarf! How cool is that? I love it! She designed it herself, with three vertical stripes, instead of the common horizontal stripes as seen in all my other scarves. SO, I get awesome furniture, and Bindu gets her own line of scarves!! :D Deal of the century, I say! ^_^ (Also, the word "Bindu" also means "the sacred symbol of the cosmos in its unmanifested state". How neat!)
Next, my friend Kimberly, of Rowan's Originals, invited me to join her at Realmscon in Corpus Christi in October! She's going to let me share her booth for my very first mass selling experience! Ah! I am so excited! I will be knitting like crazy to make enough "stock" to put up for sale at the con!
And to segue into my final announcement...
To sell my scarves at Realmscon, I am finally going to get my DBA!!! YAY! ^_^ This might seem small to some, but for me, this is a HUGE step! This will make my company, Z's Threadz and Thingz absolutely legit in all ways possible! I will be getting that in late August, so hopefully everything will be good to go for Realmscon in October!

Well, I gave the multi-colored "haute fur" scarf to Missouri City Police Department today for the auction! ^_^ I'm excited to see what it goes for! I'm also excited to help out an officer in need! After working with them for so long, I feel a connection to those in law enforcement, even those I don't personally know. We're one big family. ^_^
Anyway, I also had a friend at work ask me for a pink/black scarf, and it just so happens I have pink and black yarn I can use! :D So, I'll be starting hers in the next couple days! o_O
I also updated my ravelry.com, and realized how many scarves I've made in the past month or two! It's amazing how fast I'm getting at it while not paying attention!

Scarves, scarves, Scarves!!!

It feels so good accomplishing a goal! Even more so when you accomplish three goals in one week! ^_^ I finished a scarf for my boss, for my good friend Jess for her birthday this weekend, and another one I decided out of the blue to make! :P
I have been asked by my friend at the Missouri City Police Department to donate a scarf or shawl for an auction they are having for an Officer friend of theirs. I am going to try to make a shawl, and one of my goals that I completed is a new scarf for the auction. :) It's really pretty! Made with Yarn Bee Haute Fur, and is multi-colored and real pretty and fuzzy! ^_^ Pictures will be coming soon!!
Thanks to everyone who reads my blog!! I know it's not very often that I update, but I really appreciate everyone who actually takes the time to read and go through my pictures!! :D

Baby Blanket!

I am almost finished with a new baby blanket I'm crocheting for a pair of friends! I can't wait 'til it's finished and I can gift them with it!! ^_^ It's going to be very similar to Sydnie's baby blanket (see "Other crafty things I've made") except instead of yellow and white it's pink and white since she knows she's having a girl. :) Also, I can't wait to finish it because that means I can get back to knitting my spring/summer scarf!! XD LOL! I can't wait to take it apart and re-start it! Well, I guess that's about it for today! Have a wonderful weekend, all!

Soft Pink and Cream

I finished my "Leah" scarf I've been working on just last night, and wore it to work today. When I showed it to my coworkers, one of them liked it so much she asked if I was selling it! :) So no more than 12 hours finished and it was already on it's way to a new loving owner! ^_^ I also got a request from my boss for a Leah scarf in denim, like the original! Haha! I don't know if I'll EVER get any scarves in stock since everyone keeps buying them! :D That's a problem I don't mind at all!
(Pictures coming soon of the pink Leah scarf!)

New Post! Hurrah!

Well! It's been a while since I've posted anything, I've been so busy! I've been working on a "Leah" style scarf, except instead of denim blue, I'm using a soft pink color. It looks great so far! It's my first of many to come to get some in stock for next winter! I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be able to get a bunch made before October this year, and open my Etsy shop! ^_^ SUPER EXCITED!! I also have gotten a bunch of t-shirts to make more nifty t-shirt scarves! Keep in mind, the t-shirt scarves are more of a fashion statement than to keep you warm. If you want to keep warm, you need one of my hand knitted scarves!! ;)

Check them out!! To the right! To the right!! ^.^

Today's Bloggy Blog

Just finished a child's scarf today for my classmate's son; plain black but a little bigger than the Sydnie scarf, and without the fringe, since it's for a little boy. :) Happy and excited to give it to her tonight! I've also sold a few more anime selections, thanks to all!! I raised quite a bit of money for my friend KK who was burglarized a while back, so I'm super happy about that! ^_^ It's still going on until I sell ALL my movies, so come one, come all, and buy them! :P They're all in mint condition and super freakin' cheap! :D
(Oh yeah, pics to be coming soon on my scarf page of the newest addition, the boys scarf.. Although it's modeled by Sydnie.) :P
Hoorah!
