Find the Hidden Golden Globe Sale!
The Golden Globe Awards are over for this year, but the fun is not! Somewhere in my shop you will find a special code for 15% - 40% off your entire purchase! That could be $60 off a repurposed lambswool and cashmere sweater blanket, $21 off a custom made felted wool hat, $75 off a handcrafted messenger bag, or $25 off a pair of felted alpaca cuffs like were gifted at the GBK Luxury Gift Lounge at the Golden Globes!
How does it work? Every day at 7:15 am EST, I will hide a code somewhere in my shop. It could be in a listing, it could be in my policies, or my profile. The code will read: GGFUN15 , or GGFUN 20, etc. Basically, GGFUN followed by the percentage off for the day.
Use the code when checking out to get the percentage off. Also put in the notes to seller where you found the coupon, so I know you did indeed find it.
You may use and find a new coupon every day, but a coupon available one day will not be available the next. You can not add the amounts up over the course of the week. Each coupon is good for that day only.
The coupon can be used on any item - custom, in stock and made to order.
And as always FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING ON EVERY ORDER! Unless you state otherwise, I will be shipping no earlier than the 28th (just in case you play on multiple days). Some custom and made to order items will take longer than a week. If you need a piece by a specific date, please state so when placing your order.
This sale will end Jan 28.
HERE'S A CLUE TO HELP GET YOU STARTED - you'll find today's code within a listing for something designed to help keep you warm.

After the Globes, What's Next?
The hoopla of the Golden Globes is over. Ho hum. And my felted cuffs are in the hands of certain members of the press. I have no idea which ones, but it's exciting to know that they are out there somewhere in the hands of a potentially great source of advertisement or business lead.
I received a partial list of those it could be, ranging from The Huffington Post to Hollywood TV to The Today Show Australia to Momz in the Mix. Obviously, certain venues are more of a fit than others, and to be honest, I really don't know where I hope they end up!
So, I've sent out my follow up e-mails to those I know were there and who might have gotten my gifts. Whoever it is, I hope they love them (or at least know someone who would)! I can't wait to hear what they think! For now, it's a waiting game. I'll be sure to let you know what comes of it.
On other fronts, I am continuing to update the shop - working on pictures, descriptions, key words, etc. I'm continuing to put my name out there and setting goals for the new year. I'm thinking about new product lines (lined picnic blankets, small recycled sweater pouches similar to Cari Cucksey's gift, and possibly a line of trigger/photography mittens).
And, I've got 100 business cards going to a major Hollywood event in the near future! Any ideas where?

How I Made My Felted Alpaca Cuffs for the GBK Gift Lounge at the 2012 Golden Globes
The holidays, craft shows and family business has gotten in the way of posting. Really, I've had the best of intentions! I've got a minute, so I thought I'd put the first post up concerning the process of making my lightweight felted alpaca cuffs that are being gifted to members of the press at the GBK Gift Lounge at the 2012 Golden Globes. I can't believe it's right around the corner!
Felting, or more technically fulling, is a process where a piece is knit from animal fiber and then shrunk to form a tight fabric. It is durable, water resistant, warm, and can be cut without fraying. Felted wool is also odor resistant, resists wrinkles and is hypoallergenic. It's amazing what a little heat, friction, and water can do!
I started by knitting the cuffs flat. I found that I was able to do so on my lovely knitting machine (I've got a Silver Reed LK150). Love that machine! It's my first knitting machine. It's pretty basic, but a wonderfully sturdy and easy to use tool. It has also sped up the knitting of anything knit in a stockinette stitch (knit one round, purl the next).
I used a lace-weight yarn, and knit the cuffs about 2-3 times as large as they were to end up.
Because they are not knit in the round, I have to then sew them up the side. Most of this seem disappears during the felting process, if I am careful when sewing them up.
Then I threw them in the wash. For my first attempt, I used hot water. Big mistake. The two parts of the cuff sealed together, and I had to pry and snip them apart. I found warm worked better until the cuffs actually started to felt.
The cuffs were stretched and pulled into shape and left to dry.
Next step - needle felting!
