Picnic Blankets

So, the winter wool good season is over, and I'm contemplating how to keep selling over the warmer months. I figure I can either build up stock and prepare for the fall and winter, or I can diversify a bit. I plan on doing both. My next venture will be upcycled/recycled sweaters felted and turned into picnic blankets. I'm thinking of backing them with upcycled/repurposed jeans or other sturdy material. A double bonus of this is that I'm expecting my local thrifstores to be a great source of wool sweaters this time of year. I am excited about this new adventure. I love trying new things and growing as an artist. I'll post pictures of the process and finished product as I go. First step, a trip to the Goodwill!

Fingerless Silk and Wool Mittens

Winter is not quite over! There are also quite a few chilly spring days to come! These wrist warmers are perfect for this weather! They are soft, warm, breathable, and oh so cute. They can also be made in a variety of color combinations and lengths. No two mittens are exactly the same! They only take a day or two to create, so there is still time to get them and enjoy them before summer is upon us!

United Way of Duluth, Power of the Purse Donation

I was invited recently to donate one of my pieces to a wonderful cause - a literacy program that the United Way helps to fund. I chose to donate a purse I'd been working on. The purse is inspired by the Lucy Bag pattern by Two Old Bags and is used with their permission. There are some wonderful purses being donated, I encourage you all to check them out!

I've got some new things finally listed on my Etsy Shop. It's slower going with my main website, but should be on there by the end of the week. Listings include Rainbow Beanies, Ear Flap Hats, and a lovely striped cloche style hat. All are custom orders in your choice of color and size.

Christmas is Over!

Christmas is over, but surprisingly enough, business is still steady! I just received an order for a lined hat and mitten set.  And right before Christmas, I got an order for a special order hat. All in all, I'm pleased with how my winter season has been going. I've even been forecasting out what I'd like to get done for next year. I'm definitely pursuing a small local show and plan on getting ready for it this spring and summer when business is sure to slow down.

Winter is here though, and there is still plenty of cold weather left, along with the need for toasty hats and mittens. Plus bags and purses are a year round accessory. One of my goals is to use up the yarn I have before buying more. We'll see how that goes! Easier said than done! My website is also in need of updating and items need to be added. I guess it's a good sign that I haven't had the time and have been too busy with orders!

There is currently a wait time of 1-2 weeks for all hat and mitten custom orders, and a 2 or more week wait time for all purses and bags not in stock. Things go fast, so order now!
