Scrunch it Up

Scrunchies? are they still in style? back in the day when I had very long hair, if i wasnt wearing one in my hair, I def had one on my wrist, ready at any time to become just a bit too warm and BING there it was to swoop up my hair.

So i've been sick with some kind of weird coughing flu bug for the past week, and wanted to spend my time at home doing some short term crafting projects where I could see the result right away. And with the upcoming christmas season in mind, I started thinking stocking stuffers. I have lots and lots of different kinds of fuzzy and eyelash yarn around the house (everywhere from the closet, to under the bed, to in suitcases that are put up) So I made lots of different colors of scrunchies. Hoping for a mad stocking stuffer rush for the season!

I did alot of my stocking stuffer shopping on etsy last year and found lots I could use, particularly in the bath adn body section. I had 4 stockings to stuff, including my mothers, so etsy was definitely the place for one of a kind fun items.

Check my shop for the new scrunchies and lots more stocking stuffers............bookworm bookmarks, mini washcloths and more. http://www.craftheart.etsy.com/

On Bedrest

I'm on Bedrest and going stir crazy! Dr said I am borderline pnuemonia and since I have a history of pnuemonia. (yup, had it before, it sucks), they arent taking any chances. Sent me home to bed, with antibiotics and some of the most worst tasting cough syrup you ever want to taste. All I have to say is thank heavens for my laptop. So what am I doing besides blogging, sleeping, coughing and watching TV? Crocheting! yup Working mostly on crochet flip flops for summer. They were a pretty good seller in my etsy shop last year http://www.craftheart.etsy.com/ , and I am hoping for the same this year.

I'm also working on my fuzzy caterpillar bookworm bookmarks. I am surprised at how popular they have become, but I am glad. They are going to make great Easter basket fillers this year. Working on a twist to the caterpillar bookmark as well. Something different, but it has a long tail. Its still on the design table so to speak - squeak, squeak.

Looking for some other crocheted items? Try browsing some other etsy shops. You'll be surprised at what you find. And the quality of handmade is second to none. LazyT has some awesome hats in her shop. http://www.lazytcrochet.etsy.com You'll want to check her out.

I am constantly amazed at the treasures I find. I have been eyeing this little guy for a while now. Reminds me of my friend, Jenny. She loved giraffes. Her living room was done in a safari type theme, but her fave was the giraffe, and how excited she was when she was able to go to Busch Gardens and feed the giraffes, face to face.......well more or less. This little Georgie Giraffe though, is too cute for words. I know she'd love him! See what else is being offered at http://www.cicrafts.etsy.com
