I will be at the Mentor Senior Center tomorrow for their Holiday Market from 9:00am-3:00pm. This is a great event for some early Christmas shopping and holiday decor! I will post photos later of some of the items I will have available.

Prepping lots of micro-crocheted lace earrings today. These earring are all hand crocheted using a fine thread. I then block shape them with pins on a blocking board and use a fabric stiffener to starch them. The result is a light and delicate earring. They are so light you can barely feel you are wearing them!

Just added a new listing to my Etsy shop! This sweet little coaster set adds a little hope of spring to your home. Each set comes with four coasters. Hand-crocheted out of an all-cotton yarn. Right now there are just two sets available!

Prepping a bulk order for my No-Sew Doll Making Kits today. This one is heading to Virginia for a group craft at a tea party! How fun is that??

These kits have been used in classrooms across the US, Girl Scout Troops, Birthday Parties, Homeschool groups, and are even featured in a few gift shops. They are perfect for ages 5-12, but have also been used for a craft in assisted living homes!

They are available for purchase on my Etsy shop in a set of two kits, or bulk orders at a reduced price. Contact me if you need specific number of kits. I love working directly with my customers!

This album is all memory work I have done. Memory work is things made out of clothing that have memories attached to them. Sometimes it is something that belonged to a loved one who passed away, and sometimes it is just to remember an event or accomplishment. Whatever the reason, these projects are always so meaningful to work on!

Come see April Rock and me today at the Mentor Senior Center from 9-3 for an early Holiday Market! I will have new prints in my Fabric Balloon Covers, hand-crocheted rugs, micro-crocheted earrings, and these adorable tiny teacup bookmarks. Then head down two tables from me and visit my crochet student, Mia Sexstella, and see all the wonderful things she has been making!
