Adding Patterns to My Shop

I'm thinking of adding patterns to my shop. I have made several crochet patterns up over the years and people ask me for specific patterns often. I wrote some out and need testers to make sure there are no errors and everything is understandable on my pattern. If you are interested in testing patterns, leave a comment here. The first patterns I might add are some pretty lacy hearts as shown in the photo. I think patterns would be a nice addition to my shop, and they are easy because no shipping costs are involved since we're in the digital age. Check out my shop and see what I have to offer... and check back soon to see my new Patterns Section!

New Item

This weekend I took a break from the hats & matching scarves that I've been doing. I focused a bit more on Valentine's Day by making the 2011 version of the "Jesus is My Valentine" cross bookmark. I came up with my first "Jesus is My Valentine" a few years ago when I was selling on Etsy. I sold several of them, so the following year I made another one in a slightly different pattern. Those sold well also, so I have kept up the tradition every year now. I called this "Jesus is My Valentine" because it is a cross with a heart in the middle. This year's version is a shell pattern in pink with a red border that has points at each corner of the cross. It is finished off with a tassel on top in both red and pink and a red heart in the middle. I hope you like my new cross bookmark. You can find it in my MattsCraftyWife shop on ArtFire.

Featuring Ingrid's Creations

Ingrid's Creations

I love everything in Ingrid's Creations' shop! She makes the most beautiful necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and other jewelry. She also makes beautiful bookmarks with beads and crystals. If I could I would buy every single item in her shop! She's not only a fabulous jewelry artist, but she's one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet. We became friends a couple of years ago after we met on an Etsy Group. I am no longer an Etsy seller but I'm still friends with Ingrid. Check out her shop at Ingrid's Creations.

Pink & Black Flower Bracelet and Seed Glass Beads and Swarovski Crystals

She has many bracelets to choose from, all of which are deliciously stunning.

Fuschia & Rose Pink Princess Silver Dangle Earrings

Ingrid's earrings are all totally gorgeous! She uses only the finest materials, Czech glass, Swarovski crystals and more. I love this pair above, the hearts dangling are so cute.

Antiqued Gold Maple Leaf Necklace

Ingrid makes many beautiful necklaces in different styles. This one is one of my favorites, with a golden leaf and swarovski crystals. Very lovely for autumn, or any time of year.

I love Ingrid's bottlecap necklaces like the one shown above! They are so cute, with an image in the center and swarovski crystals dangling. This one features a chocolate heart truffle in the center, with brown and pink crystals. The bottlecap hangs on a sheer hot pink organza ribbbon, thin chocolate brown ribbon and a thin hot pink ribbon.

Check out Ingrid's shop, and while you are there, buy yourself a treat!

My Daughter's Shop

"All Is Calm" SOLD

My daughter has an ArtFire shop that I'd like to share with you all. She has won one award in the county for her art, and is up for another one this year! She has a few paintings for sale, like the one shown above, the night scene. She gets better and better each year, and sold a painting today actually!

Enchanted Forest

She also makes bookmarks, repurposed out of greeting cards, scrapbook paper, or cardstock. Sometimes she uses paint on them, sometimes not. She uses the money she makes on the bookmarks to put toward buying painting supplies.

Snowman

So every time someone buys a painting or bookmark, they are supporting her young talent in painting.

Faith

Please check out her shop on ArtFire, ForeverDawn17.
