Did you find me in the etsy forum? If not, search for one of my posts there. After you make a purchase of any of my crochet at my etsy store, include in the comment a link to one of my posts and I’ll pay for your domestic shipping costs (international shipping will be discounted)! Either, wait for a revised invoice or pay by paypal and I’ll refund you. This does not apply to the supplies section.
And remember, 15% of the sale price of all crochet items go to the HELP THE PUPPIES Campaign!
Indie fashion = indie fun!

The Crafted With Love organization donates 100% of its profits to non-profit animal organizations. Of course I just had to donate some of my crochet. So, take a look around, especially at the flower hair pin and Grammy’s Watermelon Tropical Flower Brooch. Also, I’ll be directing customers who are interested in my Grammy’s Watermelon Tropical Flower Brooch in my etsy store to kindly purchase the ones at Crafted with Love.

In the normal course of things, C is for cat. For the month of August, however, FAST members have been challenged to create fiber art items with a “Celestial” theme. So, for the month of August, “C is for Celestial!” Take a look!

I just can’t believe it. Both my Tantalizing Minty Newborn Booties and my Tantalizing Minty Newborn Hat were chosen for two different treasuries! The first treasury is called SAINTS or SINNERS? and the second treasury is called Aaahhhhqua. Take a look by clicking the links.



I’ve created a yahoo group for Etsy For Animals (”EFA”). If you are an EFA member, you are welcomed to join the group. If you are not an EFA member, but would like to become one, attempt to join the group and your request will be sent to the EFA curator, mvegan5.

I have offered to help the street team Etsy for Animals by administering the etsyforanimals store. Currently, it is not yet set up as a store but it soon will. For now, many of the EFA members are listed as favorite sellers.

Here is a similar bag as the custom one I just posted. The hat and flower was inspired by the purse – the brim of the hat is Tunisian! This one is made with a mohair blend yarn that I love. Too bad I can’t get anymore of it. It has a nice feel, nice thickness, and great color. I call it the Oh So Mauve Set.


This was my first custom order and I enjoyed the design process. The very nice customer had size (approximate size of purse and handle length) and color (to match the Red Accent Tulucia Machika Cloche she purchased) specifications, which I designed around. I had just purchased small d rings and clips when I went to Japan in May and I was so happy when it worked with the project so nicely. I crocheted the purse in Tunisian. I like the design so much that I created another similar one, which I will post up soon.
