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.
Crafted with Love is an organization that solicits donations of original handmade items, which they sell. The proceeds are donated to certain no-kill shelters. They currently specialize in jewelry but they accept any artform. As soon as I can find something to suit the gallery, I will donate my crochet! Its a great way to promote your art while helping out animals in need.
I made this matching ribbon cloche right after I finished putting together obaasama’s ribbon vest but I just never posted it. I’ll be posting a pattern for it soon (I hope). I just sold it in my etsy store (I originally designed the In Bloom Flower for this hat.)
Michele of mvegan5 created an EFA Treasury and it currently includes my Blue Tulucia Machika Cloche. In celebration, Tantalizing Stitches will donate 50% of all crochet sales (instead of the usual 15%) during the duration of the treasury. Just mention the EFA treasury during checkout.
Tantalizingstitches.com is now online and ready for business! In celebration of its grand opening, Tantalizing Stitches is giving away a matching crocheted flower with the first ten leis purchased.
In addition, 15% of all crochet sales are donated to help the puppies.
Custom orders are welcomed.
The puppies are growing and gaining spasmatic energy by the minute. They just need a home in Saipan! Just look how cute they are!
Look at this ‘before’ picture. Their health has improved so much with the help of proper nutrition, medical attention, and antibiotics. So far, $5.55 has been raised to pay the veterinary bill. Please help by donating or buying crocheted items at my etsy store. 100% of all donations and 15% of all sales of crocheted items will go toward their bill.
I checked my email Monday morning, Saipan time, and found an email indicating that I sold Grammy’s Rosy Cloche and a matching brooch on etsy. I was so excited that I couldn’t think. It feels great to know that someone will enjoy an item that I have personally made. It also feels great to know that the puppies are just that much closer to getting their veterinarian bill paid. Browny’s fur is growing in great and the both of them are eating like wolves. Pretty soon they will be ready to go home to a lovely family and enjoy new found happiness.
I just joined the Etsy for Animals: Artists Helping Animal (EFA). EFA is a street team or group of artists and craftspeople on Etsy.com who donate some portion of their sales to animal rescues and charities. Right now, I am working on saving these two little puppies. Fifteen percent of all sales of my crochet items will be donated to these two puppies (that includes my etsy shop and my street market booth – every Thursday).

The two little puppies, temporarily named Browny and Blacky, visited the veterinarian over the weekend. Each puppy was given a dip for their mange, medicine for deworming, their first vaccination, a dose of Revolution to kill off any remaining mange, and antibiotics. To date, their treatment has cost $335.13! It just goes to show you what these two puppies have been going through. To help pay for this bill, 15% of any purchase of any of my crocheted items at Etsy and at the Thursday Street Market will go towards this bill. So, if you find anything you like, rest assured that your purchase will help these two puppies.
Look at them now. Feeling so much better, they are a bundle of energy waiting for a new home.
