New Daisy Line


So seeing as soon spring will be here, i have come to realize that people will just not want to buy scarves and hats so much anymore. Even though i love to knit them, i just know i had to find some other outlet and avenue to sell. So here's where my love of daisies and fabric come in! Messing around one day i made this darling new clutch.

Then i started thinking that i could make really cute sets, with matching card holders that would easily slip inside, that could be used as well card holders, or stash your cash in, or even cell phones in.



So lately thats what i have been focusing more on. Especially since i finally found a bunch of daisies in all kinds of colors! oh man, good thing i am selling or i would be sooo broke! lol What can i say, i love fabrics, and i love daisies! Almost as much as i love yarn and buttons! lol No matter how much i already have, i still want more! (please tell me, its not just me!) lol
So this past week i have created two more sets . My Polka Dot Daisy Clutch set . I think its a really fun fabric. I mean who doesnt like polka dots! In greens and pinks and white, and adorned with cute pink daisies. I have never been a huge fan of the clutch til recently. I guess i dont like having to lug big bags around, when all i need is something to stash my keys, cell phone and wallet in. And this is perfect for that.



But i have to admit, so far my favorite one i have made to date, is my oriental themed one. At least i think it looks oriental to me. Called the Cherry Blossom Daisy Clutch Set. And this one i kind of turned into a wristlet, by attaching white ribbon loop to one end, that is easily wearable and carryable! It's such a cute fabric, and i have so much left over too, i have yet to decide what to do with. But dont you just love these big daisies?? Ok maybe it's just me! lol
I am really hoping to make more and that it really takes off. They are so fun to make, and i think turn out pretty cute too. And like i said before, now that spring will be near, i am trying out new things to make, and different creative ways to keep my shop going.

Meet OrangeBead

One of the first people i met on Etsy was Orangebead. She is by far one of the nicest and friendliest people i know! She makes the cutest little plushies you have ever seen! But its not just what she makes that makes them cute, its how she describes them too! She always gives them cute little stories that helps give them character and bring them to life.

One of her more famous lines of plushies are her newest Piiiiiisssed Off Dolls! They are so mad they are cute! You cant resist! This cutie is her I Am So Piiiiiiised doll made in felt! How can you not giggle when you see this!




This second one is her Cute Piiiiiiised off Racoon! Just too adorable, if i do say so myself!






But dont let these fool you, because she makes so many more cuties! including her also famous Kitties in costumes line. She makes adorable kitties dressed up as froggys, chickens, butterflies, bunnies, penguins, mousie, lambs, and well just about anything you can think of! Even if she hasn't made it yet, if you ask, i bet she can!


But, i think her best one yet to date, or at least my true favorite is her Kitty Mermaid. It took her a long time to make this one. With such detail, so many little flowers, jewelry and everything, it's definitly one of a kind!





Orangebead doesn't just stop here! She also makes great emo dudes, ninja guys, love bugs, and most recently she just listed an adorable bride and groom pair....



So next time you are browsing around on etsy, please take the time to check out my good friend Orangebead at http://orangebead.etsy.com/ She is not only a great seller, but great person, and will give you nothing but the best service!

Welcome!

Well this is my first ever blog, I admit I am sooo new to this whole blogging thing. But, I thought I would give it a shot. I will mostly be talking about and showcasing many of the wonderfully talented etsians I have met and come across since joining back in September. I will of course show my new and upcoming items as well!

In some ways i still feel very new to Etsy, but in others, its quite like home! So many wonderfully friendly people I have met and become friends with, it's almost like a little etsy family. Lol well ok, not "little" lol as there are hundreds of thousands of us on there! But, you get the idea!

I hope if you haven't heard of Etsy by now, you will check it out -
http://etsy.com . It's a place for all things handmade and vintage. It's still considered somewhat new company I think, only being a little over 2 years old. But, I think it's a name that will soon be well known world wide and i am excited to be a part of it!

Please feel free to check out my little shop on there
http://missknits.etsy.com I am constantly updating my shop, adding new items daily! I am also in the forums or in chat often, so if you see me, please say hi! Thanks again for reading my little blog! I am still getting it up and running but do come back often! You never know what treasures you might discover!
