Gifting with crochet

I have made one scarf so far for my mom's Christmas gift. I'm working on a few other projects that I pray will be done by Dec 20th at the latest. I present to you my mother's gift "With Love":










The pattern is based on the Bernat pattern, Striped Scarf found here. I used chunky yarn and an 8mm crochet hook therefore I only needed roughly 4-6 rows of double crochet depending on how wide I wanted it to be. Since I decided to make it abnormally long for more wrap arounds than one can conceive, I kept it more on the skinny side with 4 rows. Now I have to add my tag which I ordered from here and it will officially be done. YAY!

Good thing she doesn't read this...I think. I hope she will enjoy =)

Now on to scarf #2 for my cousin. I'll be sure to post pics when it's done.

Keeping Hope Alive

Etsy Buy Handmade Royale As many of you may know, I have been trying to sell my jeweled creations for the past few months. So far, I have not been having much luck although I have been doing almost everything I read in the Etsy articles on success. There have been endless compliments on my work but no buyers. I can't seem to figure out why that is. Marketing to friends, family and social sites is ok but I need something that will draw in a crowd. Craft fairs perhaps? So far, the Brooklyn Indie Market is looking more appealing everyday. My mom and I stopped by there last Saturday to check out the "goings-ons". Of course I ended up going home with a few handmade items like a great pair of blue earrings made by Flare, white amber oil that I adore by Off The Mat , and a necklace for my mom by the very talented KnitKnit . Shopping in the small flea market made me think it's time to get out there and hustle. I'm going to ask a few crafty friends if they will be interes...

Braided out and loving it!

(Click on Heenara image for prices and info). Product Description Heenara Hair Wash is a natural shampoo for hair wash and hair care. Being free from synthetic chemicals, this shampoo powder is a perfect hair conditioner and tonic. Highly recommended for silky smooth hair. Heenara Hair Herbal Hair Wash advantages: - Natural shampoo and conditioner for hair - Effective hair conditioner and tonic - Removes minor eruptions over scalp - Keeps hair clean and smooth A month after purchasing Heenara, I decided to give it a try. I followed the directions (mix desired amount with water to make a thick paste) and applied it from roots to tips. I wrapped my ends into 2 buns and let it sit for 10 mins (instructions state 5 minutes but I was a little side tracked). After rinsing thoroughly and I mean THOROUGHLY (there are little grits of herbs in the powder wash), I saturated my hair with my concoction of a conditioner (alma, Nyle and olive oils, Pantene Restoration deep conditioner and raw honey)...

Philippe Tournaire

In the midst of a failing economy, I have somehow managed to get enough courage to internet shop again. For the past 4 months, I have been avoiding sites like Ebay, ASOS, Target (especially since the designer series is the greatest thing since sliced bread), and so on and so forth. Obviously from my previous post, I have failed at doing that. By the way, the dress I wanted is sold out. I'm sure I'll find another one. *Sigh* Anywho.... Today I stopped by The beading Gem's Journal to see what new jewelry making tips they had to offer. I came across one of the most brilliant jewelry designers I've ever seen. Philippe Tournaire gives his audience the chance to wear their dream house so they can envision their goal every day. I absolutely LOVE the cathedral ring....being royale and all ;) Here are a few of my other favourites. I find most of his work to be genius and stunning with excellent craftsmanship, but the Architecture collection by far takes the cake. These are tru...
