Adventures in Lace and a Purse!

As I am starting to branch out into lace, I realize I'm taking this one step at a time.  This product is the Diamonds and Eyelets Purse.  It's a cute over-the-shoulder, bag-style purse with a single button on the front for secure closure.  It is also lined with black felt material on the inside so even pens and pencils stand no chance of escape!  Simple and elegant, it's a must-have accessory for anyone on the go!

Branching out into lace has proven to be fun and slightly challenging.  Even so, I am beginning to see the patterns in my work (reading my work) and I look forward to incorporating similar designs into future products!

Adventures in Teaching (OH MY!)

Through a series of events I have been persuaded to teach knitting and crocheting classes at our local Craft Mart store.  It actually started because a new friend noticed that another store in another city was looking for crochet instructors.  So, as it stands, I have four classes lined up at the end of this month, and even if everyone is out of town for them (which I know they won't be), I am grateful for the opportunity!  My first class (last month) went very well!

The featured products for the classes are designed for intermediate to advanced students and are pictured below.  I also have beginner-level patterns available (and will teach the students how to read the patterns).  A variety of colors and patterns are available depending on skill level.

"Tall" and "wide" Soap-On-A-Rope Soap Socks.

"Double Stitch" Cotton Cloth in variegated (top) and two solid colors (bottom).

Adventures in Bookmarks #2

So the first set of bookmarks is at Witt's End Bookstore and I have the second set of bookmarks ready to go!  I have a consignment agreement with them, so when I go to pick up the first set of bookmarks and leave this second set of bookmarks I will put what hasn't sold (if any) on my table at future events.  What do you think about that?  

We have the Beautiful Butterfly bookmarks in the top picture.  These sit with the crocheted tops above and the ribbons are caught in the pages leaving an adorable "butterfly" to save your place.  Below are the Loving Hearts bookmarks (5 on left) and the Victorian Lace bookmarks (2 on right), each made with 12 inches of ribbon woven through the eyelets in the middle.

Many of the bookmark patterns are from the Leisure Arts *Thread Bookmarks* by Wanda Stevens.  This book can be found wherever Leisure Arts instruction books are sold.

I hope you enjoyed this post!

Blessings!
