Wooly Wednesday

These colorful felted wool bangles are fun and funky!  Light as a feather but bold and beautiful, the only thing missing is the bangle sound.

Enjoy your day!

Color!

I just love color ~

I just finished this wholesale order for bangles and I love how they stack up! 

Sunday Morning

Last week was a busy week indeed!  My knitting needles have been clicking away every night and as the weather cools down, I find myself wanting to knit more and more.  There is nothing more soothing than sitting by the fire (well...actually mine is a pellet stove ~ but hey, pretty close) and knitting.

I will be adding several new scarflettes and neckwarmers next week along with some fingerless gloves.  I also have some brand new chunky bangles and some more lariat necklaces coming along. So be on the look out for some great new stuff.

We are also trying to get a few rooms spackled and painted.  We were hoping to get the hallway, pantry and dining room completed by Thanksgiving, but we were sidetracked when my son's truck broke down.  Hubs and son worked 2 weeks to get it back up and running.  So, perhaps the rooms will be done by Christmas.  Keep your fingers crossed!

Ft Drum Craft Fair

You may notice that my shops have only a few items today. I've left knitting patterns and bangles available for purchase, which will be sent when I get back home.

Today I will be at a craft fair at Ft Drum in Watertown, NY.

If you are in the area, please stop in and say hello! If you can't be there, I'll be re-stocked later tonight.

See you then!

Since I began felting a few years ago, I've been trying to make felted bangles. I've had some minor successess and even have a favorite pattern that I use quite often, but I wanted a specific look and feel that I just wasn't able to get... Until now~

I was looking for a wool bangle that was a bit bulky and held it's shape but at the same time was light as a feather. I tried crocheting over a plastic store bought bangle and the result was terrible. It make the opening way too narrow to fit over your hand and it was heavy and clumbsy.

Then I started cutting up soda bottles. I thought that was a great idea, until I started trying to cut those babies. After nearly loosing a few fingers and making a total mess of the bottles I put that idea on the back burner.

So, for awhile I settled on basic thin bangles, which are cute and nice... but I wanted BIG BULKY bangles. Something that was bold and fun and had stability to stand up to everyday use. After a few more trial and errors, I believe I've finally got it!

These bangles are 3/4 inch wide and are double thick for stability. They are bold, beautiful, fun and ohh so light to wear! A basic fun accessory to any outfit - perfect for at the office, a fun night out or just everyday. And best of all ~ they are machine washable!

I'm selling these in sets of 2 at $18. (because two are just more fun that one!) If your looking for a gift for that hard-to-buy-for-friend or co-worker, these are a perfect choice. Be on the look out for new color selections in the coming week and if you don't see the color you want, just contact me and I'll be happy to make a custom order for you.

Felted Bangles

I love these colors together. They remind me of honeydew melon and long summer days!

Electronic Cozies

I am thrilled to show you these cute gadget cozies!

I had a bad habit of just throwing my cell phone in my bag. It would sink to the bottom and get lost. When it rang, I couldn't find the darn thing and more times than not, I missed the call ~ simply because I couldn't find my phone in time. Not to mention how it got scratched!

So I knit up a cozy and tried it for a week. What a difference! The cozy is knit to fit snuggly around the phone and at the same time, slips out smoothly to enable me to answer the call quickly. There are no buttons or snaps to fuss with.


Once I got the sizing right, I knit up 4 of them in orange, yellow, blue and green. When my 19 year old daughter saw them, she had to have her pick of colors (she chose green). She loves it too! She was in the habit of dropping her phone just anywhere and had to call herself to locate her phone (Ackk... like mother, like daughter!!) Now, it is so easy to spot and she never 'looses' her phone any more.


I am offering these for $8 each and will be adding them to my shops regularly if they are popular. And don't forget - my Welcome Spring Sale is going on throughout the weekend and 20% applies to everything ~ Including these! Let me know what colors you would like! Check out my etsy and artfire shops for new ones!

Fiberific Felted Wool Bangles

Newly added to my shops are felted wool bangles. These have all the fun of traditional bangles without the sounds.. so they are safe to wear to the library or any other place where you must be quiet.

Here are the first two sets that I have ready for sale. I plan to have several more sets available in all color shades as I am just having too much fun with them. Be sure to look at the sizes available as I will have small ( 2.62 inches / 6.75 cm ) and large (2.87 inches / 7.5 cm) inside diameter measurement. And of course, if you want a set in any color made especially for you, just contact me and I will be happy to make some for you!
