Sunday Morning

Spring IS coming! We are starting to get to the 40 degree range here and the sun is shinning today. After a long winter, it is so nice to see and feel the sun!

I have quite a few new goodies for you this week including some brand new designs and items. Feel free to leave feedback comments on what you think of them!

I am having a ball making these felted coffee cup cozies. My newest is in a beautiful lavender:


I added a new pair of children's felted slippers in a sweet pink for your little princess:

This cable knit can be used as a choker or headband. I think it is really sweet, but would love to hear what you think:


Two new wine bottle cozies are added to the shop - one in classic cables and one in a rib pattern



And this felted bowl is sure to be my personal favorite. It really makes me think of summer time!


Please visit me on etsy, shophandmade and artfire!

New This Week ~~

For those of you who celebrate Christmas, you know what a busy time of year this can be. This past week I have finished my holiday shopping, wrapped all the gifts, cleaned the house in preparation for overnight visitors and finished up some projects at my day job.

In addition to that, I have been working getting organized for 2009 with brand new banners, labels and inventory. I am so excited to have matching sew-in labels to my new banner and avatar. Look for a contest coming up in January to name my cute little sheep. I think we will have fun with that one! My new banner and avatar was made by hbcorner:


Here are my sew-in labels made by greenbeansnstrings:





I have spent 3 weeks getting my new Artfire studio organized and I am just loving it over there. I still love my etsy shop and will have some great surprises for everyone in 2009 both at ArtFire and etsy!

I was still able to add new items to my shop this past week. Including:

This gorgeous felted bowl ~ Scalloped Blue Bell $25



This lovely knit necklace ~ Lovely Lavender $8


This sweet crocheted pin ~ Winter White with Vintage Button $5



And this chunky, very, very red knit scarfette with wood buttons $25



I will be closing my shop early Monday morning and have a reopening on Saturday December 27 so I can enjoy time with my family.

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and more importantly, enjoys their friends and families during this coming week! Merry Christmas everyone ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫

New This Week ~~

With the Holidays creeping up quickly and so many, many things to do I've still managed to sneak a few new items in my shop.

I have most of my holiday shopping done. Uh huh... I said most. Nothing like waiting till the last minute. But like most people this year, we have made a commitment not to charge any gift / holiday costs. So, the shopping trickles with each payday. With 10 days left till Christmas, that is only one payday left. Ready or not, Christmas will come.

Valerie's Gallery offers affordable unique gifts, with many items still on clearance (50 - 70% off) that will still be shipped in time for the holidays (I would say continental US would make it in time, maybe not for International).

I am also slowly morphing my shop into a fresh new and exciting place for 2009. I have a new banner, avatar and even newly name sections that make shopping fun.

Here is what is new this week ~

Knit Scarfette - Classic Cable - White Fairy Dust $25. Made with fantastic vintage buttons!


Knit Necklace - Grey Choker $8. This is semi-felted by using an acrylic and wool mix.


Crocheted Flower Pin - Mint Cream $5. This is so soft and fun.


Knit Scarfette - Lavender Luxury $24. Softness surpreme!


Felted Bowl - Seafoam Green $18. The black base and green combination is fantastic.


Felted Coin Purse - Maroon $16. Sweet blue flowers with tiny beads make this unique.


Felted Bowl - Simple Pleasures $18. Nice felted goodness!


So now you see all my new items. Please come in and visit my shop while it is under construction for 2009. I will offer you a free cup of cyber coffee while you are there... LOL ♥
