Be on the lookout for some fabulous felted wool flowers arriving in my shop this coming week.   I've got quite the bouquet ready to list in my shop.. but I just can't do them all in one day.

Check out this preview ~~ with still more in the works: 

Some are pins (so COOL on your jackets, hats and purses) and some are hair ponies (so much fun!)

So stop in often this week so catch the freshest flowers available !

And ENJOY your Thanksgiving this week ♥♥

♥♥ 2000 ♥♥

I have been watching my etsy shop hearts grow since joining etsy in August 2007. Every morning as I sip my coffee the first thing I do is log into my shop and check my hearts. I will browse though their shop if they have one and then browse through their favorites. I have found so many great etsians that way and it has become a morning ritual.

But today I was so excited when I reached 2000 hearts in my shop! This marks a huge milestone for me. Who knew that I would have a great collection of hearts? I love etsy ♥♥♥

My 2000th heart is from flirtbuttons whos shop is filled to the brim with buttons, pocket mirrors, bottle openers, magnets, pendants, earrings, bobby pins, jumbo paper clips, rings and braclets....... Oh, her shop is just the CUTEST!

Here are just some of MY favorites... come find some of YOURS!




Sharon ~~ THANK YOU for visiting my shop and adding me to your favorites! I am just feeling the love today. ♥♥♥

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 ~~

This past week has been hectic to say the least! With the holidays coming quickly and the end of year reports needed to be completed at work, it seems that there is barely time to breathe. But breathe I did. In fact, I was extremely productive this week, which rather surprised me.

New in my shop includes this softer than soft, whiter than white classic cable scarf. Made with a lucious acrylic/wool/nylon blend. I have named her 'White Lily'




Also new are 3 bangles. Two of which are felted using upcycled plastic bottles as the base which shows that being green can be beautiful. And one is a feastive knit covered bangle ~ great for those holiday parties!

Lilacs:


Blue Stripes:


Silver Holday Cable:


This new set of nesting bowls are perfect to keep your holiday goodies hidden in each corner of your home and are appropriate to keep around all year! The maroon, heather and white colors are striking and they have double thick rims for extra sturdiness:

And to show your little one is part of Santa's Elf Team - This adorable set of felted elf booties! The sole measures 4 inches and would fit babies 6-10 months.



I tried something new with the left over yarn from White Lily and came up with a set of snowflake ornaments. Each one has metalic yarn through out and will sparkle when next to the lights on the tree!


And last but not least, this soft peach pin. Look for the matching scarf in my shop!


Whew ~ I think that was alot for one week! And I managed to do some holiday shopping and believe it or not, the laundry is all caught up too! I guess the saying is true... "if you need something done, ask a busy person to do it. They always find the time".

Come on in and visit my shop at http://valeriesgallery.etsy.com. I hope you will have fun!
