Because the customer purchased one of my wash towels in the EFA store and requested three more, I decided to donate all the proceeds (less transaction costs) for the other three towels to the Help the Puppies Campaign! That helped in reaching the goal of completely covering the veterinarian expenses but we are far from the goal. I have donated another wash towel to the EFA store and another one is available at Tantalizing Stitches store so check it out!
Yikes! I’m ecstatic! I just found my mohair crocheted flowers in the Blueberries for Sal Treasury, picked by quirkybags. I’m thrilled!?!?!?!!
My Sunshine String Bikini has been showcased in my friend StarsDreamsandJewels Knifty Knits treasury! How wonderful.
Take a peak at my baby items.
In the normal course of things, C is for cat. For the month of August, however, FAST members have been challenged to create fiber art items with a “Celestial” theme. So, for the month of August, “C is for Celestial!” Take a look!
I just can’t believe it. Both my Tantalizing Minty Newborn Booties and my Tantalizing Minty Newborn Hat were chosen for two different treasuries! The first treasury is called SAINTS or SINNERS? and the second treasury is called Aaahhhhqua. Take a look by clicking the links.
Here is a similar bag as the custom one I just posted. The hat and flower was inspired by the purse – the brim of the hat is Tunisian! This one is made with a mohair blend yarn that I love. Too bad I can’t get anymore of it. It has a nice feel, nice thickness, and great color. I call it the Oh So Mauve Set.
This was my first custom order and I enjoyed the design process. The very nice customer had size (approximate size of purse and handle length) and color (to match the Red Accent Tulucia Machika Cloche she purchased) specifications, which I designed around. I had just purchased small d rings and clips when I went to Japan in May and I was so happy when it worked with the project so nicely. I crocheted the purse in Tunisian. I like the design so much that I created another similar one, which I will post up soon.
Tantalizingstitches.com is now online and ready for business! In celebration of its grand opening, Tantalizing Stitches is giving away a matching crocheted flower with the first ten leis purchased.
In addition, 15% of all crochet sales are donated to help the puppies.
Custom orders are welcomed.
I was inspired by Josi Hannon Madera’s Perfect Pencil Skirt to make something for myself. But instead of those horizontal lines, I was determined to make them vertical both for aesthetic (more slimming appearance) and practical (stretchier fabric) reasons. I tried to figure out where she was adding stitches, which would translate into rows on my skirt.
Unfortunately, like most of my first attempts, it was two short (my stitches were thinner than expected!) and too wide (my rows were too tall!). However, these two problems were not too difficult to fix – I simply added a waistband of rows of back loop crochet at the top while decreasing the number of stitches in each row (this skirt was turned and was not done in the round). I couldn’t understand how to get the elastic in so I just had to settle for the skirt setting lower than I wanted and having the waist so lose (to allow it to go over my hips). Even with the waistband, the skirt was still too short. So I added some fringe on the bottom. Eventually, I gave up because it just wasn’t getting long enough (and you can see the row additions!). I can’t wear this one to work!
