Sold my V-stitch Shawl Pattern to a woman in Australia!

Last week a woman in Australia bought my crochet pattern for the V-Stitch shawl. I think it is so amazing how people can connect all over the world. Here I am in little Rhode Island and a woman in Australia noticed me....well, noticed my pattern, lol. It is neat thinking that in the near future several people might be wearing something I designed on another continent.

I sold 7 pieces of jewelry last week. Two were custom orders to make earrings to match a bracelet and another set to match a necklace. I have a jewelry show coming up on the 16th. I am gathering everything together and making a few more pieces. I think I will bring some of my loose pendants and gemstones and make some pieces right there if someone wants custom made things. Exciting!

Sold a Pattern!

I just sold a pattern on Etsy for my Sweet X's Valentine's Basket that I made in collaboration with the lady who tested my Sweet X's Baby Hat. I am so excited! It is great to know that people like what I make. I know there are two people making my V-Stitch shawl right now and can't wait to see pics.

I have added a few more pieces to my jewelry store too. There are people looking at it. I wish people could leave comments that only the seller could see so I would know what people think about the jewelry and prices. I am working on new tags for my first jewelry show in March. Have to head out to the craft store once the snow clears a bit.

Water Lily Jewelry

I posted some new jewelry in my etsy store called Water Lily (necklace, bracelet, and earrings). They use Green Aventurine, Black Obsidian, sterling silver, and a glass pendant with a beautiful flower in it. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=40218094

Some items to come are Purple Abyss necklace, bracelet, and earrings, Ice Blue set, and Chocolate Silk. Mmmm...

I am also working on a baby blanket crochet pattern. I have the pattern all figured out, now just need to write it out, and finish making the blanket for photos. It is made with 2 strands of Bernat Baby Jaquards in Berries & Cream.

My first sale!!

I made my first official sale in my etsy store today!! Yesterday I posted my new V-Stitch Shawl pattern I designed and it sold today!! I was so thrilled. Another friend "won" a pattern of her choice and she also picked the shawl pattern so there are two people out there making my shawl right now.

I also added a Valentine's/Easter Basket pattern to my etsy store. A woman who tested my Sweet X's Baby Hat pattern collaborated with me on it to turn it into a basket. Her daughter loved the hat and needed a card box for her classroom Valentine's party so wanted to use the hat as a basket. Within a few days we had it all figured out and now we are waiting to see how that pattern does.
