New Crayon Rolls

Not all kids like crayons, although I still love the smell of them and they way they can blend.  However, my own children are getting older and they prefer using pencil crayons now.

So, I've made a few Pencil Crayon Rolls for the upcoming sale.   Pencil crayons are still on the school supply list in junior high, so these should have a longer useful life span than the wax crayon rolls (depending on their artistic preferences, I suppose).  

I don't know about you, but my experience is that you never ever use a pencil crayon until it's small.  My children seem to want a new set of crayons before that happens.  That may be because they lose their favourites.  These rolls will stop the loss.

Also, I just noticed that they sell short pencil crayons now.  That just makes sense to me, so I made a couple of rolls for the half-size pencil crayons. 

Full size pencil crayon roll (including 19 crayons)     $9

Half size pencil crayon roll (including 17 crayons)  $7

Buntings/Banners

These are fun to make and more fun to decorate with. 

Imagine it with your child's name on it, or happy birthday, welcome home, home sweet home, congratulations, or "You Did It!" 

Or in whites and silver for a wedding or anniversary. 

I haven't personalized any but my own so far.  Mine will hang above my table at craft sales, and on the plain side in our bedroom between sales.  

Also available in warmer, country colours.

Stringy wires

Okay, so I tried something new this week and really liked the result.

I liked them so much so that I wore two of them this week.  They look good in combination.

Then I had to make two more to replace them.    I can't keep doing that!  I'm barely keeping up with my own jewelry desires.

To keep them affordable so that you can buy combinations and because they appeal to kids too, these are only $10.  These are the colors and lengths that I have in stock right now, but if you want a different length or color palette, let me know.

Washroom People

I've made two pairs of these in the last little while.  Beth took one pair because she really wanted them.

So I made another.  Then I started wearing them. 

Of all the jewelry we've made, these receive the most comments from strangers.  Now I'll have to make a few more pairs to sell, which was the point when I started this!

And for $8 I'd be happy to make you a pair too.

I try not to keep many items in stock so that you can customize them as you'd like.  Maybe you want an orange lunch bag, or your name twisted into a necklace.  Or your crayon roll needs to fit 5 crochet hooks instead of 12 crayons.   Talk to me and we'll try to make something uniquely you. 

Back in business!

Okay, so I depleted a lot of my Christmas stock, but the girls and I are busy restocking for a spring sale on April 14.  I'll start posting my new products soon. 

Here's what I'm hoping to sell this time:

• Aprons
• Bracelets (I have some new ideas for these)
• Newsboy hats - I love these!  I'm going to make one for myself too.
• Fabric organizer boxes
• Beaded bookmarks

I've got two months to work on it all and I'll keep you posted on items as they come up.
