I'm really excited to report that I've sold my first original, non-commissioned artwork on Etsy!

Don't get me wrong, I've sold other portraits and paintings, but so far they have all been special requests for new artwork.  I feel like it's a big accomplishment.

ALSO, this sale was my 300th sale on Etsy!  Woo hoo for milestones!!!
This content has moved to my snazzy new website.

But don't worry, you can still find it here:

New Storenvy site

Just as a head's up for those of you who follow along, I'm working on opening a new store front through Storenvy.

I'll be gradually uploading products this month and changing a few of my links to point to that site.

How does Storenvy work?

It's very much like any other e-commerce site.  You do not have to create an account to make a purchase (just choose "guest" at checkout).  Payments are processed through PayPal.  So it's really very similar to the way Etsy is set up.

Why the change?

While I've really enjoyed selling on Etsy, they charge listing, renewal, and commission fees.  It's not much, but when you have over 100 items, it does add up.  Storenvy also allows me to do a lot more customization than Etsy.

What about you Etsy shop?

It's going to stay online, but I may eventually take some of my under-performing products off my Etsy shop and put them on Storenvy so I can save myself the cost of renewals on Etsy.

Do you ever buy a scarf and think great, I'll wear it for 3 months and throw it in the closet?  I hate that feeling. 

So I've started making these nice long fringed shawls with the aim of having them be year round, 3-in-1 shawls.  In spring/fall, you can use them as a trendy shawl, but in summer they make a great beach/pool cover up and in winter they can be wrapped to make a cozy fringed scarf.

I have one for sale and ready to go now here.

I'm also working on 2 custom orders and the pattern for this (it's in testing now).  So watch for more updates on this one soon.

Happy National Pet Day!

I'm celebrating with a contest that will run through the end of the month, and the prize will be one of my popular winter hats (Santa, elf, beanie - winner gets to choose).

You can participate on my Facebook page, you'll just need your pet's head measurement and a photo to join in the fun.

I've been working on a shawl pattern pretty relentlessly.  After making my third shawl in this beautiful turquoise yarn, I had almost a whole skein leftover.  It wasn't enough for another shawl, but I wanted to something with it.

So...

Naturally I made a fringed dog scarf / bandanna.  :-)

I don't make my bandannas the traditional way, where they tie around the back.  My dog seems to get irritated by things like that.  Instead I just make a big open loop that slips over her head. Whether it's a bandanna, a Christmas wreath, or a scarf, she'll wear anything that's made that way.
