It's Been Such a Long Time

Hmmmm, it's been such a long time since I posted here.  I was trying to keep 2 blogs, one for just my jewelry and another one for my knitting and everything else about me.  My other blog is Uli's Needleworkworld.  It kind of got too much to maintain two individual sites and I thought about why I should separate myself into two blogs.  I figured my faithful readers of my other blog would be interested in me as a whole and not just "all about Uli" minus the jewelry and business aspect.  So I started combining posts about "all of it" including my Etsy shop and my jewelry and abandoned this blog over here.  But I like the set-up over here and just figured I should pop back in and see what I can do to keep this one alive, too.  I wonder if anyone pops in to read along here?  Probably not.

We had a busy Christmas and with craft fairs almost every weekend in November, things certainly heated up leading to Christmas.  I did okay at the craft fairs except my first one was rained out and my last one snowed out.  Can you believe it???  The forces of nature interfered with me twice.  Here's one picture of my set-up:

 

 

 

Small and inexpensive but fun was my craft show best-seller, the guardian angel cell phone charm:

 

I had these guys in all kinds of little colours and am totally sold out now.  I'd like to make some more and might have an order for a whole bunch of them going to Germany in the new year.

And to kind of work my love for knitting into it, I've been working on lots of these little chell phone charms just suited for a little knitting gift for a friend or a secret pal:

 

 

And here is one for those who love to crochet:

 

I have a few other styles including one with a sweater in progress, a ball of yarn with needles, and a spinning wheel.  More will appear in the shop as soon as I can get some decent pictures but the two I'm showing are currently up for grabs here and here. (oh, and here and here - I forgot about those).

I've also been doing a bit of knitting and am showcasing some cuddly and fun coloured toddler mittens - and yes, I have and will continue to make adult ones in the same bright colours if requested.

 

 

Aren't these fun - both sets of mittens are toddler (size 2-4) sized. 

So that's what's new!!!  I've been busy, busy, busy.
