I'm joining the <a href="http://www.gsheller.com/2012/01/yarn-along-60.html">Yarn Along</a> over at Small Things again this week. It amazes how quickly a week passes by. I didn't get any reading done this week (I know, horrifying right?) so I am still on <span style="font-style: italic;">Eggs, Beans and Crumpets - </span><span>and I have </span>been listening to a collection of Sherlock Holmes dramatized shorts stories I received for Christmas. Even though I did not read much this week I did manage to get some crocheting done. I finished the white and am on the final leg of the scarf, the orange stripe! I had hoped to finish this week, but we had a very busy week, so I didn't quite manage that. My mom and I have been having lots of fun knitting/crocheting with friends every week, which is where I manage to get most of my work done. We also went on a mini vacation to the east side of the Phoenix Metrop this weekend - though we never even made it into phoenix proper. Mom and I went to a delightful yarn shop and I got several more colors for my ripple afghan! Anyway, enough chit chat, here is my picture this week.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCd43FugTTHJ94uMNNxDb4zE9QLxdzw82lAwuB0LEhtNvdZ7tn3svxktAnqFEiXhn1dHOM8j877DS4WxNCONNnt9a9ITHaqZzTcIc8VTDU7st6dNo-gZlQUkdSiBFp66kgTDGBGQ/s1600/IMG_8774.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 314px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCd43FugTTHJ94uMNNxDb4zE9QLxdzw82lAwuB0LEhtNvdZ7tn3svxktAnqFEiXhn1dHOM8j877DS4WxNCONNnt9a9ITHaqZzTcIc8VTDU7st6dNo-gZlQUkdSiBFp66kgTDGBGQ/s320/IMG_8774.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5696489052901568226" border="0" /></a><br />Much tea has been consumed while crocheting this scarf, so I decided my cup of Lady Grey deserved a cameo this week.<br /><br />Have a fantastic week, Hopefully I'll have a new project to write about next week!<br /><br />~ElissaElissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03126875812889817734noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20390478.post-10212276045122762942012-01-04T17:36:00.003-07:002012-01-04T17:49:20.812-07:00Yarn Along {Wodehouse and a White Stripe}Hey there, I'm joining Ginny's Yarn Along again over at <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.gsheller.com/2012/01/yarn-along-59.html">Small Things</a><span style="text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;">.</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDhnl0T-OxM76mPIi8apRMzOUYe1OBgUyM4pGwtwOx7iWvaR1gIJlyVS3bubKmVM5YDtTge_QM5vYJGxVxMb3n5ckY5-DRBdJZE_j463L1nbUvoMLyxKN4ojkHhCoNrn24PtSulQ/s1600/IMG_8705.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDhnl0T-OxM76mPIi8apRMzOUYe1OBgUyM4pGwtwOx7iWvaR1gIJlyVS3bubKmVM5YDtTge_QM5vYJGxVxMb3n5ckY5-DRBdJZE_j463L1nbUvoMLyxKN4ojkHhCoNrn24PtSulQ/s320/IMG_8705.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693943050245873218" border="0" /></a><br />Today I'm working on the white stripe of my Ireland scarf.

I really enjoyed the prequel to it - <span style="font-style: italic;">The Other Mr. Darcy</span> which is a spin off of Jane Austen's <span style="font-style: italic;">Pride and Prejudice</span>. I'm not sure if I like this one yet, and I'm half way through. I don't <span style="font-style: italic;">dislike </span>it, but I'm just not sure if I like it yet, if that makes any sense at all - but I am withholding further judgement until I complete the book. I don't really read fan sequels, I'm too much a purist, but I did enjoy the Other Mr. Darcy a lot, and I hope this one turns out as enjoyable!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by,<br />~ElissaElissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03126875812889817734noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20390478.post-68251292252366333092011-11-16T14:32:00.007-07:002011-11-16T14:51:45.383-07:00It's beginning to look alot like Christmas..Every etsy store you go..<br />Or something.<br />Well my shop is decked out for Christmas anyway.

What is not to love?!<br />oh if I only had the spending money!!<br /><a style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);" href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/67456602/green-jelly-bean-baby-owl-felted-wool">http://www.etsy.com/listing/67456602/green-jelly-bean-baby-owl-felted-wool</a><br /><br /><a href="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.214505286.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 401px; height: 256px;" src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.214505286.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />I also love love love mugs and cups, my mugs and cups fill my bedroom and pretty much every dish cabinet in our home. This is probably because I am a voracious drinker of both coffee and tea. Sometimes both in the same day.<br />Here are just a few of my favorites from around etsy<br /><br />How cute is this? A teacup on a mug, perfection!<br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204);font-size:130%;" >by<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/mollyhatch"> mollyhatch</a></span><br /><a style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);" href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/67634945/cup-on-cup-blue-bird">http://www.etsy.com/listing/67634945/cup-on-cup-blue-bird</a><br /><a href="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.215250634.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 329px; height: 219px;" src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.215250634.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />*Squeal* This is SOO cute.

I thought I'd pop in and show some of the stuff I've been creating recently.<br /><br />With Valentine's day right around the corner I've been making lots of things with hearts and such.<br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/67307327/pink-and-red-umbrella-valentiness-card">My newest umbrella card is a valentines card.</a><br /><br />Whimsical pink clouds drop hearts instead of raindrops...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/67307327/pink-and-red-umbrella-valentiness-card"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtcYkZbJs2emyXyBPzgO8YuRO-fWSapg9NSpeblgamAo4yY18BXI_mE-2n8HTArFBB6uMTSyHsQXBi-4xQ8sMUp12D-LYX12dHrR1lo_5mRm1ei1OLL8SkCpaHQahzmLekv8urDQ/s320/IMG_5439.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569553453482525458" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I made this cute little box about a week ago. I wanted to list it in the shop, but mom pointed out that we didn't have a box to ship it in and we didn't really know what to price it as far as shipping goes, so I'll probably be giving it as a gift or just keep it for myself :)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaGdzACAWaf_XLJ7KXyXeLa7LA5OMpYPFxeCIz7KlTzLsmdIxzFoJE230A9rbk-zcViu7Bc1JKxtUhaSWnx-buZ3M1JjGZ1EoXibAb8XkY550LET7gdOphC-0LtWkz5-E2azLBig/s1600/IMG_5334.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaGdzACAWaf_XLJ7KXyXeLa7LA5OMpYPFxeCIz7KlTzLsmdIxzFoJE230A9rbk-zcViu7Bc1JKxtUhaSWnx-buZ3M1JjGZ1EoXibAb8XkY550LET7gdOphC-0LtWkz5-E2azLBig/s320/IMG_5334.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569554765909677458" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I found this cute vintage-valentine paper at hobby-lobby a couple months ago when we were in Phoenix. I used stickles glitter on the top to accent some of the cute images. I also took some vintage red ric-rac and wrapped it around the sides of the lid and completed it with my favorite red polka-dot ribbon.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4mhMxlp_4ahvmTlfXKlwRSpnw4l4CSM2joH4OMVyz0oa0uL__YjUTS2VRcXiGJALYCc7TVwo90TJTHCr4-1Oe5YmDHE4jpb0VMwJSR1IhzYiGdR5n8ETDUkTUCFVn8RvylnZTnA/s1600/IMG_5336.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4mhMxlp_4ahvmTlfXKlwRSpnw4l4CSM2joH4OMVyz0oa0uL__YjUTS2VRcXiGJALYCc7TVwo90TJTHCr4-1Oe5YmDHE4jpb0VMwJSR1IhzYiGdR5n8ETDUkTUCFVn8RvylnZTnA/s320/IMG_5336.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569554772725209218" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This is another card I made a few weeks ago, it was originally for my shop, but we had heard that shipping square cards cost more to post, so I would hate for someone to buy a card and then have to pay more than usual to ship it, so we need to confirm that before we list any square cards. :) So I'll just keep this one to myself.

So here is the promised post, albeit a bit delayed.<br /><br />I wanted to give you a peek into the newest card in the shop <span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);">"My Sunshine" </span><br /><br />A few days ago, I think it was Wednesday, I was too sick to craft, but after seeing a poster with some of the lyrics to the song "You are my sunshine" in bright sunny yellow, I had the inspiration to make this card. I've been itching to use our adorable new stamp set from <a href="http://papertreyink.com/">PTI</a> called "Scattered Showers" that has an adorable umbrella, so even though I couldn't craft, I grabbed my sketch book and roughly sketched this out.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">eek. My umbrella makes me cringe. But give me some slack, I hadn't slept in a while, and I sketched it in about 10 seconds :)</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmwu5DBV-BDKInJFVnZjNC0xC4zFcyHQZ2bn1lugbMYwwc68DmPc1jPXxZ5JO6N8LSr4prWYQv5r3HiHNX8u5iyfA9C4PCwyXi7fDd7CcKOOWoJRLVXO1QwnTiG8ctQU2Q48n6wQ/s1600/IMG_5378.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmwu5DBV-BDKInJFVnZjNC0xC4zFcyHQZ2bn1lugbMYwwc68DmPc1jPXxZ5JO6N8LSr4prWYQv5r3HiHNX8u5iyfA9C4PCwyXi7fDd7CcKOOWoJRLVXO1QwnTiG8ctQU2Q48n6wQ/s320/IMG_5378.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567488521127438610" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Which a day or so later I cleaned up into this<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo6BGpYk1zbi60UnDOUr4LR8wcvL3alq5sVA0N08c7IavoBBog5ljea3mzHElXtmaKKPGGWFd7cRtfmWs_VHdMTi688_WWfHM5POHvhSr1MtKfhX9zH4K4UsFfj8xeeaozNAo93g/s1600/IMG_5379.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo6BGpYk1zbi60UnDOUr4LR8wcvL3alq5sVA0N08c7IavoBBog5ljea3mzHElXtmaKKPGGWFd7cRtfmWs_VHdMTi688_WWfHM5POHvhSr1MtKfhX9zH4K4UsFfj8xeeaozNAo93g/s320/IMG_5379.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567486816788806546" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">That is not my normal handwriting, but I knew I wanted something simple and so I printed instead of my cutesy handwriting :)<br /><br /></span><br />I finally started to feel a bit better yesterday, so I whipped up this prototype, and while I love it, it wasn't quite shop worthy. I absolutely loved the rounded corners on the word box, So I decided to make the next card with rounded corners.<br />The Card in Progress. As you can see I'm a rather messy crafter.

The pages between the dividers are printing paper, and the rest of the papers and stamps and the dies I used to cut some of the shapes are from Papertreyink.com<br /><br />I hope you enjoyed a look at my recent project! It really came in handy this weekend as I planned out my gifts and when mom and I went on a big Christmas shopping trip yesterday. It's helped me get organized, and I have way more acomplished this year than I ever have at this point. I have all but one gift bought, and all I have left are the handmade gifts, which are actually the bulk of my gifts this year, especially for my friends.<br /><br />Since I do have so many handmade gifts left to finish it might be a week or so until my next post, but I hope you enjoy the posts that are up right now.<br /><br />If you love this planner but don't want to make one, I am accepting custom orders for these until the beginning of December. If you would like to order one, you can leave a comment here, or more preferably send me a conversation (convo) on etsy. You can do this by going to <a href="http://delightfulhands.etsy.com/">http://delightfulhands.etsy.com</a> and click "contact" on the lefthand side of the page.<br /><br /><br />Have a lovely week and a wonderful Thanksgiving!<br />~Elissa<br /><br />Don't forget to visit the shop on Friday!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsp3C7Q7OxJyVU0Rkk1__4e7l2OM74TpFmdP9nBSQXIWAy_EZ2YYH4y40V0pQj1PVRuym4ggVJPkFMIereuoVYUg6l9GmSsvM-1exo64siT4l3i-kwWYdXH2dTRZbYNiYqT8Z40w/s1600/button4.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 216px; height: 198px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsp3C7Q7OxJyVU0Rkk1__4e7l2OM74TpFmdP9nBSQXIWAy_EZ2YYH4y40V0pQj1PVRuym4ggVJPkFMIereuoVYUg6l9GmSsvM-1exo64siT4l3i-kwWYdXH2dTRZbYNiYqT8Z40w/s320/button4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542227126124884802" border="0" /></a>Elissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03126875812889817734noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20390478.post-9737094318766392712010-11-21T17:40:00.000-07:002010-11-21T17:03:19.187-07:00An Etsy Christmas!Okay, this isn't the Christmas project post I promised, but that <span style="font-style: italic;">is </span>coming. I promise!<br /><br />I wanted to share something with y'all that no one else has seen and will not be displayed in the shop until Thanksgiving day! My new shop header/banner! I would really like your feedback on this... thought and suggestions please! :)<br />I designed this a few days ago, and all the graphics - snowflakes, snow and penguin are my own original designs. My graphics program is ancient and isn't handling text so well anymore, so I used picnik.com to do the text. They have such fun fonts anyway, much better than the ones I have, so I'm quite pleased. The transfer from picnik to my computer did leave a lot to be desired, as it has compressed the quality, but overall I am quite pleased with the finished product.<br />This is the one that will be up in the shop before and during my black Friday Sale (10% off everything in the shop!)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTp67LqEQDmeh-K-YWKGf0q1wDPaA0Zwh5QeqEYvivZS4hl9Qx-OaHo8t-GvhWRVEsrpWE9aEG8W_n-Dp7xA3uW9ov7_zN6ZnJTIhcGna1ORzaJLPMZE0u7lb_bbbSvhpPQOJXEQ/s1600/penguin+banner+black+friday2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 42px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTp67LqEQDmeh-K-YWKGf0q1wDPaA0Zwh5QeqEYvivZS4hl9Qx-OaHo8t-GvhWRVEsrpWE9aEG8W_n-Dp7xA3uW9ov7_zN6ZnJTIhcGna1ORzaJLPMZE0u7lb_bbbSvhpPQOJXEQ/s320/penguin+banner+black+friday2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542151630659762434" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And this is the one that will be up through the rest of the year and possibly January.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHUhkP8ztpsCi_4fF8QG0zV0Kfqfo_fE9rFEFd6if_hGQQGdcTIQJWTkBhbCXm23ruxH4G2cfPIoFbibFvSos06nkJVeu_i3m8q5-BsDJP3RPYap8tfn16J7RRFbTVZDTvuhnTxA/s1600/penguin+banner+regular.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 42px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHUhkP8ztpsCi_4fF8QG0zV0Kfqfo_fE9rFEFd6if_hGQQGdcTIQJWTkBhbCXm23ruxH4G2cfPIoFbibFvSos06nkJVeu_i3m8q5-BsDJP3RPYap8tfn16J7RRFbTVZDTvuhnTxA/s320/penguin+banner+regular.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542151675334057666" border="0" /></a><br /><br />So, if you have anything thoughts, leave a comment!<br /><br />I also wanted to share some adorable Christmas items from my favorites and from a friend's shop<br />If you are looking for beautiful handmade Christmas items or gifts, etsy is a great place to go!<br /><br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);" href="http://prettywit.etsy.com/">Pretty Wit</a><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"> </span>is a shop shared by a lovely group of sisters, and their shop is so fun, whimsical and colorful, and just love to sit and browse.

We haven't posted in over a year! Gracious! We've had a hard year though. Hopefully now that I plan to be posting a bit more readership will go up a bit!<br />I'm reopening this blog because I am finally going to try and keep my etsy shop steadily stocked and open for business, with an occasional sale here and there maybe! Speaking of sales, one of the reasons for this post is to alert you all that we are having a Black Friday sale on November 26 from Midnight to Midnight! We'll be offering everything in the store for 10% off! (and shh... maybe even a free gift tag thrown in an occasional package!)<br />The discount code is <span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">" HAPPYFRIDAY10 "</span> just punch it in at checkout and your 10% will be taken off!<br />While we're talking of Etsy, I thought I'd share with you a few new things in the shop. I'll be adding a bunch of new tags, a few cozies, and maybe a few Christmas cards over the next few days, so keep your eyes peeled!<br /><br />Here a some pictures of the tag sets I've recently posted:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0LuH2WqSp7mBgSnRS9xHm9i4DoymLRJMhPWzW216YZUC5XTeJHHHUBUHFIgOQE3rNCaqxyiDy28jKRy_nM4RdyiMk29D4aq3ZhFL_RTt2KA8fk44-u6Wq1JPl3ASuoFVvU7V2mQ/s1600/IMG_4321.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;

I had ran out of my favourite fabric and made it with a green fabric instead and I just was not happy with it. When Joann's started putting out their Autumn fabric they had my favourite fabric again so I bought some more and remade this banner. I am so much happier with it!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI6DlxdM47y76ra_ZCNl7trtUf0cRrzUOj_j45Dt3gVxVMpNRmk9jPRuFm0IRBqmNaRypXMVkyKhRbAfbGnUNEzf8xPskvE-xYS2GTFQSILDp_8Q5WCfD5gxQK8JQlFu3c6Aqg/s1600-h/IMG_0059+(Medium).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386277811286512338" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI6DlxdM47y76ra_ZCNl7trtUf0cRrzUOj_j45Dt3gVxVMpNRmk9jPRuFm0IRBqmNaRypXMVkyKhRbAfbGnUNEzf8xPskvE-xYS2GTFQSILDp_8Q5WCfD5gxQK8JQlFu3c6Aqg/s400/IMG_0059+(Medium).JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Autumn is in the Air by <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Brittercup</span> Designs<br /><br />I finished this one recently and just picked up from the framers last week.
