Vintage Knitting Bag

I created this banner for Etsy. I think they are so fickle on the dimensions though. I wanted it to be a little bigger, but this will suffice I suppose.

On my favorites, is a vintage knitting bag that I would LOVE to buy! Unfortunately it's a lil too expensive. It's 30$. I suppose it's worth it..I just don't wanna waste my money on it now. I'm gonna wait until I reach one of my personal goals.

Etsy Shop of the Week

Available for sale on Etsy. My chosen shop of the week. These are by:verityunmondoaparte .

Valentine's Day

I'm knitting another scarf right now. It's Coral thread with white fun fur. It's going to look really pretty! While knitting that one, I am also working on a solid white one for my Granny's birthday in Feb. Throughout the knitting, I also am crocheting on 3 scarves and 1 afghan. I dunno when I will finish them all! AH! I ALSO am making jewelry, my theme right now is Valentine's Day! Making heart earrings and bracelets! Some of my Valentine's Day creations are available on Etsy and I've already sold a heart earring! <3

New Scarf

Recently I discovered a new kind of scarf. Crocheting a normal scarf and adding a flower band onto the to the center and give the scarf a new look. Pictures are below!

I am starting a navy blue one right now that will have a white edge on it and perhaps a flower also. You can read more on it here. This particular scarf above is on my Etsy for sale: Lime Green with Turquoise Flower Handmade Crochet Scarf.

Thanks for reading & comment!

New Year's Resolutions

Happy Belated New Years everyone! Sassy Chic here stayed up past 1am bringing in the new year thanks to thundering and rain. It was great though, not too much bad weather.

I made a new year resolution on my private page, but I also made some that I want to add to the list:

• Make new and different jewelry
• Learn how to crochet and knit different things
• Sew pillows, dresses and purses
• Finish my quilt
• Make a embroidery quilt
• Reorganize my books and see if I can throw any away
• Save up money for a new digital camera(almost there!)

Just a few crafty things I want to complete. I hope to make some dresses like these if I can:

Talk to y'all later, hope you enjoyed my latest weblog. Please comment and rec! :~)
Much love,

I will list them tonight or tomorrow. :) I am almost finished with a purple and white scarf. My cat has tried his best to play with the ball of yarn so I had to get a scrap and taped it on the computer table and he's statisfied now. :)

I am fixing to list some earrings, key chains and cell phones charms on Etsy. I invite you to click on my store to see what all I have listed there. Here are some pictures of what's going to be listed on there:

That's it for today! Hope you enjoyed seeing different pictures of my creations & my darlin' kitty! ~<3

Crochet Flower Scarf

Recently me and my grandmother decided to created a new scarf. We made a pink scarf with a flower at the center. First time to crochet a scarf. Anyways, I listed it on Etsy and sold it a few days later. We're going to make some more scarfs, but here's the picture of the one we had made.

My Veteran's Day Artwork

Yes, I also create collages. For special occasions, songs, movies, etc. Before Veteran's Day I made a collage in remembrance. I thought I'd share them with y'all.

Listed on Etsy & Sold

I've sold three items this week on Etsy. I was beyond surprise and happy! My first sales! One is going to New York and one is going to California! I was amazed that this time I actually sold something! Let me back up. A year ago, I tried Etsy and failed. Nothing I listed sold, so I dropped the site and focused on eBay. Then, somehow, Etsy beckoned me back, so I re-joined.

These items sold this week on Etsy.


Silver Cross Handmade Earrings.


Turquoise Mother-of-Pearl Handmade Earrings.


Vintage Inspired Red Teardrop Handmade Earrings, Relisted on Etsy.

Now, hopefully, my feedback will be 3 at 100% positive! I'm so excited! I have a huge box full of ready made earrings, but I really want to make more. I have to sell some more before I can buy more materials...that's mine and my Dad's deal. I can do it, I know I can! If y'all want to check out my Etsy shop, here's the link ---> CraftyChic90.

That's it for today. Take care!
With Love,

Colorful Chandelier Earrings

I recently made this earring and am now going to list it on Etsy. I really think the chandelier makes the entire earrings! The beads were just a mix I put together. Worked rather well, I think. These earrings are going to be listed at $2.99 and $2.00 shipping. I've sold some similar to these around town for $3.00 each, so I decided to keep the price the same.

I ran out of ideas how to display the earrings for the photoshoot. I was grasping at strings here when I saw my seashell vase. It worked surprisingly well! I was rather proud of myself! ha ha. Some earrings didn't show up good on the vase, but I was able to alternate them on a different vase. I was just tired of using the cloth display pillow. I want to add colors to my displays! Click here to view the listing.

Now, back to the Etsy world of listing! Until next time my fellow readers and creators!

Vintage Heart Earrings

A few months back, I went through my mama's jewelry box. I hoped to find something vintage, classy to wear. I came across a silver loop the had some beads on it and another loop that was broken. The wires were rusted and it looked like it needed to be thrown away. Well, I decided to repair it and keep it for myself. It took awhile, but I found some hoops and wires, voila! It looks like a really pretty vintage, classy earring that matches everything!


Are they not the cutest things? I wore them this past Sunday night at church and several people loved them. Of course, I told them I repaired them..but I am pretty sure I can actually make something like this. Although, it was a pain to repair--but I love the outcome!

Blog Hop Friday Nite!

Well, this is my first time joining a blog hop as Sassy Chic! I've done it several times with my writing blog, Pioneer Writer. So, I was looking and looking, trying to find people to follow and asking them to check my site out. I came across Sassy Sites! which totally should include me, haha! Anyways, I decided to do her blog hop, here's the link.

Seriously, go check her site out, it's super cool!

Anyways, as I wrote on my Xanga of SassyChic10, I am going to start creating some fairytale jewelry. Ya know, the pink pearls....6 strand necklace...crystal earrings...etc. I want to make something like this(and I certainty will try!):

That's it for tonight!

My Favorite Necklace

"I have a lot of jewelry." My friends would say that is an understatement! But most of my jewelry I made myself. I taught myself at sixteen to make jewelry. Then in '08, I started selling them. They sell pretty good in my small town, so I broadened my horizon by selling online. I use the online selling sites, eBay and Etsy. I do pretty good, if I say so myself. I've wanted to have a blog talking about stuff I sell and things I make, so I decided to create this one for that purpose. I've started taking pictures of the new things I create and this will be a good way to share them, also while streaming with photobucket, perhaps.

At a gathering last year with my best friends, I asked them all to bring pendants to create necklaces. Mine was a turquoise themed necklace, as turquoise is my all-time favorite color. Below is the picture I took of it this year.

I used a metal framed turquoise with brown flowers pendant. The beads are turquoise stones that matches well with the pendant. I used stretchy string, I need to word that one better. I also used silver plated heart clasp for easy ons and offs. This necklace measures around 18" long, which reaches about 6" inches away from neck.

I really love this necklace, as it is my favorite I have ever made. I want to make more like this, but I haven't brought myself to do so. It takes a lot of work and measuring to get it just right. Maybe I will create one in the future.

By the way, the necklace is pictured on a crocheted fan that my grandmother made for me. I thought it blended well with this lovely necklace.

Leave a comment if you have time, I would greatly appreciate it and respond back!
