Totally New Thursday Week 5

And it's Thursday again! Wowser! Where has this month gone?

Well, with it being Thursday that means it was time for me to add a NEW item to our shop so as to keep keeping up with one of my New Year's resolutions to add a NEW item every Thursday and then blog about it here for you all to read!

Today's NEW item will make you think of spring! Ta da! Introducing flower pen covers!

As of now, they come in sunflowers:

And daisies:

So which flower is your favorite? You can find both pair listed in our shop here.

Plugging Noses

So I was just in my daughter's room tucking her in for the night when my son comes running to the doorway.

He precedes to tell me, "Mommy, I want to plug my nose under water."

I look over at him to find he has a chip clip attached to his nose. Boys!

Totally New Thursday Week 4

Well, with today being Thursday, that means I have a New Year's resolution to continue to keep: add a NEW item to our Etsy shop and then blog about it here. Although we have a few different types of dish scrubbies already listed, today the NEW listing is an even DIFFERENT design of dish scrubbie!

Ta da! Introducing our popcorn stitch cotton yarn and nylon netting dish scrubbie! So far I've only made the white and light blue one pictured BUT there will be more colors available when I have the time to make them! I'm VERY pleased with how this dish scrubbie turned out! What do you think?

Totally New Thursday Week 3

Time for my totally new Thursday blog post to continue keeping up with one of my two, 2013 New Year's resolutions! I know! I'm a bit LATE with this post but hey, better LATE than not at all, right?

The NEW item added to our Etsy shop tonight is a perfect item to use this summer. Now, we already have this TYPE of item listed in our shop, BUT we don't have this color combo. If you've ever browsed our shop you might have seen our daisy can koozie. Now if you browse our shop you'll also see a sunflower can koozie!

This sunflower can koozie is your totally NEW Thursday item for this week! What do ya think? Do you want one now? :-)

Totally New Thursday Week 2

It's Thursday again and that means it was time for me to add a NEW item to our Etsy shop to keep up with one of my New Year's resolutions to add a NEW item every Thursday this year and then blog about it.

The NEW item I added today was a different kind of potholder than those that were already listed. Usually I make just round potholders but the ones added today were a totally different shape. They were square!

Some time ago while participating in a local craft show, the woman in the booth next to us taught my mother and myself how to crochet potholders with the pattern seen in the pictures. Seemed easy enough so I started two not long after she taught us the pattern.

Well, I never ended up completing those two. Imagine that! This past Christmas I decided to try my hand at this particular pattern again and made a square potholder for my mother-in-law for Christmas. It turned out amazing! I was so pleased with it and so proud of it that I ended up making a black one only rather than using a single crochet stitch like I did for my mother-in-law's, I used a double crochet stitch.

Again I was pleased and proud of it that I wanted to make another one. I let my daughter pick out the color for the next one I tried my hand at. She came back from one of my yarn cabinets with a cheery rainbow colored yarn and ta da, you can see the finished product!

At first I wasn't going to make these type of potholders to sell in our shop as they are a bit more time consuming to make than the round ones, BUT they are just turning out so well that I think I will give it a whirl and make a few from time to time. Keep an eye on our shop here to see what other colors might get added.

That my dear blog readers is your totally NEW Thursday item for this week!
