My new project: My Little Saint Dolls

By on December 5, 2010 in Handmade, My Little Saint Dolls

I have been dying to share with all of you but being the control freak that I am, I could not show my newest project until I had everything I wanted done.  I did not get everything done but I feel that I have enough to share.

Two years ago I decided to make a line of Catholic dolls, toys and Catholic items.

Introducing…Prudence and Virtue Etsy Shop!  My new little shop is now open, here are some of the items you can find inside:

                                                                       Saint Therese of the Little Flower
Saint Bernadette
Sister Mary Margaret
Saint Germaine Cousin
each doll wears Mary Janes
Immaculate Heart of Mary Hand Embroidered Wool scapular
Sacred Heart of Jesus hand embroidered scapular
and lots more to come… in the next couple of days I am working on Saint Michael the ArchAngel, Saint George and the dragon and Saint Giana Molla for customers who have requested them.  Who do you think I should make? I would love to hear your ideas. I am hoping to get some beautiful veils in thep shop too.
Actually what I have not gotten to is making a Prudence and Virtue doll.  The shop was named Prudence and Virtue because for a long time I have been planning two dolls with those names.  They are Catholic sisters and  have many adventures together.  I promise to introduce you to them when they come to life.

What I’ve been up to… lots of crochet

By on November 30, 2010 in crochet, Handmade, Handmade Christmas Challenge

So to get us all caught up on each other again, here is what else I have been up to.  For some reason, whether it be nerves or whatnot, I need to keep my brain and hands going pretty much all the time.  I long for the good ole days when I could just lay down and nothing would be going on upstairs : )

I have about 100 projects on the back burner and am slowly trudging through them.  Here are a few:

coffee mug cozies for everyone on your list, as long as they drink stuff
Plain Jane crocheted Mary Jane slippers in 100% super soft, cushy, warm yarn
Plain Jane Ballet style Mary Jane slippers
more muggies
a message muggie
and a couples muggie.
I pretty much own every color of yarn available (thank you Yoli) and can make anything you see here in any color you want with any saying you’d like.
You can find it all at my store, crunchy crochet at etsy
Give handmade this Christmas, if you can’t make it yourself, support someone who can.
