New hats completed!

I just finished the two cloches from the "in progress" photos in my previous post. Take a look! I'm calling them my "Windy" cloches.


(please excuse the clutter in the background - I have yarn everywhere!)

If anyone in the Boyertown, PA area is interested, I am looking for hat models for my Etsy shop photos. My previous model went off to college. I can't pay you anything, but I will treat you to coffee.

In progress

I've been working hard this week with new products and ideas for fall and especially for the Crafty By Nature show on Sunday. Below are some images of things in progress. More to come!

Sales!

Wow, do I have some sales going on right now! First off, all orders of $40 or more get FREE SHIPPING this month. And it's also free shipping to anyone who wants to come pick up their order at Crafty By Nature on October 4. Secondly, all of my cotton hats are 25% off now through October. Only a couple are in the Etsy shop right now, but I'll have a few more popping up as soon as they come back from the NJ shop next week (I'm changing up my inventory there). I'm thinking about a sale of some sort in October, too, but haven't settled on anything yet. And, of course, there's always a free mini pin with any online purchase!

Now you are in the "know."

The mad hattery begins

I have so much to do! With Crafty By Nature, retail stores, and my Etsy shop, I feel as though all I'll be doing for the next few weeks is making hats, gloves, and cowls. Right now three of my new "Paisley" cloches are in the works, in some very wonderful fallish colors. I just finished a new fingerless glove pattern and a cowl pattern, so I'll be making up some of those as well. And today I came up with a nice little cable pattern that might end up on some pieces in the near future.

Plus, I figured out what I want to do with all the vintage pillowcases I have sitting around. You'll see soon! I hope...

This weekend I did take the time to make something for myself: a lovely, lacey cowl worked up with recycled silk I purchased from craftyyarn. It's so soft and wonderful - I wish I had more of the yarn!
