Merry Christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
(I was hoping to find a better picture from White Christmas...perhaps one of them singing the "Snow" song, because of all the snow in Chicago lately! But this photo will have to do for now :-)

Well, I've been a bit M.I.A. lately, but still busy crafting of course. I'm thankful to have finally sold a few items (THREE!) on my etsy site! Two of my hand-painted Koala pillows and one blue paisley shawl. And as the holidays have rolled in, I've also been blessed with a handful of custom orders for Christmas gifts and have made a few sales at my women's Bible study Christmas get-together. I've really been encouraged and feel motivated to keep on crafting :-)

I crocheted these little hand bags a few months ago, hoping to find them a home since they turned out so cute!
So far I've sold one - the olive green one with white ribbon - $25. The last two items were custom ordered coin holder key rings, perfect for those of us who like to shop at Aldi's! - $6

Congrats! Recently I also had my first Etsy sale. Such a nice feeling. I also started quilting recently, which I am addicted too! I hope to make some quilts and try to sell some this year. I would also like to start making things this year for family for Christmas next year, but who knows. So much wanted to do, so little time. Hope you had a good Christmas, and Happy New Year! oh, did you ever become a member of ravelry yet?
