A Couple of Sold Etsy Items

I thought I would try to start posting photos of items that sell in my Etsy shop. Maybe I can get in the habit of doing this with future sales.

This small plaque was fun to do. I used three different colors for the background to make it look similar to old barn wood. One of my regular customers purchased this one and placed an order for four more for gifts.

These scissor fobs were a custom order to coordinate with the new Eleanor Gingher scissors.

I should be in my craft room working on more items for my shop. Check it out sometime at

Breast Cancer Fobs

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1997, a friend of mine asked me to make her a breast cancer fob that she could clip on her purse in my honor.  Little did I know that it is still clipped to whatever purse she is carrying to this day.

In the early summer of 2015, this same friend was diagnosed with breast cancer.  She asked me if I could make more fobs so she could give one to her female family members.  I worked on these this week and have them ready to get to her (we now live 100 miles apart).

SCISSOR FOB BAUBLE.....

I saw some scissor fobs that were different from the most common ones

we see on the market and that I make. 
They are short and made mostly with large beads.

The ones I saw were way overpriced.  I know people want to make

a profit, but not to the extent of taking advantage of people.

Off my soapbox now!

Anyway, the first one I made is so so.  Good enough

to list in my Etsy shop, but I do hope to improve them

as I make more.

These may work for the stitchers who think the longer,

dangly fobs will get in their way.

Here is a photo of the first one I did.  Like I said,

I hope to get some prettier ones as I go along.

 

I hope to have some more made soon.  I'll show those when they

are ready.

OUT THE DOOR

A little background for those that don't read my Facebook page...I have been making and selling scissor fobs to a needlepoint store in Connecticut for a few months now.  The most current order shipped this past Tuesday and hopefully have arrived safe and sound.  The store is having a trunk show and guest artist there today, so maybe most of the fobs will sell also.  This was the fifth order I have done for them.  This one was five Halloween and five Christmas ones.  Picture below.

 

 

 

Thanks for visiting!

NEW FOB

I guess I don't have to say that I am really way behind with all my crafts. I'm sure my lack of posts speaks louder than words. I did manage to make a new fob yesterday. I decided to make a Christmas-related one a little early, at least for me. I have painted a few things, not for sale, but custom orders. After a few finishing touches, I'll post pictures of these.
