thank you + some new hoop art!

First of all I wanted to thank you for visiting my blog! I’ve gotten great response and feedback about the two tutorials I posted earlier this week! (If you missed them, click here to take you to a list of my DIY tutorials.)

Even in the midst of holiday prep, gift-buying, and decorating, things have been busy at catshy crafts studio (i.e. my living room couch). I have 5 new items in the shop. You still have time to shop for Christmas (the domestic Priority Mail deadline is December 21, but you should submit your order for Ready to Ship item only to me by Dec. 20 so that I have a day to pack your order).

Or maybe you want to shop EARLY for Valentine’s Day!

First up is this striking turquoise yarn-wrapped wreath ornament. It comes with a red ribbon for hanging from your tree.

Hang this beauty on your tree. Or use as a gift topper.

Next, is the “create” wreath that may look familiary to you already….because it’s currently on my blog banner!

To inspire you to create every day.

And finally I have three new happy, heart-felt hoop art to share that I think would make great gifts for Valentine’s Day!

This tiny guy fits in the palm of your hand.

I love the fat raindrops.

Of course, I got my sweetie to model it for me.

That’s all for today. Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. I almost forgot. I had another new hoop art ready to share but it already got sold. Even though its gone, I didn’t want it to miss its chance in the spotlight, so to speak.  So here’s “purple rain”. You might remember I had a similiar hoop art at my art show. And it was in my blog banner for a long time (You can see it on the right hand column of this blog under Blog Banners.) I ended up giving it to my friend Hannah who made the art show happen in the first place. (It was her favorite ;).

Anyway, I made a new one for the shop, but this time I added a lilac running stitch around the border.

Purple rain. Sorry, this one was sold already. (But I am always open to custom orders, just let me know!)
