Yarn Galore

Yarn Galore

We have finally opened up our Etsy shop!!! I’m super excited to add more items, and we are busy thinking about what we should add next. If you haven’t already stopped by our shop, go and take a look, one of our items are dying to be claimed by you. :3

I wanted to share with you the bow clips that are now in the shop right now. The ones we have at the moment are inspired by the bow colors of the Sailor Scouts. Like we mentioned before, it was National Sailor Moon Day and so we wanted to make something for the occasion. However, we will also be adding different color bows, so you can have your choice of bow and center color. These little bow clips are just a wonderful accessory, and they fit in any type of hair. Short, long, curly, or straight. We are also thinking of adding them to headbands, in case you prefer that instead of clips.

We are super excited to have the Etsy up and running and we hope to add more items in the upcoming months. More knitted items are sure to make an appearance so subscribe to our Instagram or  follow the blog for more updates. We appreciate the love we’ve been receiving and  hope to do more giveaways in the future.

Crochet – Hearts and Flowers

Crochet - Hearts and Flowers

LINEcamera_share_2015-04-16-02-18-20

Yarn crafts are amazing and a lot of fun to make.  The craft I’m sharing today is great for decorating just about anything. Whether it be gifts, planners, room decor, or hair clips. These small little hearts and flowers are great for all your decorating needs.

Crocheting is something I’ve just recently started getting into. If you’re like me then knitting came much easier to learn. But crocheting allows you to do more shapes and so I’ve been trying my best to learn how to crochet. And I believe I’ve been able to pick it up now, due to the fact that my knitting skills have greatly improved since I first started knitting. I’m not a knitting master by any means, and crocheting is still a mystery to me but I’ve managed to crochet these little hearts and flowers, so these are great for novice yarn crafters or even novice crafters in general. A while back I showed the knitted hearts that I learn to make, but the crochet ones are flat and you can adjust the size depending on the size of hook you use.  These can also be used to make garlands that you can hang on the wall.  The paperclips are fairly new, I’ve noticed the planner community post something similar on instagram and had to try it out myself. I’ve kept one in my planner for the whole week and it hasn’t moved or gotten in the way. It’s just something small to decorate your planner pages and also be used as a paperclip. Bonus points!

Check back here for some more crochet projects, maybe next time I’ll even make some DIY tutorials and show you how I knit or crochet. Until next time…..
