Above is a photo of my most recent sale of a Clover or Shamrock Design that sold.  It is another theme in my Designs In Fiber that has sold quite a bit over the years!!

This 3-Foot Long Table Runner, though, is my most ambitious project!!  I have been blogging and posting about it over the time I worked on it in-between other projects -- I got it done, listed it on Etsy -- and in about 48 hours it was sold, much to my pleasant surprise!!

But I have done Clovers and Shamrocks, both 3-Leaf and 4-Leaf, over the years -- and sold a fair number of designs -- and following are a few pictures of different ones!!

My Hand-Crocheted WHITE and SILVER Bag - is in Great Finds Poll this week!!

This White & Silver Bag -- Hand-Crocheted by me in my own design - sort-of done as I went along (one of those designs in my head) -- got into the "Great Finds" Poll put on by "On Fire For Handmade"!!

"On Fire For Handmade"  describes how I feel all right.  Always having done Handmade since I was a child, well, some would understand it, but now it is more that something I do "just for fun", even though it is fun.

I do Handmade because I think it is right.  Now, in my life, I have time -- so I'm making all kinds of things for myself and sometimes for others -- things I use to just buy, but now I choose to make them.  But since I am making them, I get to choose the fibers - and the colors - and the sizes, the only drawback is that it takes time -- and for larger things, that can be a lot of time!!  But when something is done, it is worth it!!

Well, not to digress, but the "Great Finds" Poll by "On Fire For Handmade", which is done by "MadeForMebyOaklie" (Anne Hopfer on Facebook) -- is about HANDMADE!!

There is a "Great Finds" Poll every week -- and all Votes are appreciated!!

Here are a couple more pictures of the White & Silver Bag - one full view of the Bag -- and one closeup of the lace bag edging!  And you can buy it on Etsy:  "Hand-Crocheted WHITE and SILVER Lace Bag" !!

If you have any questions about this Bag -- you can email me !!

Again, Thanks to Anne Hopfer of MadeForMebyOaklie for all of this!!

Lucky Leprechaun Green Figurine by FANTASY CLAY

 

I "met" the Artfire Artisan, FANTASY CLAY, when I got involved with the Artfire Guild, "You Can Sell It" -- which she is the Guild Master of!!

When I checked out Fantasy Clay's Artfire Studio, I was immediately impressed by the character her clay pieces had, like the Leprechaun in the photo above - ready just in time for St. Patrick's Day!!

He is in the "You Can Sell It" March Green Challenge -- along with a number of other nice Spring Green pieces from Members of this Artfire Guild!!

She has a wonderful variety of Polymer Clay figures - from a selection of Dragons and Unicorns to People and Flowers!!
