Etsy finds: TwilightKnits

I have to pimp this wonderful woman and her beautiful handmade yarn! I purchased a skein of yarn from her to make my first pair of socks! Not only is the yarn BEAUTIFUL it is absolutely soft and will make amazing socks!
Seriously, if you want a caring and helpful seller with excellent yarn, check out Twilight Knits on Etsy!

I don't usually show off the sellers I buy from, but I can't help it when everything is so awesome! She does custom yarn too! Just ask!

Both photos are from Twilight Knit's shop.

Here's the yarn I purchased
I'm going to try to blog more, I know I keep saying this, but I have stuff to blog about, sellers to feature, and more! SO, with material should come more typing! I also really need to make another vlog, but I'm SUCH a chicken.

Check out my artfire! I just started it and will be listing my crochet and knitted objects there rather than Etsy.

Youtube!

Long time no post! Yikes. I need to start posting in this blog more. Today or tomorrow I'm going to post a vlog on my youtube channel. It will be about horses and crafts. I will hopefully start doing how-to videos and show some of how I work.

My youtube channel is here.

I'm also working on building a website, I will post it when it is ready to be viewed!

So I come bearing more pictures of Deek and a photo of my recent Etsy listing!



Deek meeting Dakota
I made a leather cuff to match a knitted scarf. They are for sale as a bundle in my Etsy shop!

Rain Rain go away

First off, with Monsoon season upon us in Arizona, the bugs and plants are going crazy. Oh, so are the toads.

I knitted a dishcloth that is available at my craftyequine shop here
This patten is something I found on Ravelry. It is from Amy-lynne Mitchell and can be found here, if you know, you're on Ravelry.


Ah, and here is a shot I took of my flooded road and the truck going down it. My road is apparently a drainage ditch.

I've been busy with lessons and hanging out with other Etsians, but I have a few new leather items I will blog about soon as well!



In other news I snagged a treasury. You can see it here!

Enough images and crazy for the day, I'll be back with not one, not two, but THREE leather cuffs!

Caption Contest!

I opened a second shop! It has nothing in it at the moment, but its going to have cards, photography, knit, crochet (including amigurumi!) and needle felted objects. If I learn to make lampwork beads, it may even have those down the road.

I made new banners for my shops as well. The new shop is CraftyEquine

Meanwhile. I'm having a contest. I want to have funny captions on some of my pictures for the inside of some of the cards. I'm sort of in a rut with some, so I'm having a caption contest. Winner will get a feature in my blog (if you're not an Etsian it can be a Flickr photos feature, DeviantART, Blog feature, whatever you want featured).



Rules:
1. I know it looks like it, but it is not an LOLCAT! Therefore captions submitted with horrible spelling, webspeak, and bad grammar will be ignored!
2. Only funny captions will be considered
3. Keep it politically correct (Please don't use "retarded" in the captions or anything else like that)
4. Swearing to a minimum.
5. Submitting your caption gives me the right to print it on my cards

I will pick anywhere from one winner to four winners. Each one will get a blog feature and credit for the quote will go to you on the etsy listing and it will display a link to you (however, you wil not receive a royalty :)) Its free publicity, nothing wrong with that!

Comment your entries here please and thank you! Contest will close August 31st

I am also having an on Etsy contest right now. Check that out here

A compulsive person, I am!

My new leather supplies came in today! I'm very excited. I have new patterns and plenty of leather to last me a while! So, expect to see more crafting!

This is my newest keychain. Mostly dyed for color, but a little bit of acrylics to make it pop a bit.

Also, we got a new cat in the family! Her name is Ava and she was adopted from a shelter, after having five kittens of her own and being a foster mom for 4 more. She really hates the dogs at the moment though, so I'm working hard to get her used to them. Her and Banjo are on occasional sniffing terms, but if I get close to them he hisses and chases her away. She's really sweet though, I hope they'll be friends, and hopefully she'll get used to the dogs quicker than Banjo did.

I've been doing a lot of horseback riding with my husband, but monsoon season is bringing lots of storms, which will give me some photography practice, but may cut back my riding a bit. Hopefully, I can craft it up. I'm knitting a scarf that I think I may list on my Etsy. I'm feeling just that adventurous.

Not to much to update.

I made another sale. I'm not too busy lately, but I haven't been doing much crafting. I'm low on leather and I just want to be able to buy some supplies! I did get a new pet to add to my menagerie of animals, he's a banded California Kingsnake. I joined Ravelry.com and I have been crocheting a scarf and I'm going to be knitting a purse. I might make some small leather items in the next few days.

Jewelry, dreamcatchers and Knitting

I made a pair of celtic knotwork leather earrings, up above. I also made one more dreamcatcher with an old reused bolo tie for decoration. Montana Silversmith ;).

I also taught myself to cable!!!

I'm very excited about this.

Well, I have a hurt horse with an infected wound to take care of, so, I'm off.
