Etsy shop and more stitch markers

I have opened an Etsy shop for my stitch markers. The last photo above is how I am sending the sets out. The tins protect the markers during shipping, plus they are a neat little container for them. The address of my shop is: http://MontanananaDesigns.etsy.com
This has been fun! :)

Doves......

I made some Dove stitch markers tonight.
I really like the way they turned out.

More Stitch Markers

Panda Bears

Ice Cream Cones

I've been playing with the clay again.
I made some Teddy Bears tonight and they are curing now.

Kitty markers......

Black kitties.....one is playing with a red ball of yarn.




Brown kitties. One is playing with a blue ball of yarn, and one has green eyes.
The 'pins' holding the markers are handmade also. :)

We are getting a blizzard today. I guess it's a good day to stay in and play with clay.

Markers....cows and pigs.

My first few cows looked like a mix of a pig, a sheep, and a cow! LOL I think I'm finally getting it though. Terry helps me critique my pieces. We really laughed over the mixed up cows! I'm happy with the way these cows turned out.

The pigs are easier than the cows because you aren't having to fool around with different colors.

I've sure had fun playing with the clay, but my sock knitting is suffering because of it. I think I got burned out making the 13 socks for the CIC kids. I'll get back to socks again soon, though.

Spinning again.....

I completed the fuchsia and purple yarn. It is 17 WPI, and is about 300 yards total. It is 75% superwash wool, and 25% nylon. It was a dream to work with, although a little difficult to dye the roving as it kept wanting to fall apart. I'm very happy with the way this yarn turned out. The details on where I got the roving is below in the February 26 message where I show it still wet from the dyeing process.

I also finished the pink and blue yarn. It is 17 WPI and about 300 yards. It is 100% merino wool. I got it from the same place as the purple and fuchsia roving.

Stitch Markers

I'm working on putting the wires onto the polyclay without having to worry about
having any joins that would snag the yarn. The first two pictures show what I came up with on the last sets of markers. No ends at all to get caught. I'll have to use them to see how I like them.
