It's November!

November is here and the fall season is in full swing. November is my favorite month, the fact that my birthday is in November probably has a little to do with that! This necklace fits the feel of the month perfectly with its coffee and caramel colored beads paired with gorgeous glass topaz!



As a special deal for all of my blog readers, get free shipping on this necklace now through the end of November, just by putting "Happy November" in the notes to seller at checkout. I will refund the shipping cost via PayPal!

Personal News and Autumn Leaves!

I recently started a new job (Yay!) and although the commute is a killer, the jon itself is pretty cool. What's even cooler is that my cubicle has a window!! With the office being on the second floor, I can see all of the trees that overlook the parking lot. I've seen some monster mosquitos, crows and a blue jay, but mostly I've noticed that the leaves are slowly starting to change color. Fall is almost here! My favorite time of year. Anyway, staring at all those leaves all day long got me thinking about what I'd find on Etsy if I searched for leaves, and of course, I narrowed it down to my EtsyNJ friends. Check out the EtsyNJ blog to see what I found!

Get cozy for fall!

Fall is almost here!! I love fall, its my favorite time of year, the temperature is getting into a more comfortable range, the leaves are turning colors, craft stores have yarn on sale and all the best holidays (like my birthday) are coming up!

As the fall days get cooler, we all start thinking about keeping warm. Some, like myself, start thinking about that in July and August and start hooking up blankets, shawls and scarves. So, if you need some cozy new things this fall, I am more than happy to help you out!

I just finished this pretty pink, blue and white blanket. I've had these yarns in my statsh for quite some time. In fact, the rosy/pink yarn has been used in many projects - a pound of yarn truly does go a long way!! And the pink, blue and white variagated yarn has been calling out to me for some time, but I love it so much, I couldn't use it in just any old project. So, finally, they come together and make this soft and cozy lap blanket. Perfect for cuddling up with a good book, snoozing on the couch or for watching a movie with a bowl of popcorn!


I've been wanting to make a shawl for some time now and I had the perfect white yarn in my stash. I tried a really cool waffle pattern and I love the way it came out. This shawl is great for a sunset walk, a fancy dinner out or even to throw over your shoulders when you grab the mail or walk the dog!


The most important fall and winter accessory is a good warm scarf. I love making scarves and right now I am really having fun digging through my stash and putting together some really great scarves. This brand new navy blue scarf is classic and simple with some fun fringe!


And this colorful cotton scarf is so soft that you won't want to take it off!


This pretty glittery purple scarf is perfect for the little lady who wants to look fashionable while keeping warm:


Happy Shopping!
