Feet

I had a strange urge to make barefoot sandals this weekend.  I go barefoot any chance I get, so I love the idea of these sandals, but I admit, I'm too lazy to actually wear them often.

I'm going to list them in the Etsy shop but first I've got to figure out how to display them.  I'm not sure how I feel about photographing feet.  Maybe the little lady could be my foot model.

Etsy week 13 and 14

I recently listed some items that I'm proud, even if I don't expect to sell them.  I like them because they are useful items and a lot of my own ideas went into them.  I used a bought pattern to get the sizing for the shirts, but the designs are my own.  For the bag, I made my own printing plate and used curry leaves from the garden.

I also listed some hair clips and accessories.

Bits and pieces

Part of the reason Our Crafty Empire exists is that my supply cupboards need emptying so I can keep buying new supplies.  I love fabric!  I love yarn!  I love threads!

A lifetime of crafting does lead to bits and pieces of things I keep meaning to use up.  Here's what I'm trying to use now.  It's some friendship band type cords that I tied ages ago, and some old jean zippers.

I think they are meant to be little pouches.  Here are the first ones.
