Serendipity Scarves

Definition: Serendipity: The faculty or phenomenon of finding valuable and agreeable things not sought for. Precisely what I would hope would be the reaction to my scarves. Valuable, agreeable...even though you weren't looking for them.
When I decided to start making fleece scarves last winter (they are embellished with yarn crocheted on the edges) I had no idea I would end up with SOO many of them. Last count, before the ones I have given as gifts and the ones that I have sold to friends, I have made 112 scarves. I currently have 91 to sell through my Etsy site. I haven't exactly gotten them uploaded yet, but will do that within the next few weeks. Currently, if anyone out there....HEEELLLLOOO cyberspace, would be interested you can view said scarves on FACEBOOK by going to Daydream Dezigns Facebook page. You don't have to be invited, but you do have to be on Facebook. Click on the PHOTO link on the side of the page and go to "Serendipity Scarves" album. There are about 40 scarves listed and tomorrow there will be more.

"Lady Bags" - first installment of purses

I have decided that I am going to call my purses: "Lady Bags" with a lady bug in the logo somehow. They will be under the general umbrella of my business, which will be called Daydream Dezigns.




So, here is the first installment of my Lady Bags.

Little Denim Lady Bag...


Similar to "that little denim dress". Simple yet very functional.

This next whimsical purse is made from fleece. I took my leftover pieces of fleece and
cut 3/4 inch strips of the fleece and s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d it, by hand, into long thin pieces. Yarn. Then I crocheted purses. This is the first....of many. :)

All my Lady Bags are for sale. Most, if not all, will be on my Etsy site, eventually. Until I get them all photographed and uploaded to Etsy, they will be shown here, first.



I would appreciate your feedback if you would

be so kind as to leave me your opinion.



Thanks....

The little blue handbag

My project for today was this little blue handbag. I think it could work perfectly for a small evening bag. The clasp is made from beads and buttons out of my collections. I said yesterday I would post photos of my jewelry bags. Perhaps tomorrow I'll do that....that is unless I decide to made something else. You just never know.

From the scraps

From the scraps of the fabric I used to make my travelling jewelry bags, which I will post tomorrow, I made these cute little gift bags. You want to give something small....in a cute way. This is the ticket.

One of my latest offerings

I was introduced to these potholders by a old friend of mine. She had made two for her sister and I loved them. They are crocheted with cotton yarn. Most of the ones I have made have been given as presents to my daughters, my daughter-in-law and my sisters. They all seem to like them and I use the ones I made for myself all the time. Most of what I plan to put on my Etsy site will be on here first to see what the responses will be, if any. Stay tuned for more "stuff".
