What have we been up to...

If you fallow our blog you are probably wondering where we have been...
Well we have been pretty busy...
Wednesday we attended Fashion Danvers:
"Do what you love, love what you do,” work shop.
This work shop was GREAT!
We had the opportunity to work really closely with the owner Brandi, and have lots of one on one time.
We also go to connect with others people who are just like us.
AND out of those connections we made, we meet one really great connection, and she is going to be one of our NEW featured Artisans.... But we cannot spoil the surprise yet... You will have to stay tune to see who she is!

We have also been busy filling orders: Scratchies, barn yard animals, and hat. For both The Pome Denver and The Marketplace.

Here are some pics:

Project of the week: Plasic Bag yarn

If you are anything like me you save all those plastic bag that you get while out shopping and never end up using all of them so here is a great way to use up come of those bags:

Make a purse

How to Creat the Yarn:

Step 1: Take one grocery and smooth it out flat.

Step 2: Fold it in half lengthwise and smooth out again.

Step 3: Fold in half again, and smooth out.

Step 4: Cut off the bottom seam, and the handles at the top.

Step 5: Fold in half again.

Step 6: Cut the strip into 1 inch  pieces…

until you’ve cut the whole strip.

Step 7: Open up the loops…

Step 8: Remember making rubberband chains when you were a kid?

Well, it’s like that.

Do this over and over and over until you’re sitting in a big pile of grocery bag yarn.

Stuff it all into a bag and then–when you’re in the mood you can crochet any hand bag of your choosing!

Post comments and send us pictures of your creations!!
