Dare to be sassy, eco-friendly and fabulous! The recycled sweaters that were used to make these wonderful scarves were carefully hand selected for fiber content and color. Each sweater was cleaned, hand cut and sewn into striking designs!

Autumn Leaf Roses

Aren't these adorable? They are made from autumn leaves!

This wonderful tutorial was found on a (Russian??) blog. I do not read or speak Russian, so I am not sure. The pictures are enough...no need for explanations. (smile!~!)
Just yesterday, while running errands in the rain, I stopped several times to pick up gorgeously colored autumn leaves. I am planning to dip the leaves in wax and use in future craft projects. Of course, once dipped, the leaves may be stored in a "would like to get to one day" pile of "wish-list crafts"! Ha! I will always have CADD...Craft Attention Deficit Disorder!

Made a little something for myself

I can barely believe that I finally made something for myself! This was a super-fun project! I made polymer clay bezels, added graphics, and crocheted cording with beads and viola! I love this unique necklace!

Check out Miss Fickle Media's Etsy shop for wonderful tutorials for making polymer pendants. She has several tutorials available that also include great sources for supplies.

I made several pendants and used rubber stamps for a surface design on the back side. I also added a jump ring to each pendant for hanging and dusted the clay with powdered pigments to "paint" them. Alot of fun!

Super-Cute Felted Balls Tutorial

Check out Coco Knits! This super cool shop has FABULOUS knitting patterns. Only wish I had the patience to learn to knit! :-)

Julie's aim in creating her website is to reach creative knitters who want a finished product that says something unique about their personality. Each pattern is meant not as a rigid template but as a guide, a jumping-off point from which you can determine your own style through choice of texture, color, shape, and embellishments.

Julie also has several tutorials on her site. I love the super-easy felted balls!

Finally Made a Decision

After weeks of worrying and frettin' (can you tell I am a Southern girl?!), I have made the decision that Miss Gina Designs will no longer take orders for baby products. Don't get me wrong, I love making cute items for babies, but the new federal legislation that requires certificates stating lead levels in materials used to make products for children under age 12 is just too much for little 'ole me.

So, we're having a SALE!

All baby items have been marked down to unbeatable prices. Limited quantities available, so get 'em while they last!

Miss Gina Design ribbon cuddle blankies are on sale! Isn't this picture just the cutest? (Susan...don't be mad...I just HAD to post this adorable pic!)

Solid color minkee dot fabric on one side with chenille on the other.

Ribbon tags attached to two sides.

We're also selling our remaining stock of monogrammed burp cloths. Again, limited quantities available.

Prices have been drastically reduced!

Matching bib and burp cloth sets also have been reduced!

Have fun shopping! These items make great baby shower gifts!

Craftgawker Submission

I've been so busy lately! I haven't had much time to focus, but I just wanted to pop in to introduce you to a super-fun site, Craftgawker!

I recently had a submission accepted! So much fun!!

Craftgawker is a gallery where anyone can showcase their art, crafting and photography skills. It's a place for you to discover new artists and handmade goods.
I enjoy browsing through the multitude of interesting handmade products! Hope you will too!
