Owls, more owls and flowers! All pincushions, all ready to be shipped off to their new homes.

I DO love to crochet, and I enjoy making my crochet into fun and useful items for others to enjoy. Pincushions are one of my favourite things to make, I don't think I'll ever get tired of 'em.

Not something I'd actually thought about needed to know, but I suppose it must be true.

I went shopping with my daughters on Sunday, and decided to buy new yarn for toy-making. And yes, I DID need it! LOL

Isn't it pretty!

All these Owl Cards are for sale. The owls have been crocheted by myself, and I have put the cards together using acid-free paper & card, ribbon, lace, buttons, brads & other embellishments. They are 6" x 4" (15cm x 10.5cm), with a blank insert, so you can write your own message, and they come with an envelope.

If you would like to purchase one, or just want to have a look at my other cards, toys & more, check out my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MaclynCrafts.NZ

I had a phone call from the Purple Patch this afternoon. They only had 4 of my owls left (out of the 6 I took in this week), and a lady was buying all of them. She also wanted the crochet basket that they were displayed in, and how much did I want for it? Hmmmmm. Good question! It wasn't for sale, as I had made it specially for my owls, but ... I said if she really wanted it, she could have it for $18. I don't know yet if she did buy it, but luckily I made two of them, so at least I can replace the display, in time for more Christmas shoppers. Maybe I should make more baskets as well???? Do I want to???? *sigh* LOL

And no, I don't have a photo of the basket, but here's one of my owls.

First post!

This is my brand-new tumblr blog! Never thought I needed one, probably still don't (LOL), but here goes anyway. Can't hurt. *vbg*

So, what I am going to share here? Info about my website www.maclyncrafts.co.nz or my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/MaclynCrafts.NZ. New items made. New items for sale. Crafty stuff I'm playing around with. Art I'm making for free https://www.facebook.com/FreeArtFridayWaikatoNZ

I crochet. Make cards. Sew felty things. Make toys. I play with ribbon, yarn, lace, beads, buttons, fabric, rubber stamps, ink, pencils, sequins, old books, paper, card ... and more.

Stick around, and we'll see what I come up with.
