Say Hello to Sprinkles & Oliver

"Sprinkles" The Blanket

This is Sprinkles the latest blanket that I have completed. I've watched so many lovely people make lovely v-stitch blankets lately and I couldn't resist making one myself. So here she is. I named her Sprinkles because her colors remind me of a bottle of sprinkles.

"Oliver" The Blanket

...and this is Oliver, I couldn't make a v-stitch blanket for a girl and not make one for a boy!

Today I finished Sprinkles, shes got a border and all ends are weaved in, however i'm thinking of blocking her later today.

Things have been going good, i've been coming up with my fall inventory line, what I want to carry and things. I will keep everyone posted.

Until next time friends.

One Fifty To Go

 Things have been looking up. About two weeks ago I received my very first bulk order. My client wanted 150 crochet mug cozies for a company project she's working on and I obliged. How could I resist such temptation. I have never done an order of this magnitude but I know what I am capable of and I knew I could do it.

My client wanted 50 in Turquoise, 50 in Hot Pink and 50 in Lavender. I finished them last week. Here's the final product, best shot I could take with them.

I'm so pleased.

Now I know I can do bulk orders :)

Also I ordered new business cards as well. I didn't have very many of my old cards left and I wanted enough to ship with this new order with my current info with all my sites on it. 

Here they are:

On the front it reads:

Crochet By Monet

Handmade Crochet Keepsakes and More

On the back it reads:

"custom orders, afghans, hair bows, baby blankets, housewares and more"

Order online at:

www.crochetbymonet.etsy.com

Then there's my social media contact info, I have my email, my blog, my fb like page (I set it up so no one could take my URL but haven't had the time to fix it up), and my instagram (crochetbymonet).

I'm extremely pleased with them. My old cards were black instead of white and only had my email and not any of social media. This looks much better.

I will be back to post my headband tutorial in the next few days. 

Thank you for reading. If you're a frequent visitor please feel free to follow me on instagram as I do post many pictures of my current projects as well as follow the blog! I don't write often but it's nice to see my followers. :)

Until next time friends.

Its Crunch Time

I've been working hard these days, crocheting and crocheting and crocheting. I have four lapghans to go. I finished the baby blanket that was ordered, see below.

I absolutely love it, so does my client.

I just finished the first lapghan of five today. I thought this one would take me the longest but I just say down and pushed through it.

This lapghan reminds me of Roses in the Garden. ❤️

Now I'm working this one:

This one makes me think of Halloween. I don't know why. Well back to crocheting.

Have a great night everyone.
