WIP Wednesday - Little Penguin

This little penguin has been looking at me lately, asking why I haven't finished him yet..

YoP Update

* moshi moshi! * How are you today?

We have had such a busy week, we're still moving and decorating and I've been putting all my craft supplies into our new cabinet.. I'm not yet finished, but I'm definitely doing a post this week showing you my craft supply organization so far! Today's post is about the crafting ^_^

Last week I started on the little knitted gift bags, and here they are now:

 

Jumping in!

Hello you! How are you doing? As I had planned, I've put some items up for sale in my Etsy shop this week! Meet my clouds.. ( >> don't forget to enter my give away here!)

 

I'm glad I did it. Just did it, I mean..  Because there's a lot of things that could have held me back..
I wish I had more products for sale... and .. I wish I had more traffic on my blog and my Etsy shop.. I wish, I wish, I wish, I coulda woulda shoulda

You gotta start somewhere right?

Another try - and a give away!

Hello you! What do you do when at first you don't succeed? That's right! Try again.

I tried to sell my handmade items via Etsy in 2011. I put up two very simple crocheted scarves, which nobody ever bought and I ended up gifting to my family. I decided selling my own handmade items was not for me. ...But now - three years later - I have changed my mind!

 

I'm going to give it another try. And we'll see what happens! (of course, I am secretely hoping that one of my items will be noticed) No crocheted scarves this time, I'm trying something different! A sneak preview?

  

 

Click here to visit my Etsy shop! I'll be putting items up for sale this week! And to celebrate, I'm having a give away!

 

I will giving away a $25 Etsy Gift Card! It'll run for two weeks and all you have to do is comment on this post. Of course, a bit of advice or 'item love' on Etsy would be welcome but that's no must! March 22nd I'll randomly pick a winner.

 

I'm very excited!

 

Have a lovely week!

FO Friday with a Colorful Caterpillar!

Hi guys! I started this project a few weeks ago, on a rainy, grey day and I needed some color..

Hey! Met dit project ben ik een paar weken geleden begonnen, op een grijze en regenachtige dag, toen ik behoefte had aan kleur..

 

It all started with some colorful crochet balls, with no real purpose but to brighten up my day.

Today, it's Cody the Caterpillar!

 

Het begon allemaal met een paar gehaakte balletjes, zonder een specifiek doel, behalve om mijn dag wat vrolijker te maken.. Maar vandaag is het Cody de Rups!

Blue Kitty Softies

Happy Monday! I'm very excited to share these my latest creations with you!

Fijne Maandag! Ik ben ontzettend enthousiast om mijn laatste twee creaties met jullie te delen!

 

Two blue Kitty softies..

 

Twee blauwe zachte katjes...
