Item of the Day - Multicolor Handknit Wool Scarf

I looooooove this yarn.  And I can't find it anymore.  Boo!  It's just so soft and warm and supple and yummy and... I'll stop now.  It just gets cold here in Minnesota and wool helps. :)

I was really on a kick making random colored and rowed scarves. I think I need to get back into that because this scarf is pretty cool.  It's shorter than most, but the fringe makes up for it.  It's perfect for one loop around the neck or you could even knot it so it stays secure.

I just love the change in the yarn. It goes from so chunky to super thin.  It makes the piece have an almost wave pattern to it.  Very fun!  

$35

Item of the Day - Fuschia and Purple Big Cowl

This yarn is not the easiest to work with, but I love how it turns out. Each skein has a wonderful change in colors and this is one of my favorites.  I just made a hat for my aunt too out of a pretty green and orange mix. Sounds odd, but it's super pretty.

Back to this cowl though... I love making adaptable, functional things to wear.  They do have to be pretty also, but function is number one for me.  From a cowl to a capelet, this one covers a couple of bases while doing it's main job of keeping you warm.  :)

I love the fun buttons too... I wish I had bought in bulk when I initially bought them.  

I hope you enjoy this one since it's one of my favorites!  More to come soon!

Item of the Day - Crocheted Multicolor Cowl

Starting a new planned post series featuring different items of the day.  A little insight into the how and why I make them.  Click the photos to be taken to my etsy shop.  Also, if you see something you like but want it in a different color or size, please let me know at jennybunnyetsy @ yahoo . com. 

Knitting and crocheting are two of my favorite things to do.  There is just something so cool about taking one thing and making it into something functional, that you can wear, that is cool looking.  I figure, if anything, I have a marketable skill in the case of a zombie apocalypse.  ;)

This yarn was a great find, but I can't remember what it's made of exactly!  DOH!  I love it though because it's shiny and soft and yummy.  I feel like such a dork that I can't find the paper wrapper that was around it.  I knocked off $5 from the price to make up for it. 

$20

I'll be working at getting everything I have in my shop by Friday.  I haven't decided if I'll be having a Black Friday sale or not.  Yes?  No?

Item of the Day - Purple Czech Glass and Brass Earrings

Starting a new planned post series featuring different items of the day.  A little insight into the how and why I make them.  Click the photos to be taken to my etsy shop.  Also, if you see something you like but want it in a different color or size, please let me know at jennybunnyetsy @ yahoo . com. 

I love this purple.  It's just so pretty.  And I love it so much next to the brass that I think I need to make more earrings similar to these.  *makes note*  

I love the size of these guys.  The hoop is about an inch in diameter and the beads hang down a bit more so even though they look big and dramatic, they really aren't!

Item of the Day - Black Faceted Glass and Brass Bracelet

Starting a new planned post series featuring different items of the day.  A little insight into the how and why I make them.  Click the photos to be taken to my etsy shop.  Also, if you see something you like but want it in a different color or size, please let me know at jennybunnyetsy @ yahoo . com. 

Initially I made this bracelet style in 6 different colors... And they were so amazing to see in person. I wanted to wear them all at once, but I'm colorful that way.  ;)  There are only three left, so I guess I need to make more...!?

When I make things, I often don't know what I'm going to make until I'm inspired by my supplies.  These bracelets were thought of for a while though. I love multistrand, colorful, but dainty jewelry... And, even though this is black, it has the AB finish on it that reflects light and has a pretty blue/green color to it.  

Since each bead is individually wire wrapped, the bracelet isn't rigid. I just love them. Ok, fine, I'm making more. ;)

Item of the Day - Big Turquoise Blue Hoops

I love huge earrings.  Not that these are THAT big, but they have a lot of attitude!  And even though they are larger, they aren't very heavy. I think, if I had overdone (or done more) blue beads, they would have been.  Glad I didn't. :)

Turquoise with brass is one of my favorite color combos, so I use it often.  It is such an awesome contrast.

Item of the Day - Slouchy Blue Hat

This hat is made from acrylic yarn in a bright cobalt blue.  The edge is ribbed, but I changed up the rib on the main part of the hat to be opposite of that. Just to make it interesting.  It's perfect for most size heads- unstretched it is 16 inches and maxes out at 24.  Easy to care for; you can just toss it in the washer and dry with normal clothes.  

I like the loose fit of this style because it doesn't mess with my hair as much.  Silly, but true.  Also, I can get my mop of hair allll into the hat so it's out of the way.  

$20

I hope you enjoy the new daily posts.  I'll make sure to include other posts too so you don't get bored with me.  ;)

Paying it forward - Jaylee

It's my birthday in two days.  I'll be 32...  I'm okay with it.  I don't want anything physical, but I'd like some help if you can.

As you may know, my daughter was born 10 weeks and 1 day before she was due. She was so small but so feisty.  After exactly 2 months in the hospital, she came home.  This was us on our way home finally....

I met, Jessica, on a facebook group for preemies/NICU moms and dads.  She had her sweet little Jaylee at 29 weeks also.  Jaylee is bigger than my Lauren was, but will still need quite a bit of time in the hospital.  

Driving back and forth to the hospital my girl had to be at was a huge expense. Along with food, gas, and the medical bills bills, things were starting to look tough.  Thankfully, I have some amazing friends and family that helped us out.  Even strangers, those people I can never thank, stick with me every day.  Every day that I watch my babe grow stronger and bigger, I thank them. EVERY DAY.

Now it's my turn to pay it forward-  So, for the rest of the month, for every piece of JEWELRY that sells in my etsy shop, I'll give 50% to their gofundme page!

Every penny helps, trust me on that.  So if you don't want jewelry, please donate.

Simply Earrings

Simple, easy to wear earrings. :)

Just sharing a few colors I've made...  I love the bold colors next to the copper, but the pretty tangerine ones at the bottom are awesome too.  I just love copper, I guess. 

Back to knitting baby hats I go.  I just wanted to share some of my favorite earrings.

Cha-cha-changes

It's been since January 21st since I last posted on here, but I have a very good reason...  I was pregnant and not feeling well at all.

And then I had my daughter ten weeks early on February 15th.  So I had a delightful little bundle of joy way before she was ready. Before I was too. I have a Caring Bridge site for her here: Lauren Jean.  That link takes you to the first post I ever put up, explaining what happened exactly.  It's painful for me and a long story so I won't elaborate about it on here. If you want to read it, and understand, then please do. If not, just know that I'm so happy to be a mother to a wonderful, now healthy girl and I plan on being a work-at-home mom. She is still in the hospital until they deem her fit to go home, but she's doing very well.

So, the cha-cha-changes are that I'm lucky enough to be a stay/work-at-home mom!  That means I get to focus on my girl AND jewelry making and knitting!  And crocheting... And sewing if I want!!!!  I'm excited if you can't tell.

I have to get back to some custom orders, but I wanted to share a couple new items. :)

The big turquoise and red earrings are on Etsy, if you are interested in purchasing them. Just click the photos to be redirected to my Etsy shop. :)

The top pair and bottom two are not listed since the top sold and I haven't had time to list the bottom two. If you'd like either of the bottom two, just leave a comment with your email address and I'll send you an invoice from Paypal. Earrings are $12 per pair, shipping is $5 for the whole order.

These ones sold already, but I love them so much I had to share a photo!
If you would like something similar, please don't hesitate to ask!

It's Done: Fuzzy Multicolor Cowl

It's not that I knit or crochet a lot....  No, wait I do.  This is one of three things I've finished in the last week or so.  I love doing both... especially when the projects come out looking as awesome as this cowl.

Super soft, fuzzy yarn in blues, green and brown makes for a fun mix and it's warm.  Much needed warmth in the dreary Winter wonderland that is Minnesota.  Or in your office building on a chilly day.  :) I know how that goes.

Click the photo to be directed to my Etsy listing for the cowl.  From there you can check out all the other new things too.

Back to listing!

It's Done: Multicolor Cowl

Another cowl done before I have to do some modifying to jewelry for a customer!  This multicolor yarn is so soft and pretty.... so much that I neeeeed to get more.  :)

If you like it, you can call dibs by commenting with sold and your email address before it's on etsy. :)

And you can find my works in progress (and photos of my cat) on Instagram. I'm @JennyBunnyRocks

It's Done: A Pink, Shiny Hat

Oh, I love finishing projects. Especially ones like this with fun yarn.

Variegated yarn in pink and purple with just a bit of metallic threaded through make for a fun hat, I think. It can be slightly slouchy or like a beanie.  It just depends on how you wear it. 

I do post progress photos on Instagram a lot if you'd like to see what I'm working on in the future. @JennyBunnyRocks is my name.

Now to work on a fun cowl and boot cuffs and a custom order... I love knitting so much. :)

xoxo for now,

Happy New Year!

We are six days into the new year... How is it 2014 already!?  Time flies, as they say, but last year wasn't all that fun for my family and me.  We had lots of ups and downs, but it seemed like more often than not, things were down.  I'm hoping/praying/wishing/dreaming that 2014 is much better, needless to say.  And for you and yours too. :)

Currently it's -18 in wonderfully arctic Minnesota, so I've been thinking and wearing plenty of warm knit and crochet goods.  Of all the skills and hobbies I have, I'm glad I learned how to knit and crochet the most.  It's my downer... If I've had a long day or am just feeling stressed, it's what I do to chill out...  It's that relaxing for me.

I was even really busy in December working on a fairly large custom order for a local friend. She needed 10 or so cowls for her aunts.  They took a while, but were so worth it in the end.  Now I just need to make more to share with you all.  The cover photo on my facebook page actually shows all the colors I created for her here: Jenny Bunny Creations on Facebook

Here are a few things I created that I didn't get to share with you earlier because I was hookin' like crazy for her!

And I did get a chance to do a few more custom orders for people too, but my favorite was a gift for my aunt that my cousin requested.   These chicken potholders and trivet came from a pattern so I can't sell them, but they make me so happy that I couldn't resist sharing!

I don't usually make resolutions, but I hope to find more time for knitting and crochet... and to get a chance to make things for my little girl.  She's due at the end of April.  I can't wait to see her face, but for now I'm going to go snuggle with my cat and husband.  And maybe finish the hat I've been working on....

xoxo for now
