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?

 xoxo for now

New Model = Awesome Photos

So, so, so, so glad my friend, Shaina, could come out and model for me... I love every photo. Her awesome, fun, goofy personality shows and fits with my style too.  Not much to say today, so enjoy the photos.  These are just of the cowls.  Hats/sweaters/etc. soon.

If you want one, just comment with your email address and I'll send you an invoice!  Or head to facebook (http:///www.facebook.com/jennybunnycreations) if that's easier for you!

The ones that are listed on Etsy already will have a link underneath them!

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....

Knittin' Pretty

I've been knitting like a crazy woman lately!  I'm definitely trying to get a line of baby girl sweaters out and it's coming along nicely. I can't wait to show them off, but for now, here are a bunch of fun knit and crochet things I've made.  They are soon to be on my site!

This cowl is sold, but I have more colors coming soon!

This is a fun green and silver crocheted cowl.

My new favorite yarn!  So much texture!

A nice slouchy hat!

Crazy soft cowl with two buttons!

Big slouchy cowl/hood in turquoise and silver.

 Fun multicolor scarf with funky fringe.

Thanks so much to Jolene and Christy for modeling for me!  And Karen for taking the photos!  I have great friends and family!

More items to come, but you can check out all the photos on my facebook page here: Knits 2012

Now, off to knit!  :D

Woof woof!

That's tea cup poodle speak for "holy moley, it's cold in Minnesota!" and Saturday it was chilly and windy, but still beautiful! 

I don't know about you, but I can't pass up a brand new puppy.  You see it and you just HAVE to pet it, right?  Well, a lovely lady named Sue (on the right) was walking past me on the sidewalk and I saw her little pup just snuggled up near her neck.  Of course I asked to hold it.  Turns out it's a boy, but he was nameless since she had just adopted him two hours before.

I was wearing a cowl I made and he just tried to climb right in...  Ok, I admit, I'm a softie and it was so freakin' cute that it brought tears to my eyes.  *sniffle*  He's just so cute!  Well, I took it off and told Sue that it was hers.... Just so she could snuggle her baby boy up! 

Look how sweet he is!  Just a little doll!  I just couldn't stand for him to be chilly, so I feel like I helped someone/something out that day.  Made me feel good about myself.... It was small, but it was something, right?

I'm thinking I don't do enough good deeds in a day, so that's a new goal... To try and make someone else's life better every day.

Woof Woof!

What a nice weekend.

I finally got my giftcard in the mail to Barnes & Noble on Friday... $50!!! I rarely spend the money on books I really want, so this was a splurge event for me!

I got three cooking books, an organization book, a knitting magazine..... And I'm in heaven!

I found this great book... 500 3-Ingredient Recipes and I love it! Mind, you there are "freebies" in the recipes- Like, water, flour, sugar are not counted in the recipes, among a few other things. Still, all the recipes are simple and easy. I made homemade granola, for God's sake... How sweet is that!

I was browsing through the knitting magazine and found an awesome artible on invisible cast-ons and bind-offs... I was hesitant to believe that they actually looked like the pics... But, seriously. It's amazing how nice the edges look. I'll link to the magazine when I can remember the name! I forget!

Anyway, it was my dad's birthday on the 11th and we celebrated on the 13th. FOOD! My sister made this mac'n'cheese... Oh. My. God. It was so good. It's the only kind I'll ever make ever again. Ever. Four Cheese Macaroni from AllRecipes- We did add more cheddar. I know that seems crazy when you read the recipe, but my family likes it cheesy.

Sunday was my day of rest... yay. Though I did get some knitting/crochet done... and read A LOT!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
