New Designs

I have added some designs in my shop.

Easter Bunnies are made out of fluffy terry yarn that was discontinued but oh so soft.

I have been making some with a pom-pom face and some with a embroider face.

They are just perfect for adding to hair clips, head bands, booties and more.

The new two-toned peek a boo flowers are made with cotton crochet thread and have a white top layer with a bright red back layer that peeks through the flowers at the petal edges. 

In the center of the flowers are white pearls.

So just a couple of new designs for January 2010.

ANew Year, A New Start, A New Beginning

Now that the New Year has begun, many new and exciting opportunities are in reach.  Being a almost 50 year old crafter, I spent much of the year learning a great deal about what is important when it comes to crafting. 

Having always enjoyed crafting since I was little, it has always been apart of my life.  Whether picking up a crochet needle to sewing.  Creating a painting to embroidering.  Everyone has something they enjoy doing and you have to ask yourself if you would like to earn money doing something you love.  Your hobby could turn out to be a money maker for you. 

So my wish to everyone reading this is that you have a successful year, filled with many new opportunities.  That you empower yourself, no one else is going to do it for you.  It starts with you, believe in yourself, your abilities, your product.  The big secret to having a successful business is there is no big secret.  Whatever your goal is you can get there if you're willing to work hard. 

Be willing to do what you think you cannot.

Happy New Year to All!

These are my new country rose flower.

The flowers measure approximately 1 1/2" to 2" and do fit on hair clips, head bands, hats, baby booties and more.

To order just contact me: lilyscrochet@yahoo.com

They will also be on etsy this week.

New Crochet Flowers 3" Wide for Beanie Hats

Roses, this is the country rose.  I made them larger 3" wide so that they can be placed on beanie hats and headbands.  I use these when I make my baby hats and even put them on the booties.  They really look great, very soft, and are very eye catching.

They are listed in my etsy shop with more colors to come as I get them made.

Adding a floral touch to your projects can be as easy as adding glue or sewing a flower on.

Flower can be made in solid, two-toned, triple layered with or without leaves, here is just a sample.

These are some of the applique designs that I currently make and are featured in my shop: http://lilyscrochet.etsy.com/.  If you are interested in a custom order please just contact me.
