New Items to be added

I will now be taking special orders for cross stitched items. My specialty is larger items such as the pictured quilt patterns here. Each completed cross stitch pattern is around 8 inches by 10 inches (or larger depending on the type fabric used) and is absolutely gorgeous. I have completed several of these patterns already as Paula Vaughan is my all-time favorite designer. They turn out absolutely beautiful.

I have also completed a Thomas Kinkade cross stitch picture in the past. For those of you who know his works, the pictures are very intricate and colorful and well worth the effort.

I also work on smaller cross stitch items, such as tea towels, samplers, cross stitch baby blankets, and pillow fronts.

If you are interested in having a personalized item, I do have a cross stitch software program at home that can convert .jpg images into cross stitch patterns and I can cross stitch your family or pet from your own image you send me. I will be trying to take some pictures of projects I have already completed to post so that you may see the quality of my work.

Some of my completed works include: Precious Moments pictures, Thomas Kinkade patterns, Paula Vaughan patterns, stamped cross stitch baby quilts, cross stitched name tags, personalized clothing (send me the item you want the picture or monogram on and I will add it, or tell me the size needed and I can send it to you that way), samplers, animal patterns, Biblical patterns, mythical creature patterns, triptychs, and Christmas patterns (like small ornaments).

Please feel free to contact me with your specifications. I will begin working on Christmas orders this month, so don't delay. I want to make sure that you get your gift in plenty of time before the Christmas rush, I work quickly, but not THAT fast!

I can still be reached via email at carrottopcrafts@mail.com or you can send me an instant message through Yahoo! by my ID of carrot_top_crafts.

Have a great day!

Yes, I'm still here.

Oh, my. I never meant for it to be so long between my posts. Fear not, craft enthusiasts, I have not disappeared from the face of the earth. It's been the exact opposite. I have been so busy that I haven't had the time to sit down long enough to post anything.

Let's see, to summarize what has been going on since the beginning of May.....

1) The last time I went to the local flea market was the Saturday before Mother's Day. You would think that it would be a busy day, with everyone buying last minute gifts for Dear, Sweet Mumsy. Nope. I only sold one item that day, and it was to my own mother.

2) I sponsored a contest with a group that I am affiliated with and offered 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes for them. Again, I only sold one item that night. And only the 1st and 3rd place prize winners picked up their prizes. Hmmmm.

3) I am starting to work on special orders for crocheted items. I'm getting ready for the fall season by promoting my hand crafted sweaters, coats, scarfs, and other cold weather items. Place your orders now, before I get so busy that I won't be able to fill yours before the cold weather hits.

I will try and make more time to post more pictures of the new jewelry I have made since April. I have several different necklace patterns now that I think you will really like.

Until next time,
Heather
