New Crochet Pattern: Boxes, Bottles, Cans, Cartons & Jars

I've redesigned my Canned Goods pattern by making the items a little smaller so that they are the right size for play kitchens and grocery stores. I also added patterns for boxes, cartons and bottles. The result is my Boxes, Bottles, Cans, Cartons & Jars pattern. Using these shapes you can make tons of play food items for your kids! The tall jar can be mayo or peanut butter. The tall cans can be what ever canned veggie or soup you want. The squeeze bottle can be ketchup, syrup, or salad dressing. The possibilities are endless! Happy crocheting :)

New Crochet Pattern: Tea Set

I can't believe that I haven't designed a new pattern in a year! Things have been pretty hectic since the baby was born last year. This pattern has actually been finished for months but I finally had time to photograph it. I hope you enjoy it! With any luck I'll be able to finish and photograph a couple of other patterns soon.

I Changed My Shop's Name!!

Tonight I took the leap and changed the name of my Etsy shop. I was waiting and waiting for the day when Etsy would let us change our shop name, and then when they did I was too chicken to do it! I didn't want to have to change my blog and Flickr accounts or confuse my customers.

But I was always embarassed by my shop name -- it sounded kinda cheesy. When I chose the name I wasn't even sure that I would sell anything on Etsy or what products I would sell. Now that my shop is 100% focused on crochet patterns for toys, I thought it was time to finally do it. Hopefully everyone can still find me :)
