I've been busy!

I've been on a roll making stitch markers these past few days. I am sending out 4 to my Bead it partner, and 4 to a local friend, and 8 to a buddy up in Washington...and a few of them are for me!! :) I've had a sore throat the past few days, so I haven't felt like doing much, but tonight I'm knitting down at Stella's with some friends...that's just what I need. A little hang out time with my knitting crew! This weekend the forcast is for sunny weather, so I'm planning on cleaning off my porch and planting some flowers. Have a great weekend everyone, and I hope it's filled with lots of knitting time!!

Your stitch markers are A-dorable! I love the asian charms you posted a few days ago, and those pink elephants.... so cute. Can you drop me an email with some info on where you found the elephants and asian themed charms... I must acquire some!!! (I am obsessing over them)

I love your stitch markers as well! It's so good to see all the different ones people make-- I'm often stuck in my own ideas of the kind of stitch markers I like to knit with and make.

Now that I've been making them for the Bead It, I'm inspired to make more, more, MORE!!!

(Please say the Effel Tower is going to Cathi, right???)

How cute! I've been wanting to get my beading stuff out for a few days now. It's kinda buried in a closet. Grr...

You make fantastic stitch markers! SO CUTE! Do you know if there is a good place to purchase beads online? Where do you get yours?

I must make some - yours are just too cute and I can't resist any longer! and since you were so kind to post your tutorial it will be a snap :-)

Oh, the pink elephants are adorable! Inspiration for the stitch markers I'm going to make this morning...

Very cute! Making stitch markers is so addictive!

They are wonderful!!

I wanted to stop by and thank you for the tutorial you did the other day. I've been thinking of making some markers myself for a while, and you really inspired me. I didn't know before what material I needed, but now I've ordered some and will soon get to work. :-)

What do you charge??

Very cute bead markers. Love the little pink elephants. You're having too much fun for one person! *L*

Oh wow! So pretty!

Thanks everyone for all the kind words!! Wow, I'm overwhelmed! So, in answer to where I get my beads: I get them from local bead shops, primarily one called Bead It! I've never ordered beads online. So if you have any good bead connections on the internet, drop me an email, and then I can post the link, or better yet leave it in the comments here! Or wait, maybe you shouldn't, it could be dangerous!!

In answer to the question, "What do I charge?" Well...I don't know, since I've never sold any! The ones that I was referring to in the entry were ones that I was giving away as gifts. I guess I should think about that one though. :)

Now...back to knitting, I mean working!!
