An Apology

I want to take just a moment to apologize for the lack of blog posts and new products in the Calico Craft Designs Etsy store.  I will not be releasing any new items for the upcoming 4th of July holiday.  I simply have not had the opportunity and time to complete any new items due to my husband's medical issues and an unexpected surgery.  The recovery period has been difficult for us both but he is doing a little better every day.  As time passes, I'm sure I'll begin adding additional items for the Autumn season so please keep checking back.  I thank you for your patience and understanding.  I hope that you and your families have a wonderful upcoming 4th of July!

Enjoy This Mother's Day Weekend!

Mother's Day is just around the corner, and although I will not be able to spend this special day with my mom this year, I certainly will reach out to tell her how much she means to me.  I am very thankful to have her in my life.  I hope that you can celebrate with the special women in your life this upcoming weekend.  Happy Mother's Day to you!

New Upcoming Designs for Etsy

If you have visited the Calico Craft Designs Etsy Shop lately, you will probably have noticed the lack of any new items.  It has been one of those months where time has seriously gotten away from me.  I have started on a few fabric "rag" wreaths for Independence Day and I hope to have them completed very soon.

I've also been busy gathering designs and supplies for a few new upcoming designs to add to the shop.  I believe that it's time that I expand the shop's inventory from just fabric wreaths and candle-rings to include handmade, cross-stitch cards.  I'm excited about sharing this long-time passion with you by creating beautiful keepsake cards for you and your loved ones!  I hope to have these new items posted in the upcoming weeks.

Fireworks, Flags, and Stars...Oh My!


Getting ready for 4th of July!
A couple of weeks ago, I started my search for 4th of July items that I could use for fabric wreaths and deco mesh wreaths.  It's never too early to start those holiday projects!  I found a few things but then unfortunately, came down with bronchitis.  Not a fun couple of weeks.  So now that I'm better again, I of course, had to do more shopping.  Yesterday, I acquired a few more fun fabrics and accessories and thought I'd share a photo of my stash.  I'm looking very forward to getting started on a few items today and even have one design in my head that I hope will translate well to the real world.  I do hope the beautiful weather lasts today so I can even work on something outside!

What plans do you have today?

New Items in Etsy Shop!

I added a couple of new items to the Calico Craft Designs Etsy Shop today.  One is a beach-themed fabric candle-ring and the other is another "rag" wreath for St. Patrick's Day.  This one has a small wooden sign in the center that simply says "Luck".

Check them out at the shop today before they are gone!

Spring is in the Air!


Spring is in the air!  Or at least in the fabric stores!  :-)  I did a little shopping yesterday and found some great fabrics and ribbons that I hope will make beautiful "rag" wreaths and fabric candle-rings.  This variety of patterns is for both St. Patrick's Day and the upcoming Spring season.  I picked up a few special surprises that I'll share a bit later.  ;-)  I can't show you everything all at once!  Be sure to check back here, on our facebook page, or on the Calico Craft Designs' Etsy Shop to see the finished items.
