Happy New Year!!!

Welcome to 2014!!!

I hope that you have a safe and wonderful start to the new year.  Thank you for your support of handmade crafts.  I hope that you continue to watch Calico Craft Designs for new and exciting products in 2014!  Happy New Year!!!

Celebrating the Things that Go Bump in the Night

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and Autumn is definitely my favorite time of year.  The warm days and cool nights.  The beautiful and rich colors of fall leaves.  The rich aromas of cinnamon, mulberry, pumpkin, and baked apples.  And of course, the ghoulish and sometimes very sweet decorations and costumes.  I love it all!

To help you celebrate Autumn and Halloween this year, I have added three more rag wreaths to the Calico Craft Designs Etsy Shop but here's sneak peek for you below.  I hope you will stop by a take a look at what we have to offer and as always, suggestions and comments are very welcome and appreciated!

Calico Craft Designs Proudly Presents....

One of the new cross-stitch Halloween cards

Calico Craft Designs proudly presents new handmade cross-stitch cards for Halloween in the Etsy Shop!!!  I have expanded the product line to now include small cross-stitched items.  I will continue to produce fabric rag wreaths and candle-rings but felt that a few cross-stitched items would also be a good fit.

Five Halloween cards have been added to the shop and I'll be starting on other projects very soon.  I've also added a new Candy Corn Rag Wreath and a Candy Corn Candle-Ring.  Who doesn't love sugary candy corn?!?!

I'd love some feedback on what you think of the new items.  Enjoy and be sure to visit us again soon!

Getting Back into the Groove

Life is finally starting to get back to "normal" around here and I'm happy to say that progress has started again on creating items for the Calico Craft Designs Etsy shop.  I'm focusing on the upcoming fall and holiday season.  I hope to have new items loaded later this month or early September.

I have finished a couple of small cross-stitch pieces for Halloween cards and thought I'd share them as a sneak peek.  I can't wait to see how these come out in the finished cards.

Hope you are having a wonderful summer!  Be sure to check back again soon.

Happy Independence Day!

I hope that you and your families enjoy a wonderful and safe 4th of July.  Happy Independence Day!

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!
