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.

Etsy Shop Updates

The Calico Craft Designs' Etsy Shop has been updated with a new Valentine's Day fabric wreath and brand new photos for many of the products.  I've been working to try to improve my photography and give the store a more cohesive look.  Currently, there's even a SALE on all of the Valentine's Day items in the shop!

The new rag wreath is approximately 16 inches wide with red, pink, white, and black fabrics, ribbons, and tulle.  It has a small, pink and glittery wooden sign in the middle that simply says "Love".

Check it out!

New Look for CCD!

I wanted to give a big "shout-out" to Maranda of Cyan Sky Design for providing the new logo and avatars for Calico Craft Designs!  The Calico Craft Designs blog, facebook page, and Etsy store now all have a cohesive look and feel to them.

You can view more of Maranda's work by visiting her Etsy shop at http://www.etsy.com/shop/CyanSkyDesign.

Thank you so much Maranda!

Grand Opening on Etsy!

Today is the Grand Opening for the Calico Craft Designs store on Etsy!!!  WooHoo!  Currently, the inventory in the store is small but I am always working on new designs and I will be adding a few things very soon.  Right now I have been focused on Valentine's Day but I hope to have items for all year round coming soon.  Please check out the new Etsy store at http://www.etsy.com/shop/CalicoCraftDesigns.  I hope that you will keep checking back to see my new stock.  Please let me know if you have any suggestions or have any special requests for items that you would like to see in the store.

Thank you so much for your support of handmade gifts.

Remember?

Remember that Valentine's Day fabric I bought after Christmas?  Well, I have been working on a few designs with some of the fabrics and ribbons and I decided to post a couple of photos before they go into the new Etsy store (opening soon, yay!).  One is from a new candle-ring and the other is from a new heart-shaped wreath.  Comments and feedback are definitely welcome and appreciated.  I would love to hear your suggestions for new color combinations.

Etsy Store Opening Soon!

I have been working hard on building up my inventory and setting up my Etsy Store for Calico Craft Designs.  I hope to have it up and running in another week or two. (Yay!)  I've completed a few items for Valentine's Day and am already looking ahead to St. Patrick's Day and Easter.  Whew!  Thank you for checking back and keeping tabs on my progress.  I should have photos to share very soon. 

Thank you again for all of the support and encouragement I have received thus far.  Slowly but surely wins the race as they say!

Happy, Happy New Year!!!

I hope that you and your families have a wonderful and safe New Year!  Welcome to 2013!
