COASTERS


I have a really good friend who calls me her 'personal crafter' because as she says, "you make awesome stuff!!"


My latest venture for her are these coaster sets made from plastic canvas. I am making 11 sets of these for her to give out as Christmas presents this year.
The colors are way more vibrant than how they came out in the picture but she said she loved how they turned out anyway....she's such a good friend!
If you would like a set of these coasters with the holder, please let me know. The price for this set is $12.50 plus shipping.

NOTHING TO SNEEZE AT


I love things that are out of the ordinary, and when I found this pattern for a tissue box cover in the shape of a couch I went nuts!!! Not only is it a crocheted miniature couch, it is also a tissue box cover. I made up my own pattern for the two little pillows that are sewn on, because I thought this navy was too dark to have the pillows stand out using the same yarn throughout. I made the actual pillow using the navy but then crocheted a little flower applique using a 3-ply yarn in an ombre shade. I think it turned out not too bad, although I might try a different brand of 4-ply yarn next time.


I can make this couch tissue box cover in any color that would match your decor. If you would like one, please leave a comment or visit my Etsy shop http://grannyscraftattic.etsy.com/ and convo me.
