Kristine's Mix

Hot pink, lime green and royal purple.  You called it, Kristine- this is a lovely mix indeed!  I have been hard at work making new lacy mum combos.  Thanks to all for the suggestions!  You should see the ones you thought up in sosorosey at some point- if you don't, it's because I haven't found just the right shade of a certain color.  I'm not giving up, though!

Crochet Applique

I've dabbled in adding supplies to sosorosey in the past, but I didn't stick with it.  Something else came up, I got busy, yada yada yada.  In my quest to ready the shop for autumn, however, I have been playing around with different color combinations of my new "lacey mum" flowers. 

These sweeties come in small, medium and large, and will be sold in sets of 9 (3 of each size) for $10. 

Stack them to make a brooch, add a hairclip or headband for a one-of-a-kind hair accessory, sew them to totes, tee shirts, jeans, use them in scrapbooks, make your own garland.... the possibilities are endless.  A perfect gift for the do-it-yourself craft queen!  Or king.

 Look for these and other color combinations in sosorosey soon.  Can you think of other uses or suggest a special color combo?  Please leave a comment!

The Lotus Rose

Supplies are the best selling items on Etsy. Supply shops have the most sales on Etsy. I sell more fabric squares (supplies) in sosovintage than anything else. I wonder why it's taken me so long to realize I should offer some sort of supply in sosorosey?

I have been working hard to create a flower applique that suits my shop aesthetic; something classic, elegant, and simple. A flower you'd want to add to a pillow or tote bag to make it extra special. One you'd want to wear on a shoulder strap or headband.

I chose to work in natural cotton string for its unique look and texture. It's interesting without being overpowering. Adding a vintage button in the center will ensure that every one that I make will be a one-of-a-kind treasure. This is the first of what I hope will be many. What do you think?
