Don't Whine....Twine!

I've been in full-on *feel sorry for myself* mode the last two days. My dental visit on Tuesday has resulted in two more future visits, the prospect of a great deal of pain and suffering, and many hundreds of dollars out the window.
~*~

In order to keep my mind off of the tooth nightmare at hand, I've been happily playing with my new bold, eco-friendly baker's twine purchased from The Twinery. Clicking on the logo above will bring you straight to their website...but be careful- this twine is GORGEOUS! They shipped very quickly, the twine is just as beautiful in person, and they ship internationally, too.

I purchased the Caribbean, Peapod, Pink Sorbet, and Maraschino. These gift tags will be part of the holiday goodies for sale in sosorosey. I'm thinking of offering them as a set of 4, but I also wonder about the idea of having a listing for individual tags as well. Do you think someone might want to purchase just one special tag? Your feedback is very appreciated!

Spring Bouquet

Welcome spring!

New sosorosey vintage fabric and crochet~edge gift tags are ready to be listed. I LOVE making these, but it is more of a production than you'd think to round up all the necessary supplies.

~*~

Pre-made tags, fabric, pinking shears, fabric glue, hole punch, crochet thread, small crochet hook, regular scissors... I got smart this time and made a little kit (ie. a baggie with all the stuff zipped inside) so that I can just make tags whenever the mood strikes and time allows!

Thank you very much to all who voted for the makeover fabric yesterday. I was especially happy to see some new faces (hi Kathryn!), and hear the thought out opinions of many of you. Between the votes left here, and the ones I got from an Etsy forum thread, the winner is.........

number 3!!!

That one got 10 votes, #2 was second with 6 votes, and numbers 1 and 2 had 4 votes each. Come on back Monday to see how it looks all done up!

Holiday Tags

~*~

Better late than never, I've just added some handmade tags in Christmas colors! I have a very limited supply of these red roses, though, so *darn* I will have to hunt for more very soon!

And Then There Were Blue

Happy weekend! I am knee deep in several large projects, and tag making is a great break from the fabric crochet. It is so relaxing, and I'm still loving the result. These sweet blues will be listed in my shop today or tomorrow.

Stay tuned for photos of my latest big nursery basket coming soon! It is being made to match this rug: click HERE to view.

What do you have on tap for the next couple of days?

Something New!

It's a little strange, I admit it, how in love I am with this new item. I can't stop looking at these, and holding them carefully, and marvelling at their dainty perfection.

A fabric swatch of a sweet pink rose from a vintage sheet, a scalloped crochet border, and a paper bead in complementary shades combine with a sturdy gift tag and thin polka dot ribbon to equal one thing: pure feminine romance.

~*~

What woman wouldn't melt a little seeing one of these on the top of a package? She'll never forget who the gift came from, because she won't want to throw away the tag! That's OK- it makes a great bookmark, too.

~*~

See Karen, I told you I would come up with something special to do with the gorgeous beads you made for me...I suspect you'll be getting another order for these soon!!

~*~

My only problem now is deciding whether to sell these individually,
or in sets of three. Opinions?
