Cellphone case/iPod case

I took this picture with the case on its side so that you can better see all of the colors.

fingerless gloves

These fingerless gloves are lightweight and can be worn any season. They also can stretch to fit from children to adults. I made a pair for my daughter to use for her exama.. She puts on her hand cream and then the gloves. Its amazing how fast her skin clears up.

braided head/hairband

Just a basic hair band that stretches to fit almost all heads. Made out of the Easter Basket color, I was able to create a wonderful mix of colors. My daughter and I have matching ones made out of the I'm a Big Boy color (can you tell yet that its my favorite to work with?)

Cellphone case/iPod case

This cellphone/iPod case also has a pocket for your ID/credit or debit card/cash as well. Now that I have the pattern down it can be made in just about any color. My personal preference is using multi-colored, however. This is made in I'm a Big Boy color.

Swine Flu

As the Swine Flu spreads through the US, I've been getting a bit worried about it. Here's a link to the Center for Disease Control's information about it. Also a list of what they recommend:

Avoid close contact.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.

Stay home when you are sick.
If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness.

Cover your mouth and nose.
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick.

Clean your hands.
Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.

Practice other good health habits.
Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.

This is a concern for me because of me having Lupus. My husband laid down the law yesterday. He told me that I'm going to carry hand sanitizer everytime we go out and I'm not allowed to touch anything, like doors, shopping carts, things like that. Understandable because I contracted MRSA like that 2 years ago this week. Not a fun week in the hospital and I don't care to ever repeat that one. So I will be wearing gloves when we go out as well. We are also going to keep a close eye on my daughter, when she comes home from school, for any signs of being sick. If so we will not be sending her back to school until she's better.

Cellphone cases

Since I'm using my phone to take the pictures I ran off with my husband's phone to show the sizes of them. One is green and one blue (but made from the same skien of yarn), again they can be combined with some hair accessories and/or the flat purse. Made with 'I'm a Big Boy' colored yarn. I haven't decided if I'm going to make straps or not just yet. What do you think? The could also be used for iPod products

Hair Accessories for the sets

Again, not the greatest picture, but you get the idea. A braided one, one in green, one in blue and one of blue/green. These are designed to match the flat purse and cellphone/iPod cases. All of these items are made from the same skien of yarn, I'm a Big Boy

Flat Purse updated

This is one of the basketweave flat purses that I have been working on. Its only the shell. I still have to line it and make the straps. Again there are matching hair accessories and cellphone purses. Not the best picture since its from my phone, but you get the basic idea. :) This is made from a skien of yarn called I'm a Big Boy.

flat purse

The basketweave, flat purse is coming along nicely. I'm using the Easter Basket color and the I'm a Big Boy color and plan on lining the inside with a piece of cloth. I still need to take pictures and post them. The ones that I took of the cell phone/iPod cases just didn't come out all that well. As soon as I get them, I will post them. So far everyone that has seen them loves them. Well my daugther's favorite is the one with 2 pockets and she keeps trying to run off with it. :)

Promotion

After talking to a few people I decided that adding Twitter.com to my links would hopefully promote my shop better. So http://twitter.com/AngelsRealm is where I will be adding some short updates/links/pictures to, along with here (but at Twitter you can follow me through text updates). However here will have way more details and pictures.

I've got 3 different cellphone/iPod cases done. While the reviews from everyone around here are great, I'm still not happy with the design. Artist's choice, however. :) I think I'm going to switch over to hair ties and scrunchies while I work on another cellphone/iPod case design.

Hi everyone

Sorry its been so long since I've been around. My health took a tiny turn to the bad, but I'm back now.

I've spent the last couple of days trying to come up with a new design for a cellphone/iPod case that has a pocket for your credit cards, ID and come cash. It can be hung around your neck, over your shoulder or tied to a belt loop. So long as I can keep my daughter away from them I will be able to post a picture or two of what I have come up with. No two are going to be exactly the same, thus the charm of them. :)

I really need to post more things in the store. I have the hardest time coming up with catchy descriptions.

That's about it for now. Its time to get back to knitting. I hope you all are enjoying Spring.
