Another Mermaid Tail

Yes, I know this is identical

to the previous Mermaid Tail Blanket

but they loved the colours so much

that they wanted it to be the same!

Either way, 

here are some photo's!

(Taken with my phone as camera has retired)

Mermaid Tail Blanket

I have just finished crocheting my first

Mermaid Tail Blanket!

This was a custom request by a family member

who chose the colour scheme herself.

This tail measures 52" or 132cm from top to tip of tail.

Excluding the tail, it is 38" or 96cm long.

The waist circumference is 47" or 119.5cm 

The recipient is 6 year old but I wanted it to be big and cosy for her

(I can just fit in this one)

I've got two more to make, these ones a bit smaller though!

Chunkystitches Labels

I've been seeing these type of labels

on hand made knit and crochet items

all over Etsy and Made It for a while now.

I really like the finished look they give

these items so I decided that my brand

needed something similar.

Most of the labels I've seen are wooden ones

but I felt that ultra-leather would suit

my items a lot more than the wooden tags.

So I jumped on Etsy, found "Grain Deep"

and ordered a handful of labels with

Chunkystitches on them 

Aren't they just the best!

And they make the beanie's I've made

look 110%, instead of just 99%!

The name is actually burnt into the leather

and these are super soft and flexible.

I love, love, love them!

A Teal Blue Owl

I've just completed a custom made

Teal Blue owl!

I really love these shades of blue

and love that strangers can

suggest colour combo's

that I wouldn't have thought of myself!

Baby Character Beanie

This little beanie

was a special request from my

sister's fiance for their new little bub Hudson!

I used a standard beanie pattern

and improvised the ears.

It was ridiculously quick to make up

and I think I might have to make more

for sale in my Made it Shop

Spikey Brontosaurus

Only a few days ago I posted the

Brontosaurus I made without his spikes.

Well here he is with his spikes attached

and he's already off to his new home!

Brontosaurus

I've recently made a Brontosaurus

from the Fresh Stitches pattern Cliff the Brontosaurus

Although, I will be adding orange spikes down his back, 

which might actually make him a different type of dinosaur?

This item is available for Custom Order

Chunky Stitches on Made It's Shopping Guide!

Made It is an online shopping site 

selling hand made items

(Similar to Etsy but without the "handmade" items)

for Australian sellers.

Yesterday I listed Made to Order Owls

based off the Fresh Stitches pattern

and woke up this morning to an email

saying they have made it onto the

Shopping Guide! 

You can check out the shopping guide HERE until Friday.

This is very, very exciting!!

I've already had 58 views today, which also brings 

attention to my other items.

I chose to sell on Made It as I'm in Australia

and feel because there are thousands and thousands

of crocheters selling their crafts around the world,

I might fare better in a local marketplace.
