Headbands with wool or felt flowers

I have decided to sell crochet headbands and fold over elastic headbands with wool or felt flowers in my shop next year. They are adorable and my girls are enjoying them. The flowers will be in a clip so it can be worn with or without the headband.

Welcome to my etsy store for handmade things for children and adults!

For the past couple of weeks, I've been very very busy creating things in order to open an Etsy shop and today, it's open!

Welcome to Stubborn Monkey's Store!

So what's the story? A year and a half go I started sewing dresses for my twin girls. I have never sewn before, so it was quite a challenge deciphering the patterns I picked up from the store. I persevered, and conquered! Since I had two make two everything, the first one was usually full of mistakes. Then I went on to make other things that I saw and wanted for my girls, but were too expensive.

Not all my creations for my kids, however. Some of them I did because I thought the craft would be interesting to learn. I have crocheted, knitted, cross-stitched, carved wood (this one I share with my hubby), and recently created hair bows, appliques and embroidered.

I don't know if I will ever sell anything, but they're great as gifts!

Please visit my Etsy shop, and please visit and like my Facebook page

If you have a Facebook account, please say hi and let me know how I know you! It would be super duper awesome! If I reach 50 likes, I will do a giveaway. That's a whole 50 fans! Imagine! :)

Thanks ya'll!

More appliqués

Two evenings ago, I decided to make more appliqués. I started a robot for Little M and Mickey ears for Big M. The next morning, Little M saw the robot and demanded I finish it.

I have decided to open an Etsy shop and sell my hand-made creations. I have appliqués, embroideries, hair bows, wood carvings, dresses, jewelry and more. I am not creating anything anything unique, so I think my hook would be that it will be more economical compared to other online shops.

I will probably not start until fall when the kids are in school. But spread the word! I can even start now if anyone want to contact me for anything I've created. :)
