Mitts For My Sis!

I came across these mitts today while packing an order for a recent customer. I knitted these gloves for my older sister...*ahem* last year, but never gave them to her.. Fingerless gloves have been on my mind a lot lately which means that I've got to get cracking so that my shop will be well stocked for the upcoming winter season. These particular gloves were knit using soft acrylic yarn and will be available in my store soon!

Oh... My BABY!!

Recently I opened a section in my shop entitled Made By My Kids that showcases items that my daughters and sons made. Well today I listed this beautiful Flower Petals Neckwarmer and Cuffs Set !! My 10 year old daughter made this set all by herself (with the exception of me sewing on the bow) and I couldn't be more proud! Pretty soon, she's going to put me out of business, lol!!

Ok, This Is Incredible!

Yesterday I noticed a huge jump in hearts for a particular item...I checked out www.craftcult.com to see what was going on. I found out that I was featured in the Etsy Gift Guides along with ANOTHER FRONT PAGE APPEARANCE featuring my Vintage Inspired Ascot Necktie!!! I am so humbled right now that I am speechless!

Another Beautiful Front Page Feature!!

I was pleasantly surprised last night when I found out that one of my Vintage Inspired Ascot Neckties was featured on the front page of Etsy Sunday evening!


I hope that this is the beginning of many more to come!

ICING On The CAKE!!!

One more surprise for my store anniversary today....

I WAS ON THE FRONT PAGE OF ETSY TODAY!!!!!

My ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY !!!

Well it has been quite a ride, and it will be one year this Friday July 3, 2009 that Yarncoture will be celebrating its first anniversary!! All my success that I have experienced my abilities/skills are all due to Almighty God...through rough times and good, I have to always remember that nothing happens without His permission! I've learned so many things...experienced many types of customers and I have to give a special thanks to my Australian supporters who have purchased things from my shop! It really means a lot when someone halfway across the world is moved enough to want to buy something without even seeing it in person...and the icing on the cake is when they leave wonderful feedback expressing how much they love my knitted and crocheted items!

I've got so many new and exciting things planned for the upcoming year...more items for the home and more women's and men's clothing. Childrens items will still be up in the air due to the CPSIA rulings. But don't worry: I'm still watching as to what the final rulings/laws will be so keep watching!

To celebrate my anniversary, I will be offering FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING on many of my scarves! I also have quite a few items ON SALE with reductions up to 60% off so be sure to stop by and check those out..you won't be disappointed!

To my bloggy friends/supporters (((HUGS))!!!! This blog couldn't have kept on going if there was no one to read my rants, jokes, and share my triumphs with. A warm Thank You goes out to all of you!

Until the next time..
