Wow! I can't believe it's already been more than a month since my last blog post! There's so may things that I want to write about and have my little mental notes filed away, life however has kept me from sitting down to write anything new. So here is a little catch-up entry to let you know what I've been working on...
I've had a few new ideas and requests that have come up over the last couple of weeks and if you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you may have seen a few sneak peeks come up. A good friend of mine and fellow fiber artist Purple Goddess Design asked me to step out of my comfort zone and try making a soap. So after a couple of attempts to getting the right texture, I think I found one that I like. It's a wool wash and is perfect for washing your wool or linen items. PGD loves it to wash her wool yarns (which are fantastic!). Thank you Alicia for getting me out of my comfort zone. If you are interested in any wool wash for yourself, contact me and let me know. I'm in the process of getting everything onto my Etsy shop now, and will be posting the wool wash soon.
So that leads me into what else I have been working on. I FINALLY have my shop on Etsy open (It only took me about 7 months or so to stock it with at least one item and get it open)! As I said before, I am in the process of trying to get more items stocked on there. Again, those darn day-to-day things keep popping up (do the kids and animals REALLY need to be fed again?! And that laundry and dishes... where's that maid? Oh wait... guess my day job is calling. Hehe!). So if you are interested in something and don't see it just yet, please feel free to drop me a line and I'll be happy to get it on the shop so you can purchase. I do plan on getting multiple sizes of the wool wash on there, as well as my other skin care items, some hats and headbands, and of course some of my new items - recycled market bags and barefoot sandals. Please feel free to stop on by and have a look, let me know what you think. https://www.etsy.com/shop/DesignsByMeganG

Here's a few new sneak peeks at my latest creations that I'll be selling on Etsy as well as at my next craft fair - Reno Earth Day. My recycled market bags are made from old grocery/shopping bags and crocheted into a fun market bag. I love these for the farmers markets or for trips to the beach/pool. So versatile and I love that I get to recycle all those old bags that have piling up in my garage (and would always forget to take to the store to recycle). Another fun project I'll be premiering at the show are these barefoot sandals. I'll be making these in both adults and children's sizes. The kids and I love running around barefoot, so these are perfect for us (and so pretty!). And of course they are made with the fabulous yarn from PGD!
Also at Reno Earth Day, my friend LeAnn will be sharing a booth with me and selling her very cool recycled bottle plates/dishes and wind chimes. I love how crafty these are! They are made with recycled wine/beer/liquor bottles. Here's a little peek at what she makes:

If you are ever over in Sparks shopping, head on over to Recycled Rugrats. I have a small display of skin care items over there for the next few months. I am one of a few featured local artists over there. They currently have all my stock items, so if you are looking for something, head on over there! They also have great gently-used baby and kids items for sale if you are in the market.
In addition to Recycled Rugrats, I'm also joining the Indie Reno group in a co-op store in Reno at the Great Western Marketplace. The store will be opening later this Spring, so I will be sure to keep you updated as we get closer to opening. I'm so excited to be joining this great group of artists!
So with that, I must get back to making my wares for the next show... Hopefully I will be able to update the blog much sooner next time! I have a few things I'd love to write about including some about gardening and some about cosmetics and "no-poo". Thanks again for stopping by to read the blog!
