Blog giveaway coming in January!

It's time for my first blog giveaway! Coming in January, a giveaway featuring items for moms, with the theme, "Try something new this New Year!"

I'm excited, and a little scared...I've been a part of other blog giveaways, mainly on the Etsy HC Street Team blog, but this is my first one on my own! Wish me luck!

If you would like to be involved, just contact me at s_gilly_5@yahoo.com, for more information!

Nigiri Sushi Longies

A while back, I listed a 100% HC$ auction on Hyenacart. Katherine of Love Abounds was the lucky winner! She wanted a pair of longies crocheted to match this fabric:


She wanted solid black, with accents. Here's what I came up with:


I wanted to add some sushi for her as embellishments, but I couldn't figure it out! So I decided to fall back on my mom's favorite medium, cross-stitch. I'm so happy with how they turned out!



I over ordered the same colors, so I can use the leftovers for a matching pair for my daughter, or maybe a cute top for her. I haven't decided, but I do know I love the look of the cross stitch on these, and I'll be doing something similar again.

Katherine, of Love Abounds, sells fantastic confections, and other wonderful food items. She sells at Etsy, and at Hyenacart. Check her out!
