Everything just keeps getting better and better..

I keep telling you guys that I'll be better at updating posts and showing you all of my new creations. The sad thing is, I'm only getting busier. There are so many weddings and birthdays in the next 3 months alone, on top of moving again, etc, etc. It's frustrating, stressful and I can barely keep my mind in shape. But I'm here now, so end mini rant. 

I recently had a Mothers Day Contest on my facebook page, Stitches and Weaves and Other Things, doing a simple trivia question, and had a grand prize, 1st and 2nd runner up. The grand prize winner received this bag that I crafted up. It was actually my first time lining anything crocheted, and it turned out really nice!

I forgot to take pictures of the 1st and 2nd runner up prizes, but I'll get one from them! I'm in the process of making a bigger purse for my mom for Mothers Day, so once that's done, I'll be putting both of these up for sale in my Etsy Shop :]

I also came across an AMAZING recipe for whole wheat dough for making calzones. It's this recipe, but I REALLY stuffed them. I made 3 out of all the dough, and it was basically 2-3 separate meals for each person. It was a lot. But delicious. This is what mine looked like. 

These were small plates, too. And the next day, just before heating up. But see? They're massive and that's only half of it. The recipe calls for 18 small ones, and now I see why. But the dough is so perfect. I also baked all 3 at once for 20 minutes. 

In other news, look what I got this morning! 

My business officially has it's own brand! I present to you, Stitches and Weaves and Other Things new label, Lucky Penny :D

My daughters name is Penelope, and since day one, I've called her my Lucky Penny. I've gotten more orders recently, and I'm promoting my business more, so I thought- why not put my own name on it? Or rather, my daughters? I make a lot of baby items, both sewn and crocheted, and I'm having a hard time deciding if just my baby items should have this label, or all of my work. What do you think? This is the first time I've ever ordered these, and so far I'm impressed. It was only $11.95 for 50 tags! That was the best price I found, and I looked for a couple hours. 

Hopefully I'll be able to update more, I'll try to make more time for everyone :).
