Happy New Year

 Sorry its been so long since my last post. I had a medical emergency on Nov 5th 2020 and have been trying to figure it out and get the right treatment ever since. I finally got a tentative diagnosis last month, but there is no definitive way to get a diagnosis for Lymphedema. No treatment really either, just massage therapy and according to my doctor, it won't get better because the lymphatic system doesn't heal. But, at least they've stopped telling me I'm just fat and to lose weight, since I lost over 25 lbs in 3 months and it didn't help. 

   Anywhoo, I have still been crocheting up a storm, you can see what I've been up to on my Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/nanettewymbs/, my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/NanetteCrochetNotions or my Etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/NanetteCrochets

Been A While

 Sorry I haven't posted in over a month. I've been trying to get my craft room cleaned up and trying to keep up with all the social media accounts. Needless to say, I have fallen behind on a couple.

   I have made a few new items from Unicorns to Pokemon like these:

Each of these turn out pretty big, 19 inches tall. The first 2 are a part of the new shop, Krafty Katz Studio and come with jewelry from Wire Wolf Treasures and a sewn bag or 2 from Krafty Katz Studio.

 This week and next I will be preparing for my first, last and only craft fair of the year. One of the coordinators has rented a store in a local mall so we can have a sale. We are be treated the same as a consignment shop or a Spirit Halloween store. I have purchased clear, plastic table covers so I can wipe down my booth between customers, I have Lysol spray for my items to keep them germ free, large price signs so no one needs to handle items to find a price, and of course masks, gloves and hand sanitizer for myself. 

Hopefully this all goes well and crafters and artist can get back to in person selling.

New Partnership!

 Nanette Crochet and Wire Wolf Treasures are now partnering to form a new Etsy shop, https://www.etsy.com/shop/KraftyKatzStudio

We will be putting together some gift sets that include a crocheted item from Nanette Crochet and a piece of jewelry from Wire Wolf Treasures like these:

We have also decided to try adding some sewn items too. We sold this change purse and plushie set

We will also be selling many jewelry items like Tree of Life pendants

and other wire wrapped jewelry.

Please take a few minutes to check out the new store, or visit our Facebook pages https://www.facebook.com/wirewolftreasures or https://www.facebook.com/NanetteCrochetNotions

I will be adding more items daily 

All the sea creatures have been priced for the sidewalk sale this weekend. Prices have been discounted for this live sale. These prices are for in person purchase only.
Thank you

Sidewalk Sale Update

I just finished pricing all of the Pokemon for next weekend.

With all the summer fairs and festivals cancelled, I have decided to have a sidewalk sale. I am partnering with Wire Wolf Treasures. She will be offering her wire wrapped jewelry and sewn accessories and I will have my crocheted items.

What a Month

Sorry it's been almost a month since my last post. My state is starting to re-open and we've been trying to get my husband back into a work routine. We have also had to make some home repairs during the last month when a drain pipe in the master bathroom developed a 3 inch long crack and leaked into the laundry room ceiling.
   On top of all of that, we lost a fur baby to old age. We rescued (by that I mean caught in the yard) a couple of guinea pigs 6 years ago, after bringing them inside we found one to be pregnant and ended up with six little black ball of fur. As of today, we have 2 of the original babies still living the high life in their brand spanking new cage. We also have a new multi colored long haired baby in another cage (the 2 original are boys and the new is a girl so NO shared cages for them). We are going to go to the pet store this week and get another little girl to keep her company.
   I have completed a few more abandoned projects in the last month too. I found a Charmander that was missing his limbs and an orange blob that I turned into another Trapinch.

I am now working on a new project. I am making plushies of Australian animals. I've finished a wombat and I'm almost done with a platypus. I will post pics when I have a few more done.
