Two New Stores Carrying Chricket Designs!

Chricket Designs are now being carried at two new stores - on in Iowa City and one in Cedar Rapids.



Revival in Iowa City has the suitcase featured in the post below.

The Shop Next Door in Cedar Rapids also has a number of items! They are a brand new store so if you're in Cedar Rapids, go check them out!

As always, my items are available at Ephemera in the East Village of Des Moines. They just moved into an awesome new location and have a full class schedule that you should totally check out!

Suitcase Display!

I had a busy weekend last week and really pushed the limits of how much I can sew. I made headbands for two new stores. One of them requested a suitcase display, so here's their items, all ready to go!

Scarves!

I made some scarves out of t-shirts recently. I really like them and think they're so fun and casual. On Sale now, and surely more to come!

Made it to the Front Page!

Something exciting happened to me last week that had never happened before...I was on the front page of Etsy. Unfortunately, I didn't see it. However, thanks to the wonders of Craftcult I can see the compilation of which I was a part!

New Headband Styles

I have been struggling since I started my shop to find a consistent supply of headbands. It seems that there is no mass production of thin black satin headbands. Trust me on this - I've looked.

My ultimate goal for doing law school and crafting side by side was to develop my product line to the point where my tape measure headbands are made to order and I am only creating en masse for craft shows. My inconsistent supply of headbands was a serious deterrent to this goal.

I recently ordered some plain plastic headbands and this weekend took to making my own plain satin headbands. I must say, it's not the most pleasant thing and a lot of glue, sweat, and nauseous fumes went into their creation. However, I'm fairly happy with the result and it allowed me to carry my tape measure them further into the designs.

Thoughts?
