Knitted Wristlets

My mother has been making these cute knitted wristlets thanks to my friend's request. My friend wanted something to replace her old coin purse/wallet that would be big enough to fit her cards and money as well.

Here are two of the wristlets that she came up with. They are both zippered and lined. She also knit the flowers and leaves as decorations. Click on the pictures for the listings in our Etsy shop.

Sweet Birthday Wishes Cupcake Card

Check out my cupcake card! I've made a few of these now for friends now but just recently listed them in my Etsy shop. Click on the first photo to go directly to the listing. I designed the cupcake parts and handcut them. The heart and "sprinkles" are from paper punches. I glued each piece and each sprinkle! I also stamped a greeting inside the card and a cupcake image on the envelope. It's a lot of work but it's oh so cute!

Food Post

I noticed I haven't posted much on new products. I promise I will have something soon! In the meantime, here's a post on our culinary abilities. Red Lobster got nuthin' on us! Cheddar Cheese Baked Salmon with grilled shrimp and squash and scallion mashed potatoes. My husband's idea. He did the salmon and grilling and I did the mashed potatoes.

Out of Comission and new pendant photo

I took a free open level yoga class over two weeks ago. It was a much faster paced than I have ever done. I rested a few times too but I guess it was not enough. Three days after that class my left wrist started to fill a bit stiff and a particular point would hurt. I didn't do anything for it other than massage it and use a heat pad every so often. Then more of my wrist hurt and it was hard to make jewelry! I knew it was time to have it checked out. So i went to a Chinese Medicine doctor. He massaged certain points along my shoulder and arm with such strength that I had tears coming out of my eyes! i was screaming too! well, not that loud. then there was one point near my shoulder that made my entire arm twitch and felt like lighting shot through my arm! i think that was what he was looking for. then he put an herbal wrap on my wrist and this is what it looked like for the rest of the day.
I was making some earrings when I realized it was pretty painful to do with my left hand! So I have to be out of commission with making jewelry for awhile until the pain is completely gone.

I did get to take some pictures of my Dragonfly pendant.
