New Year, New You

The first post of a new year needs a fitting theme. So I challenged the team to find something that says "new year" and/or "new you". Here's what they gave me...

From NansGlam:

Gray Pearl Dangle Earrings

sunclassixx says:

This top represents the new year by the fresh look of the rose blooms...

Rose Bloom Halter Top

Babywear by Babs says that these mittens represent: 

1. This year I am expanding my shop inventory into more mittens
2. This year I am planning on using lots of bright colors in all my new inventory
3. This year I am planning on expanding into selling .pdf patterns and this mitten pattern is going to be the first - coming soon.
4. This new year is clear and cold and these mittens are perfect for this type of weather

The Lady Horologist says:

New year. New moon. New blossoms. This item helps remind me of the cyclical nature of the world. What was once new could be new again, and things won't always be tough.

From Knit2Create:

Newborn Baby Boo Hat

cserpent Designs says:

New me - new pictures! Santa brought me a new photo setup and I can get true purple with no photo edits. Here is my first new design with photos from my new setup! 

Royal Purple Amethyst Lampwork and Sterling Earrings

Live Plush says: 

New Year is like a new start to life
Vibrant green depicts early delicate life of a plant that needs nurturing, but as the plant matures it will in turn be very rewarding
Our homes just like plants need a little inexpensive nurturing with curtains and they will provide us with comfort and a place like a sanctuary where we can relax and unwind.

Happy New Year.

New to Me

This month I set out to find some shops from our team that I was not familiar with. I was gratified to find some new members (as well as some members I had not come across before).

It's good to see the fiber artists out there...

And what fun! Decorative bottles. (Or useful bottles? Same difference.)

I can't do a post like this without showing off some earrings...

Or something orange. (An orange birthday card. How cute!)

And a little cover for a mini tablet (or ereader). This is just too cool!
