Teacher Gifts - Fingerless Gloves

I always have a hard time coming up with gifts in general. It's hard when you don't know the person  really well. I need to do a better job at not waiting to the last minute on making Teacher Gifts! Things were tight but I really felt like making something special for my Kids teachers. They are really great this year and I'm super thankful for that. 

 I just happened to get an order for my Key Tab Fingerless Gloves and I though that would make a great gift and whips up quick.  



So I went with fingerless gloves and a bottle of Nail polish. 
I have a Subscription to Julep for over a year now.  I love their Nail Polish and some of their beauty products too. I swear by their facial oil. My skin has never been clearer sounds strange but don't knock it till you try it. Okay back on track. I buy mystery boxes some times and I have lots of doubles. I give them out as gifts all the time.  I picked a polish I though that cordinated with the Gloves and that I thought they would like. 

If you'd like to make these fingerless gloves here is the link to the free pattern 

Be sure to check out the rest of the Key Tab Set too because It's my favorite Slouchy Hat ever! 

And if you don't crochet and would love me to make you some. Here is a link to purchase In Etsy
The can be made in 15 different colors! 


What kinds of teacher gifts did you make this year?

Birthday Gift's Crocheters and Yarn Artists Would Love

I just wanted to say thanks so much for all the birthday wishes. Turning 30 is weird to me. I don't feel different but something about that number is troubling me! Oh well got to grow up sometime! LOL! 

I got some fun gifts. A few I bought for myself that I'd been eyeballing for a while! 


Check out this awesome bag my mom got me! It's from ThrityOne and I'm in love with it. I want to get a matching tote bag for all my crochet supplies. This is now my postage bag. They know me in the post office pretty well now and one of the regular mail ladies said it was a nice upgrade from the cardboard box I was using. LOL ! Something tells me it may get filled up with yarn though. 


I finally bought some really cute stitch markers. I know I don't need them. I usually use a safety pin or a contrasting color of yarn but these are just to adorable. I purchased these from Day by Day Crochet. I asked her to make me five that matched my logo colors and she did them perfectly! Aren't they lovely! They are very light weight and don't pull on stitches. I have them hooked on my crochet coffee cup pin cushion so I don't lose them. haha! 


This last gift I purchased myself is just for fun. It's a heart shaped yarn ball stamp with a crochet hook in it. I bought it from a cute shop called Hoffee and a Nuffin. She hand carves these herself. I thought it was great quality and turn around time was fast. You can find these and some other fun stamps in her etsy shop.

I picked up a rainbow colored ink pad and used my 2 inch circle punch with card stock and made these little thank you circles! I may just use it to add a special touch to my packages, but we'll see how crazy busy this fall/winter season gets! 

So if you know any crocheters or other yarn artists. These would make really great gifts if you don't know what to get them besides well yarn....but you can't have to much of that right?
