Genealogy * Another Great Passion of Mine

Another great passion of mine is tracing my family tree ... every single little twig!  I've been at it for about 23 years and it is still as addicting to me now as it was then.  Although, I don't have as much time as I'd like these days to research.  I would like to take at least one day a week for genealogy. This very old and fragile photo is from about 1904 (not in very good shape, I'm afraid) and it is the only photo I have of my Grandmother as a child and, it is also the only photo I've seen of my Great-Grandfather as a young man.  I'm curious to know, of those who have researched their family history, how far back have you gotten?  Feel free to comment below! ;)



"S'mores" Mug/Cup Cozy

I recently added mug/cup cozies to my Etsy shop and this one reminds me of S'mores, hence the title of this post!  You can find this one here.



Halloween Themed Wine Bags

Wine Bags have been a pretty popular item at Tangles, especially around the holidays.  Here are some with a Halloween theme, although I think the minions could be for any time of the year. ;)  You can find the minion wine bags here and the candy corn and orange & black bags here.  All wine bags in my Etsy Shop are currently on sale through October 2015.

Christmas Stocking Hat & Matching Diaper Cover

The Christmas Season is fast approaching!  This Christmas stocking hat with pom pom will look absolutely adorable on your little one this season!  The matching diaper cover is adjustable (usually to 9 months) and has a crocheted snowflake applique on the back.  The set also makes a great photo prop for some of baby's first pictures!  You can find it here in my Etsy Shop and it can be custom ordered in other colors and sizes.  If you only need the hat, just shoot me a message and I'll be happy to help you. ;)





Crochet Apple Pouch

Christmas will be here before you know it!  This sweet apple pouch is a great gift idea for teachers. It will fit a gift card and/or small candies inside and has a bead or button closure.  The pouch could also be used as a sachet ... just fill with your favorite scent or potpourri.  I crocheted these using this pattern by Pattern-Paradise and have them in my Etsy Shop here.
