Ardella's Coat

Here is a swing number made at the request of great customer. After seeing last years designs she asked for a little wiggle room. This orange swing was made especially for her and I hear the 2 are doing just great.

Green Dream

This olive green jacket is a wool blend, crochet with 2 strands of yarn and fashioned with handmade buttons and inset pockets. She is featured here with a funfur scarf of similar color.

The definition of FABULOSITY

Fabulosity: in a state of being or feeling fabulous. This is what immediately came to mind as one of my latest customers, Roz, tried on my Knotty Crochet Coat. She was so excited that she exclaimed " I have been waiting for this coat for years" though I only started making them last year. She did a quick financial calculation on her fingers, put a deposit on the coat on Saturday, paid the balance on Tuesday and wore it out the door though the weather was a little warm for it. She may have felt good about the purchase but her enthusiasm made me feel wonderful. To have made something that will put her in a state of FABULOSITY every time she wears it I would guess makes me fabulous too.
