I dragged my feet on opening up a store with Zibbet. Even though the Neki Naturals Store @ etsy is doing well, I will like to continue to share my designs and products with more people.

I love to crochet, I love to design crochet items and I love to meet new people. I like the Zibbet community and their store front so I finally loaded in our products yesterday on zibbet.  

To launch our store in zibbet, every item item is 20% off till 12/31/2010.

Tip of the day: Wonders of Fabric Glue

One of the things that gives me anxiety is sewing. Sometimes, I just wish someone else can do the sewing of all my crochet pieces. It drives me nuts.

So what's the tip?

As I was finishing up crocheting laptop sleeve, one of my sister's friends who is a fashionista gave me a wonderful idea: She said to use fabric glue for the zippers instead of sewing it . It's cleaner, faster and so much easier for us non sewing artists!


Enjoy!

4 Simple Things to do for Color Inspiration

Sometimes I get stuck in trying to get inspiration on colors to use in different crochet items. I have learned to step out of my comfort zone and seek color inspiration  from different places, things and people.


To be color inspired, try the following:

• Visit museums and galleries and look at different paintings and how different colors have been put together.

• Look at the flowers, plants, parks, birds, animals and insects, etc. For me, this fall leaves were a great inspiration to me. I had never paid attention to the fall colors but I was amazed at nature.

• Check out magazines, fabric swatches, paint clips, and cut them and put them in a scrapbook.

• Go back to your scrapbook and review often until certain colors "speak to you".

Enjoy!
