So British !! TWINKKNITS Tea cozy

A little voyage to discover TWINKKNITS

Who makes Tea cozy, knitting patterns, earwarmers and  mug cozy 

 I have to admit that I am a little bit of a fan . These tea cosies are so fun and kitsch and ... so quintescentially British ! We do not hav ethem in France. They also make me think of one of the poeple in GoggleBox, who alway shave amazing ones too. Maybe she buys them in this shop ?

Here are my favs:

 Tea Cozy with large roses

In addition you will find also ear warmers, doilies, gloves and hats  in her shop.

"Elsewhere in life, I still feel like I'm crafting all the time. To craft is to make something magnificent from seemingly nothing. I have a passion for cooking (I wrote a cookbook once, though I'm way too shy to have shared it), and baking of course (what girl doesn't like brownies?), and gardening (I did a happy dance around the house when I got pepper plants to sprout from seed). To bring things together, to breath life into an object and put part of yourself into it, it gets my heart all a-flutter!"

And if you like Amada's work or want to follow her adventures in cooking, gardening, and the rest of life, check out her blog at https://homegrownjoy.wordpress.com/

At the moment, Amanda is offering a special 40% off on a selection of articles, fabulous to keep warm this winter in her etsy boutique .

multi talented Christian artist called Christi

Hello,

This week, I am introducing you to Christie of Christie Cottage, from Oklahoma US, who is a Proud member and The Team Leader of
CAPS - Christian Artists Promoting Shops
Proud member of
Etsy Promotions Team
Bluebird - Twitter Tree Team

So Christi, what are your passions ?
I like to paint, sew, knit and crochet. Anything that I can recycle is more fun!


My great-grandmother worked with her hands until they worked no more. My grandmother also worked with her hands until they worked no more. I spent a great deal of time with them. More so with my great-grandmother who was also one of the best friends I ever had. I learned that love is easily worked into every handmade item you touch. When I pick up a crochet hook, my great-grandmother's love floods my memory and thus, love is worked right in my piece.

Her little shop has some funny and quirky items, along with pdf crochet patterne to mek you rown little things yourself.
I noticed this little duck, whiochis a cell phone pouch, ideal for a Eastern present

The simple things in life are best. They are easily afforded. And are by far the most appreciated.

My blog: ChristieCottage.blogspot.com, si a Christian blog promoting handmade

What are some of the ways you market and promote your business/Craft?
I promote others as much as myself, using twitter and my blog. I host giveaways. I do not require the sponsoring shop to send me an item I use that opportunity to promote their shop(s). Items that I feature are either those I purchased or randomly find online.

One thing that I recommend is leaving feedback for your customers immediately. As soon as your payment is cleared, go first to feedback. It is how you thank your customers publicly.

My online sales motto. Don't get discouraged, get busy!

Thank you for featuring me on your blog. May God bless you richly! <>< P.S. I always sign my name with the Christian fish. It may be the only Christian witness people see all day Blessings!
Thanks you Christie for this insight int your creativity and your motivations
