For this round of the Etsyblogger carnival, we were asked to do a show and tell for what will be in our shops this summer. I'm crafting in every spare corner of time that I can get right now, trying to get ready for the Renegade Craft Fair, so my "summer line" will inevitably come from that inventory.
So what am I making in Mama's Magic Studio right now?
More handcrafted knitting needles -- including a larger range of sizes! Having my knitting needles featured in The Storque really confirmed for me that I'm onto something special with these. (If you missed it, you can read the feature here.) I currently offer OOAK pairs in US sizes 8, 10 1/2, 11, and 16, with more on the way.
My bird's nest pendants have received a lot of great feedback. I especially like the special "grandmother's nest" design option, with larger egg pearls representing grown children and smaller egg pearls representing grandchildren.
I'm also making more bookmark baubles, bangle bracelets, fraternal earrings (especially the Knit the Knot Known design) and more of my signature beaded dragonflies.

I'm also making lots and lots of bird's nest pendants -- including a new color! Blue genuine freshwater pearls, for robin's egg nests. (A little bit of spring in the summer, I suppose!) I haven't yet had a chance to list any of the robin's egg nests, but they will be coming into the shop very soon.
Of course, I still offer the option to customize by number and assorted size of eggs (large or small) so customers can have a pendant that perfectly symbolizes their unique family arrangement.

I'll be listing many of these in my Etsy shop, though I'll probably not have time to get pictures of everything between now and Renegade. I plan to spend more time making and less time listing! And hopefully sell a bunch at the fair -- whatever I have left after Renegade will show up in the shop in late July and August. So stay tuned!

omg! i think i'm glad i waited on the nest eggs! i love robin's eggs, have a knack for finding the real nests...
Thanks, Splendid! Appreciate your comment very much!
That's very cool, Cathy -- what a great knack to have! Perhaps you noticed on my facebook fan page that I'm planning a etsy anniversary sale for early June.... stay tuned for details ;-)
so many people knit - putting beads on knitting needles makes them so unique! And I started calling the bookmarks you have "thongs" - someone, somewhere called it that, and it seemed so appropriate!
cute post! {:-Deb
thanks so much, Deb! I've heard them referred to as "thongs" as well... but it always makes me think of the undies, as though one were giving one's book a wedgie or something. So I decided to come up with my own moniker!
