You are all invited to the

Grand Opening

     Etsy Shop

Yes, his gorgeous knit handbags are there along with some crafty bunnies and bears he and I have made. There is even one very special bear listed there that he finished all by himself and named "Tatoo".

The shop is still a work in progress as I learn my way around Etsy.

Thanks, Shane!

The knit bears are nothing like an 'artist' mohair bear...... just trying to stuff the buggers is a challenge. There isn't a lot of opportunity for scuplting, trimming, shading, etc. on the face either so they look so naked to me! But Dad is so proud of them and I'm proud of him for having the patience and energy to make them given how poorly he feels.

I just hope they all get adopted... that'll really give him a boost! One of his bags already sold so we're on our way!  :hug:

Wow  that excellent,  I think the bears and bunnies will get adopted no question,  just tell him to keep working away at it.

Hey Daphne & Frank...

Congrats on the Etsy Store...I'm SUPER excited that I was able to purchase Peaches!!!!  She caught my eye as soon as I saw her!  Can't wait to see her in "the fur".  I'm sure all the wonderful bags and critters will be adopted in no time at all...

I have to say that I begged and bought one of Frank's bag on the sly... and it arrived a couple days ago...it's awesome...I love it.  The colors are so much more vibrant than in the pictures.  Now if it would just quit raining and act like spring around here in Oregon I could swap bags. 

Go buy Frank's bags...they are wonderful!!!!
