New Partnership

This coming year will be for new beginnings. There are three of us who love to craft, so we are joining together to sell. Dani is from California and loves to do stitcheries; Nancy is from Wisconsin and loves to make bath products; and I'm from Texas and love to quilt and sew. We all do custom orders also. We do have items for sale in two groups in Facebook, Huggins Haven Hand Made Crafts, and Handmade in the USA and SE Texas. We would love for you to visit us.

This is a new year!

Happy New Year!  Seems like 2013 just flew by.  I'm hoping for only good things for 2014.
Our Senior Gift Shop is doing pretty good.  We don't have too many "strangers" walking in, but hopefully our new ad in our local newspaper will bring in people.
Some of the ladies, including myself, are now making crocheted dishcloths and crocheted dishcloth scrubbies.  I've listed some in my etsy shop.  I'm also working on some quilted hot mats to add to the kitchen table.  Also, we will be adding some quilted placemats.  If you live in the Golden Triangle, come visit us.  I can also mail any item, for exact shipping costs.

Senior Citizen Gift Shop

Yesterday I took a few photos of our gift shop at the Senior Center. We've added some more items, so I'll take more picture tomorrow. Here are a few items we have: crocheted and fleece scarves, sweatshirt jackets, decorated, lighted wine bottles, Avon gift baskets, raggy quilts, fabric boxes, raggy burp cloths, cat toys, Christmas table runners, crazy quilt coasters and much more.  We have reasonable prices and can ship for exact fees.

 

 

Good Friday

Where has the time gone?  Seems like just yesterday it was Ash Wednesday!  We're going to have pancakes for dinner tonight.  What are you having?
I just posted a few new items in my selling blog, RaggyAnne, and noticed I have just a few followers.  Won't you be my follower?
I'm working on another raggy quilt for our Senior Center.  I'm happy to report that three out of the five I made for them has sold.  We're also working on cosmetic bags to sell for the Center also.
Hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend.

Good Early Morning!

I can't believe it's 3 am; can't sleep so decided to blog.  It's going to be a long day.....  My DD is an Avon Leader and has an awards event to attend this evening.  It's about 4 hours away, so I'm going to go along to help with my DGD.  She found a heated swiming pool; that will be mine and Meagan's entertainment, lol.
I finished some more raggy baby security blankets.  They are addictive!  Good thing I have lots of novelty flannel fabrics and lots of ribbons.  I even made one that is not raggy.  When I made the traditional ones before, they seemed so much trouble.  But I used one of the tips I learned with the raggy ones to make this one and it was easier.  I have them listed on etsy, but will list them in my RaggyAnne blog as soon as I have time.  Have a great Monday!

Cyper Monday!

Did everyone have as good a Thanksgiving as I did?  It was wonderful having most of my immediate family here -- 3 of our 4 kids and 6 of our 8 grandkids.  I finally put leftovers in the freezer; there was just too much!
From Friday thru Sunday, I worked on a patriotic quilt; will show a photo after it's washed.  This week I hope to work on small items for a Craft Show I'm doing on Saturday.  I was going to make some more rice bags, but finally found the ones I had made.
Today is Cyper Monday.  So, I'm having a sale....  Just contact me and I'll discount any item 10% off.

Red Raggy Tote

It's finally not summer; feels great!  Hope the rain holds off for a little; I like it just like this, lol.
After I made the fall raggy tote, I decided to "play around".  I made a raggy tote, without the Xs and inside pockets.  I did add two outside side pockets.  I'm calling this a Market Bag as it's perfect to put groceries in; size is 12.5" x 12.5" x 4.5" and handle drop of 4.5".  I can make these in colors of your choice.  They will be listed in my selling blog.
ps:  If this one doesn't sell, it wil be mine!

Raggy Fall Tote

How is your weekend?  Mine's a little quieter than usual.  Sometimes there are DGKs running all over; today has been just one 3-year old.  The other one will be here soon, so noise level will increase, lol.  I'm just been taking it easy.  Soon, I'll get back to the blue quilt I'm working on for the Senior Center.  The sandwiches are ready to be sewn into rows. 
Here is a photo of my newest raggy tote.  It's done in fall earthtones colors and is a medium size.  Has nice pockets inside, too.  It will be listed in my selling blog, RaggyAnne.

Newest Totebags

Hello! I think our weather is trying to turn cool. I'm so ready for fall! I've been keeping myself busy sewing and watching grandkids. Just got back from my son's house; I got to give baby Josh his bottle and put him to sleep. He's growing so fast!
I'll post soon about the three quilts I'm making for my DGDs. but I took a break and made two organizer totes. There are 4 pockets on the outside and at least 6 pockets on the inside. I'm going to post them in the Raggy Anne blog as special orders.

Totebags and more totebags!

I finished three more raggy totebags. They were for a special order. As you can see, they are all a little different, as all my totebags are OOAK.

Today I decided to make a couple of traditional totebags. It's been months since I've done a simple totebag; glad I could remember how to sew them, lol. The kid print is a vintage fabric from my mother's stash and the black & white 100% cotton fabric is a piece from my own stash. I added larger pockets inside and have a longer handle. I would be glad to make a tote for you in your choice of colors.

eBay and etsy auctions

I've been busy listing on both eBay and etsy. My DH & I emptied a storage building; we've had it so long we could have probably bought a new one, lol. In it, I found fabrics from the 60s thru the 80s. I've been washing fabrics and listing every day. Haven't sold very much; but at least it's a start.
I've also been babysitting Meagan. Her mom, Janice, is now selling both Avon and Tupperware. She hands out flyers with all 3 ventures together -- Avon, Tupperware and raggy items. If anyone needs anything, fill out the Contact Me form at bottom of my blog and I will send her e-mail addy.
Here are two of my fabrics:
