lost in "crochet goodness"

This month's featured etsy blogger is Made By Melissa.

In perusing her shop, I got lost in so much "crochet goodness."   blankets, scarves, wash cloths, dish cloths, bowls, and the cutest little toys!

 Phoebe is a pretty little pink piggy who needs a home with lots of love.



 
 Gary the Green Garden Snake loves to play outside and hide in the green leaves.

Look at this cool light gray hand~crocheted bowl made from a T shirt.  It is an upcycled, repurposed item!

 



a beautiful scarf!




 


 and a baby blanket--choose your colors!

Made by Melissa has been an etsy blogger from the beginning in August 2007!  She is a big part of our team, supporting teammates and team events.

Check out her shop for it is more than crochet.  She offers jewelry and vintage items as well.

Melissa  wouldn't be an etsy blogger without a blog, would she?   If you want to see her face, HERE she is!

a little more about Melissa and her craft:

"I am a 28 year old engineer by day - I started crafting as a way to express my creativity. 

All of my items are one of a kind! Although things I make may look similar - no two items are identical. Therefore - you will become the proud owner of a 100% unique item!"
