Where Can I Get This Stuff?

Most of the items I post here immediately go to Downtown Sol in Oxnard, which is in the heart of the historic district, near the library, the address is 328 3rd Street, Oxnard, CA (805) 240-7765
Custom orders can be made at the shop or you can contact me personally through the Mad Crocheter's Tea Party facebook page .

Thanks!

Rose Necklace and Chokers







I crocheted some roses in various sizes and put them on thread crochet chains. I need to do some more in more colors!

Tote Bags!




I made some strawberries like the ones I put on a necklace(they're 3D), then made the blossoms and leaves and sewed them onto a pink tote bag. I also had a light blue tote bag, so I made a whale and though it was flat, I stuffed it as I sewed it onto the bag, in a sort of bas relief. I added some waves and a heart shaped blow hole spray.

New toddler colors


I dyed some items orange and teal. These are the first things I made from them, an orange croc tee and a bluebird onesie. Both are available at Downtown Sol.

Las Senoritas







I made a pretty senorita doll for the Rebozo Festival in Camarillo. Downtown Sol is submitting a basket for a charity auction or something like that and they asked me to donate something for the basket. Then I had an inspiration to make a Frida Khalo doll. I have admired this artist for a long time and I was happy to discover that she is also very popular with the women artists of Oxnard. I am super happy with both of these dolls and couldn't help feeling like playing with them while taking photographs of them.

New things for the shop this week

This week I made some replacement items for things that sold at Downtown Sol. I also thought I would add a couple new colors to my kid's clothing line so I dyed some things teal and orange, the idea for the colors came from a friend who is expecting, (thanks Nicki!). I'll post some pictures of those after I have finished adding designs to them.

Give a hoot, don't throw lit cigarettes out of your car and incinerate my favorite hiking trails.

Sweet Dixie



This is a custom order for a friend of mine. I tried to make it look like her beloved dog Dixie.
