More Yarn Stash

So I got a chance to take some more pictures of some of my cotton yarn stash.

This is a wonderfully soft blue, almost like a washed denim color cotton yarn.
This is a yarn I have had on hand for awhile, so it is not one of the newer organic yarns, but I actually bought it to do as edging on a dishcloth made out of the next yarn.






This is a really neat white to brown to blue verigated yarn. Again, this is one that I have had on=hand for awhile, so it is not one of the newer organic yarns, but I loved the colors.

I was thinking I would make a dishcloth with this and then edge it with the blue pictured above. I tried to match the blue in this yarn to that blue so that it would look neat. I still may make those, have only gotten the one dishcloth done at the moment, but I am hoping to add more later.

Another one of my older yarns, so no it is not an organic, but it is the greatest colors. It is a hot pink to yellow to orange verigated yarn that is just fun.

I just started work on another cell phone case in this yarn, a special request from a friend to carry her pink pearl blackberry in when she has it in her purse. I think it is going to look great.

Remember, any of the yarns in my stash, this post of the previous can be made into a cell phone case, sized to match your phone for only $3.50 and that includes shipping. See previous posts for pictures of cell phone cases already made.
Also, any of these yarns can be used to make dishcloths. Each cloth is a 7 1/2 inch by 7/12 inch square. It can be edged in the same yarn or a coordinating yarn for only $2.00 each, and that includes shipping. Pictures of the dishcloth will be posted soon.

Handknitted Cell Phone Case

So I just finished a special request by a friend, a cell phone case made to fit hr new digital camera in my new Lime Green Organic Yarn.

The case measures 2 1/2 inches across and 4 inches high. It actually fits my older model LG flip phone perfectly.

You can find it for sale on my etsy site at www.atammcreation.etsy.com for $3.50 with FREE shipping to the US and Canada.

Yarn Stash

I mentioned in my last post, when I talked about the new Cell Phone case, that I had a hugh stash of yarns to use to make this case, well I got a couple, and I mean only a couple of photos done this weekend, what with is being Father's day and all, but at least I got a couple done.

So this is the purple-blue-yellow verigated crochet cotton thread that I used to do the original phone case that I personally carry, and that my good friend Angie now carries.

I love it. I also finished a dishcloth in this color, this yarn that I will be getting photos of and posted soon.

Lime green, how can you not like it?! I have this thing for lime green, I would buy anything in lime green, well almost. This is more of a subtle lime green in that it is not that neon lime green, but more of a soft lime green.

This is another Organic Yarn that I got. I found a place that had some Organic Cotton Yarns, and I placed a big order, think I got five colors altogether in that order, but I want to try organic.

This is a tri-color verigated blend of greens. It starts with a white, then up to a light, not quite lime green, then a medium green and then a darker green. I really love the colors and can't wait to start working with this one.

This is also an Organic Cotton Crochet Thread. My first purchase of Organic Cotton, but I loved the colors and I think it will make a great addition to the line.

Handknitted Cell Phone Case

So the "a TAMM creation" line is growing again!

This time a wonderful little handknitted cell phone case is the latest addition. I have one that I knitted for myself, and a friedn loved it so much that I made her one for her phone and she has gotten so many compliments on it in the few weeks that she has had it that it had to go into the line.


This is a great picture of the colors that are in the ones I have made so far. They are made from a cotton crochet thread, and this is a yellow-purple-blue-white verigated thread. It is soft, yet not too bulky and it protects the phone in your purse or gymbag wonderfully.

I have just gotten a new stash of Organic Cotton Yarns that I am dying to try out, one is a line green, another is verigated using the same lime green with some other colors, so I am looking forward to making more of these cases with the new Organic Yarns.

This is the case that I made my friend, and it measures 2 inches across and 4 1/2 inches high. It fits the phone in the picture like a glove. Sorry that the picture got a little blurry, don't think my camera liked the dark background on that phone too much.

I will custom make one for you in your choice of colors from my stash and to fit the measurements of your particular phone.

Price is $3.50 each, with FREE Shipping in the US and Canada. Ask me about worldwide shipping.

Police Gear Website review

How many of you know that my baby brother is a Police Officer? Yep. He went to college, got his degree and got on the police force in Kansas, and has been there ever since, moving up all along the way, can you tell I'm a little proud!

So being the ever loving sister that I am, when someone sent me a link to a Police Gear website, I had to check it out. Right now, when you buy a tactical holster you get a tactical hat free. Aside from that, everything is listed below retail pricing, so that makes you feel good about buying from them.

I'm going to finish surfing around the website, because it looks really good, and I may have to put in a call to my sister-in-law and see if she knows about the site, and if there is anything that my brother needs, espically since he recently had a birthday, I can always justify spending money if it was from someone elses birthday!

Handknitted Fancy Fur Scarf

As you can see, I have been working hard and have a new item to add to the "a TAMM creation" line.

This is a wonderfully soft, Fancy Fur scarf. The yarn I used was made by lion Brand, and was called Fancy Fur. This particular one is black, with kernels of purple, blue, navy and turquiose throughout.

The scarf is 42 inches in length and 4 inches in width, which makes it a nice length that both adults and children can wear. Both my daughter and I tried it on last night and like the length on me, wouldn't get into anything, hit about mid-chest, and on my daughter it hung longer and just looked so nice.

As you can see, although this is not the greatest model picture, we had someone else that just had to get into the picture too, but it looks great.

I have limited amounts of this yarn right now, unless I can find more somewhere, but it seems this confettie type of Fancy Fur is not being carried where I shop, so unless I find it online and at a good price, I am limited to the TWO scarves i have listed on Etsy.com

The scarf is listed at $14.00 with FREE SHIPPING in the US, only $1.00 ships it to Canada. Time involved in making this, just over three hours.

I have some more of the yarn, but it is in the process of becoming a matching purse! I have had this idea for a knitted purse for a long time now, and I loved this yarn, so I decided to go for it and make the matching purse. Not sure how long it will be before it comes out, as there is no pattern for this purse, it is all in my head, but I am looking forward to it coming out!

Thanks for checking out what I have to offer!

Just Expressing Myself

Okay, so you know that sometimes I visit the Smorty site, if you are wondering there is a link to them in the sidebar, but they advertise to have opportunities for you to review a website or product, write a review and get paid for it, but they almost never have any paid posts available. Not long ago they started this non-paid thing called blog exchange, you write a review of someones blog on your blog and they are in turn suppose to write one on you. So far I have written four on other people and only gotten two written on me.

Well, I decided to visit again today and got a good one. The site is subtitled Just Expressing Myself Opinions, Thoughts, and Creative Writing. You know, something I can get into.

So I go, and I am not expecting much, because you know past experience hasn't lead me to find anything really good up until now, but I really liked this blog. The first post I read was their experience with Smorty on doing this blog exchange, and then they proceeded to talk about a variety of things, not all one topic, so it wasn't boring, in fact it was pretty fun to read. I think I might just have to add them to my list of blogs to read!

Thanks and check them out!
