EtsyHooker of the Week --- GwenGoods

Flower Motif

This week we would like to honor Gwen Goods. She is a great team member who is very active with the team by suggesting team members for EtsyHooker of the Week, being responsible for the promo thread, posting often in the team forums, and supporting other team members. Her shop is filled with lovely items that can be used in a variety of ways, like the multi-colored flower above.


Crochet Snap Clips -Small

Gwen also has these lovely hair clips that have been covered with her crochet. She is sure to have your favorite color or something to go with any outfit in her shop. If not, just contact her with your color ideas.


Groovy Girls V-neck Dress

Do you have a Groovy Girl in your house? If you do, then be sure to check out the cute outfits Gwen has created for them. I like how well this dress appears to fit the doll, with even, small stitching that makes the dress solid and gap free.

EtsyHooker of the Week --- JustBeHappy

Multicolored Hand Crocheted Necklace with Buttons

This week's EtsyHooker of the Week has been nominated by Gwen, of gwengoods. JustBeHappy has a lovely shop with a variety of items. Currently she has a great selection of crocheted necklaces, like the colorful one above.


Scarlet Red Crochet Brimmed Hat - Adult

JustBeHappy currently has a sale section in her shop with a few great deals, including a few choices of brimmed hats like the one above. The sale items would be a great deal to put away for cooler weather, or perfect for those in the southern hemisphere who are getting ready for cold weather.


Brown/Pink Hand Crocheted Dog Sweater

For those of you with a special dog in your life, JustBeHappy also has a few cute sweaters on hand. Even though it is spring, your favorite pet might need a sweater for those early morning walks.

For the Kitchen Gift Guide

EtsyHookers are great at making items that are useful as well as attractive for the kitchen. In addition, their items tend to be more environmentally friendly because they can be used over and over again as opposed to one use items like paper towels and wipes.

EtsyHooker of the Week --- JuliaEmily

Unlock the door

Sometimes crochet can take unexpected forms, like in the case of items in JuliaEmily's shop. She crochets with materials that do not immediately come to mind when one thinks of crochet. For example, the pendant above is crocheted with copper wire.


Flutter by butterfly

It is hard for me to imagine making an item look delicate with copper wire, but this butterfly certainly looks like it is delicately perched on the chain.


Tiger eye cuff

JuliaEmily also incorporates stones into her crochet work, like this cuff.

EtsyHooker of the Week --- Chimera Crochet

Tipper the Tiny HedgeBall .. Amigurumi Hedgehog Stuffie
Bluestarbutterflies nominated our latest EtsyHooker of the Week with these words:

I've admired her kooky and creative creatures for a long time and recently gave in to temptation and got myself one of her adorable little hedgeballs! I think she's a fantastic artist and a great creative soul. I truly believe she needs a spot on our blog as Hooker of the Week!

Prescription For Love .. Amigurumi Humor Gift for Adults

One of Chimera Crochet's popular items is the crocheted pill, complete with pill bottle. This shows how a creative idea can be simple, but very well done. She has thought out all the details to make the item adorable and marketable.

EtsyHooker of the Week --- Honey Bee Crochet by SturmDM

Sunflower kitchen set, 3 pieces, cotton
The EtsyHooker Team is very fortunate to have a team member like Doris, of Honey Bee Crochet. She is active with the team challenges, team promotions, and other team activities. She also comes up with some very creative ideas for her shop and is committed to helping find out what is happening to the honey bees. She was nominated for the honor of EtsyHooker of the Week by Gwen.

Frizzy, the Frazzled Honeybee
Frizzy is just one example of the creative bee themed items in Doris' shop. She was the proud winner of one of our team challenges with an awesome hat that was a flower with a bee alight on it.

Doris also recently opened a shop filled with items for her favorite holiday --- Christmas. It is called 365 Days of Christmas. She has many items there to decorate your home. If you are interested in any of these items, now is the time to get them since once that season nears I am sure her crochet hook will be flying and possibly too busy for last minute orders.
