What's New: Crochet Scrunchies and Other Easter Basket Gift Items

The newest additions to Emily's Art Room are these soft, velvety-velour crochet scrunchies! It can keep that messy bun from getting tangled because they are soft and smooth scrunchies that won't knot your hair. They come in these fun colors, and some are even sparkly! These make a great gift to go inside an Easter basket, Easter egg, or a travel bag! They will be available for sale at the Rusty Petal soon. Go check it out!

I also have these adorable crochet Easter eggs that can fit candy or a crochet scrunchie inside! Another great addition to an Easter basket are these heart warmers that say things like, "Dear daughter/son, I love you." If you're looking for some handmade non-candy options for an Easter basket, check out the Rusty Petal in Loveland, CO for bookmarks and coffee koozies that are made in Emily's Art Room too! These fun gifts add some sweet creativity and warmth to your Easter!

One of the newest items in Emily's Art Room is Jumbo Stockings! You can see the stocking below compared to our stockings we usually use! They're so pretty and they hold much more! It's a win/win!

What's New: Fuzzy Ornaments

My handmade ornaments have been in demand this holiday season, and now I have a new take on this popular classic - a fuzzy ornament! This is great for a woodsy look as you can see on my sister Sarah's beautiful mantel and tree!

5 Days of Christmas Gift Giving: 5 Ornaments

On the 5th day of Christmas 

Secret Santa gave to me . . .  

5 kinds of ornaments!

Handmade gifts are always a thoughtful gift for a neighbor, a coworker, or as a stocking stuffer. Here are 5 choices of unique, handmade ornaments. Although it is a small gift, it is something you won't find anywhere else! That makes it personable and one of a kind.

1. Rustic Meadow Ornaments

You can choose from these beautiful rustic meadow ornaments which come in large, medium, or mini size. You can buy a set for your tree, or get one special ornament with a charm that shares a special sentiment. They are beautiful and go well with a modern farmhouse decor as you can see on my sister's beautiful Christmas tree in the picture above.

2. Little Star Ornaments

These cute little ornaments are simple but unique! They make a great addition to the outside of your package to dress it up a bit, and they are ornaments you keep and add to the tree.

3. Gift Card Stockings

These are some of my favorites because they are so cute and so practical! I definitely give gift cards to the teenagers on my Christmas list, and these stockings are a great way to "wrap" them! It gives that personal touch when giving gift cards or cash, and the stocking can become an ornament, a decoration, or it can be used to give a gift card again!

4. Light-up Snowman Ornament

This little ornament is adorable, and his nose lights up! You won't find an ornament like this at the store. It's one of a kind, and being handmade makes it even more of a unique gift.

5. The Christmas Pickle

The Christmas Pickle is an all-time favorite at our house! If you've never heard of the Christmas Pickle tradition, this handmade ornament comes with a tag that explains it: Start a new family tradition with the Christmas pickle! Hide the Christmas pickle deep in the tree. Whoever finds it first gets to open the first present on Christmas day! The original tradition includes giving an extra present (such as candy) to the person who finds the Christmas pickle. 

At my house, we hide the Christmas Pickle over and over again because it's just fun to find! This makes a great gift for a family with young kids. I also had a customer last year that said it was the perfect gift for her pickle ball team! 

There are so many great, inexpensive handmade gifts that you can give to the people on your Christmas list! And by shopping from a local artisan, you support small businesses while giving a personal and unique gift to your family and friends. So come check out my booth and all the other wonderful handmade goods at

4 Kinds of Scarves!

Are you ready to start your Christmas shopping? Starting in November helps to spread the cost out over more than one paycheck, and I have some of the perfect gifts for the people on your Christmas list! My 2nd biggest seller is scarves, which also pair well with my #1 best seller--hats! I have 4 different kinds of scarves that you can choose from. You can find all these great gifts and more in my booth at the Legend High School Craft Fair on Nov. 15th.

1. Traditional Scarf

I LOVE these traditional scarves! You can wear them with an outfit on cold days or with your coat outside. Nothing beats the look of a handmade scarf! These long traditional scarves are meant to wrap around your neck and still hang to your waist. Some of the traditional scarves I make have a little punch of color added to the tassels as you can see in the gray and pink scarf in the picture above. It just gives it a little something extra!

2. Skinny Scarf

These skinny scarves are perfect for adding a little pop of color to your outfit! As we have all experienced in Colorado, it can be freezing in the morning and by the afternoon you're sweating. While I absolutely love traditional scarves, they are not always practical to wear all day. Skinny scarves are just what they sound like--a scarf that is thinner (so it doesn't make it as hot to wear), and it is meant give a little color to your outfit. This is a scarf that you can wear all day, even if it heats up in the afternoon.

3. Infinity Scarf

An infinity scarf is a way to add a little bougie touch to your outfit! Crocheted in a circle, an infinity scarf wraps twice around your neck for a luxurious look. 

4. Christmas Scarf

A Christmas scarf is the perfect Christmas gift for a teacher, coworker, neighbor, or secret Santa gift for someone on your list! It is festive and cute, and it goes well with a Santa hat or a grinch hat too!

Be sure to visit my booth at the Legend High School Craft Fair on November 15th! There are a lot of beautiful handmade gifts to choose from, so start your Christmas shopping soon!
