The Lady Kay Designs on RedBubble is now CLOSED

This is a notification to all my followers that The Lady Kay Designs no longer has a REDBUBBLE shop.  

Redbubble has announced a new fee structure that will begin on May 1, 2023.  After researching the information in the Terms & Agreements as well as reading their posts on the Redbubble Blog explaining how it will work, I've decided to no longer make my designs available through this service.  

I will continue to research other avenues and welcome any information to aid me in my search.  Please feel free to contact me through any of my social media outlets, including this blog at www.theladykaydesigns.blogspot.com

The Lady Kay Designs on Etsy will remain as my primary retail sales venue. 

It's 2023 and Magenta is the Pantone color of the year

Here is the first doily I made in the new color of the year:  Magenta.  I have to tell you that it photographs really bad.  Depending on the background color and/or the lighting it can be a burgundy or a hot pink.  However, when the skein of yarn or the finished product is before my very human eyes, it's a beautiful rich magenta which is somewhere in between.

I have to tell you about these new crochet hooks that were shown to me by Storm Tides from Freyjas Fineries on Etsy.com.  These are from Furls Crochet and they offer ergonomic designs in wood, metal, and resin.  They even do a rainbow PRIDE version!!!

I'll be adding more items using this beautiful color, but the next big release is an original digital art design around the latest hashtag #DragIsNotACrime.

2021.08.25 WIPs Wednesday

It's been a busy couple of weeks, I realized today I forgot to do a WIPs Wednesday post last week!  I work 4 days a week outside the home as a custom picture framer/bookkeeper, but I spend many hours creating and crafting for my #Etsy shop.  Lots of research this week for "Print on demand" services so I can add more merch with my own images!!  

New in the shop this week are the "Summer Scarf", "Square Doily", Sticker Plates for framed stitcheries, and the Queen's Jubilee 2022 commemorative souvenir tin with gold crown paperclips.

Coming soon...snoods and a new lacey collar!  Visit the shop and see if you find any new favorites!!

Oh!  And a social media update...I started an Instagram page!!  @TheLadyKayDesigns 

I try to post once a day to all my social media (read: EXHAUSTING) but I am enjoying the hashtag
#BlackCatsOfInstagram!!

 The first time in a long time with no cross stitching done this week.  Trying to build my inventory in my Etsy shop.  To visit and browse, click here --> TheLadyKayDesigns.Etsy.com

Also worked on some graphic designing of ads to promote the shop.

I'm thinking about finally starting an Instagram page.  I just worry about losing more time each day to another social media channel.  But, it would probably help my shop get more sales!
