I want to thank those of you who have been keeping my mom in your thoughts and/or prayers. She's recovered fully from her allergic reaction, and is slowly but steadily healing from her surgery.
We're still waiting to find out when her next surgery will be, but even if we do need to make the trip to take her, that won't be until November.
So, with that weight off my shoulders, I am going to officially open up the queue for holiday commissions! I will open five slots, first come, first served. If those slots fill, and I get everything done with enough time before the holidays to take on more, I'll open it up again.
I will not take on any holiday-specific commissions after November 30, as we are planning to make a trip home in early December and I can't guarantee I'd have time to get any new commissions done in time for the yuletide season (plus I have to make some gifts for my own peeps, ya know?). Naturally if there isn't a strict deadline on when you need your commission done, I can still take your name down and get to it as soon as I can.
I also must make the caveat that while I will do everything in my power to get commissions done in time, if my mom takes a turn for the worse, obviously my family needs to come first. I will keep everyone updated if anything like that happens.
As always, commissions must be paid for fully in advance (including the shipping costs!) via PayPal. I cannot work with animal fiber yarns due to my allergies.
Commission Prices:
Plushie Dice
d4 - $5
d6 - $6
d8 - $7
d10 - $8
set of two d10s (either percentile or two different d10s) - $15
d12 - $10
d20 - $12
Matched set of 7 - $45
(I have not yet posted pictures of the d12 and d20 because I am still working on them)
Dice Bags
In two colors (main and contrast) with two beads at the ends of the drawstrings - $30
If you want a larger bag, or one made with three colors, or one with more decoration, the cost will go up. If you want a smaller bag, or one with no beads, the cost will go down.
Covered Ball Ornaments
$8 each or 4/$25
Single Color Beanie Hats
I can make these in various styles. Price will vary with size of hat (I need a head measurement) and pattern, from $10 to $20. If you want more than one color in the hat, the price will go up.
Cunning Earflap Hats
For a manly-sized, multi-colored one like this, $40. Smaller hats, or single-color hats, will be less.
Standard Size Scarves (6" wide by 5-6' long)
With or without fringe, single color, $25.
Multiple colors, $30.
Longer scarves will cost more.
Muffler Scarves (9" wide by nearly 8' long)
With or without fringe, single color, $35.
Multiple colors, $40.
For afghans, the price will vary greatly based on the size, the pattern, and the yarn used.
Due to time constraints I will only accept one afghan commission to be done in time for the holidays. Some ballpark estimates:
Baby Afghans
About 36" square, around $40.
Couch Throws
Perfect for snuggling up to watch TV. About 48" by 60" or about 60" square, around $75-$100.
Big Ass Afghans
Blanket-sized to cover a bed - $150 and up. (Please note that these take a fair amount of time to make, and they are heavy, so they are a pricier to ship.)
Ready to ship items!
In addition to commissions, I have the following items in stock and ready to ship.
Blue and silver muffler scarf, $40 plus shipping.
SOLD! (but I can easily make another one like it!)
Scarlet and gold dice bag, $18.75 plus shipping.
Yellow and black dice bag, $18.75 plus shipping.
Green and silver dice bag, $18.75 plus shipping.
Set of four embroidered dinner napkins, $25 plus shipping.
10 assorted covered ball ornaments as pictured, $8 each, 4/$25, or all 10 for $60, plus shipping.
Please send me a note if you are interested in a commission or in purchasing any of my items, or even if you just have a question! Thank you!

Halloween!
Zest
And a blessed Samhain to my fellow pagans!
and talking to our neighbors who say the kiddies never come down our street, we don't feel bad leaving the house this year. The Sandbaggers Game Club, of which we are members, is having a 20th anniversary Halloween bash! Gaming starts at noon, with the party kicking off by 6pm. Poor Robert has to work tomorrow (sigh) so I'll be over there solo for a while until he gets off work. It's going to be lots of fun!
Tearful
Christmas Spirited
Distressed
Sentimental
Go wish him a happy birthday! 
Dropped by to leave some love!
