I don't post often, but when I do? Scammers, as far as the eye can see.

Something people don't realize about starting a small business is the amount of time spent critically analyzing every online conversation with a possible customer to clarify if it is legit or a scam. Me? I'm 7/7 scams for people I don't know asking for makes.

(Screenshot of my MBZ Facebook Messenger chats. The bottom few say unavailable because I and others have reported them as the scammers they are.)

Sometimes I make pretty things, sometimes I make practical things. 🤷‍♀️🧚‍♀️

First: cotton and recycled cotton racerback mini dress (freehanded but for the straps). 💃

Right: cotton cat toy holder (💯 freehanded). ¿Porque? Cats get bored with the same toys. This way we put the old ones out, dish out the new ones, then swap in a few weeks and drizzle freely with the catnip. 😺

New shipment of yarn from Destination Yarn! Colorways are Summer Solstice, Sooo Ready for Vacation, and Hot Girl Summer. No idea what I'm making with these yet but it will be gorgeous!

06/02/2024

I don't often swatch, but when I do it's because I'm trying out new stitches or methods. I've been on a kick making French market bags and this method here will help me make them 3 times faster but just as strong and pretty! 💜

Beautiful blacklight-reactive yarn and a happy Local Yarn Store Day. Now what to make! ❤🧶

I've taken some time off over the last month to recoup and do some business planning for 2024. More colorwork is in the works for sure!

I'm also an Alabama Crimson Tide fan and this has been a rollercoaster of a week. Thanks, Coach Saban- and welcome Coach DeBoer!

I worked these bowl holders in Tunisian crochet and gained some great skills (and catharsis) along the way! First time using Stitchfiddle, too, and I am a forever fan going forward!

Happy Small Business Saturday! I'm happy to say I have listed all of my Stashers finally. And Etsy kindly allowed 13/17 to be posted (4 are pending review for the keyword "v**e pen holder" 🤣🤦‍♀️).

In celebration, I'm having a 20% off sale today through Monday in my entire store using code SBWEEKEND20. Come get some handmade goods for your loved ones- link is in comments! 👇

Stay tuned for more items to be posted all weekend! Now I'm off to find my Nikon for more product photos. 🏃‍♀️

It has been a busy few weeks! I took a hiatus from making and posting to work on the administrative part of Makes by Zee. Ya know, the actual business side of things. 🤣 It has been kinda cool to use so many skills to get this project going- and just in time for Small Business Saturday!

Another beanie! I am digging the black contrast on this not-knit rainbow beanie. All of these so far have been variations of the same pattern because I like to see what changes I can make to make each one a little better and a little more unique.

My latest Handy Stasher! Again an ocean theme- the blues of the body remind me of ocean 🌊🌊🌊. I am super happy with how it turned out, especially the lil 🐢 with his big eyes 🥺.

This project took me longer than I expected because it's a prototype. I have: a) never used Tunisian crochet for a stasher; b) never attached Tunisian to a Mochila-style base; and c) never tried the No-Sew Turtle pattern before.

💛 Hooks: 3.75 and 4 mm Addi Click Tunisian

💛 Yarns: Lion 24/7 cotton in Blue and Jade, Sugar'n Creme in Yellow

💛 Pattern: freehanded botttom; turtle modified from No-Sew Turtle 😊

💛 Time to make: 6 hours

My last project of the day! I can never have enough pockets and (too often) I have none. Ten years in the Navy has eradicated what little inclination I had to using purses- they're either too big and bulky (so I can't find what I need when I need it 🤦‍♀️) or they're too little!

Enter the phone holder! Light enough not to be a bother and great if you also carry your wallet essentials in a case on your phone 🙋‍♀️.

These work great as a standalone option but also click right onto the H2O Holder straps and leave you ready for whatever this summer brings your way. 😊

💛 Hook: Addi Click Tunisian 5mm

💛 Yarn: Sugar'n Cream cotton in Ecru

💛 Pattern: freehand Tunisian Honeycomb😋

💛 Time to make: 2.25 hours

07/13/2023

My second project today! A different take on the Boho H2O Holder.

Granny squares are everywhere these days and this is a different play on the age-old pattern. This is also a variation of the one I use *daily* to take my water with me everywhere I go.

As we say around here: hydrate or diedrate!

💛 Hook: Susan Bates 5 mm (strap 3mm)

💛 Yarn: Sugar'n Cream cotton in Ecru

💛 Pattern: freehand 😋

💛 Time to make: 2.9 hours
