A special selection of casual gifts

Office "Secret Santa", the babysitter, your kids school teachers, the list could go on. Well, I've decided to put together a special selection of gifts under $25! Scouring the malls, department stores, discount stores, any store where you think you might find something nice that won't break your bank for these people on your list could drain so many hours from your happy holiday season, (they certainly did from mine in the past). And I don't know about you but I've always thought about how much money goes to waste every year on gifts that although they're reasonably priced really aren't ever going to be used, just more stuff to ad to the pile in the back of the storage closet. Well now you can have a one stop place for all of those "casual" gifts that will be used, appreciated and not break your budget!

Upping my blogging anti




I've been wracking my brain for two weeks now trying to come up with something clever, entertaining, or informational to blog about. I really want to blog on a regular basis, really I do. So I've asked for advice and got some, (really good advice too). And now I'm just going to jump in and start doing it. So check back regularly because there'll be no more posting once every now and then, (I hope).
Here are a few of the thing I've been working on for winter. I'll probably be talking about them and other things in my future, (and more frequently posted), blogs.

Summertime






Summer is almost here and I've been busy working on my new summer line. Late in the winter while giving some thought to what I was going to do with my skills once the weather warmed up I seriously considered just taking the summer off. After all there didn't seem to be too much one could make that wouldn't swelter in the summer heat. Then my friend requested a crocheted skirt for a wedding and the lightbulb went off. Beach coverups, lacy light shawls and wraps, and of course my everyday hats! That would great summer fare to entice my cusotmers. Well, I'm just starting to photograph the first large batch of goods and here are some samples!
They can be purchased at the sites listed to the right or you could always contact me for special orders: tamarandesigns@gmail.com

Bohemian Spring


One of my favorite fashion statements is bohemian, I love it's flowing ease. Fortunately it is in fashion about every 3rd year or so, not that I don't wear it in between, and this is an "in" year! This means that there will be a lot of smashing choices out there for me to refresh my wardrobe and the work I've been doing so far is quite boho so it will be popular too!
