Welcome!!!

Hello and Welcome, to the first post on the MariaElenaBliss...knits and snips, blog! You can also find me on Etsy, Ravelry, Facebook, Instagram and even a Monthly Newsletter! All links are on the blog, so visit all these often, but especially my Facebook page, where I post, sales and new designs for my Etsy shop regularly. Please "like" the Facebook page to make sure you don't miss a thing!

My vision for this blog is to keep you informed not only about my new designs but about knitting and sewing in general. I plan on having sewing and knitting tutorials which may expand your sewing and knitting adventures, depending on your current knowledge of both of these crafts and your desire to learn more.

One of my knitting passions is Lace Shawls! I have been knitting lace for a few years now, and have continued to challenge myself with every shawl and lace project. I am so excited to be releasing my first Lace Shawl design on Ravelry in the new week and am offering a 50% off code for anyone who would like to try my At Last Shawl.  When the design goes live, please use code:ATLAST on Ravelry to get your pattern for the reduced price.
Here is a "sneak" preview of the pattern!

RAVELRY: my id is Mariaeb and there is also a Bag Bliss Group on Ravelry which I would Love for your to join! I have already had a bag give away for the first 50 members and am planning on a pattern give away once we reach 100 members in the group! So, please join and introduce yourself, and also respond to one of the other threads in the group. Let the other members about project bags and project bag designers you LOVE. It doesn't have to be a MariaElenaBliss Project bag, as this group was created as a forum for ALL project bags and project bag designers, but mainly to share our love and passion of project bags.

ETSY: New to the shop is a Knitting Ditty Project Bag in three sizes! The Large size of this bag is customizable and you can even personalize it with your or a friend's monogram! Now there is a project bag in the shop you can gift and make it truly special. The NEW Knitting Ditty Project Bag is at a new price point in the shop and still has that same ability to stand on it's own! Check it out!
Also, NEW is the Build a Bag Project bag! This listing allows you the ability to create your own project bag, just the way you want it! The same interfacings and substantial qualities offered at MariaElenaBliss will always be included, but now you have the option to include or not include any features you feel will add to your knitting/crochet/fiber projects through your project bag. So...if you have always wanted to try a Large Zippered Project Bag in the shop, but don't care to pay for a padded detachable handle, or an interior divided pocket, or an interior tab with a lobster claw clasp...why pay for it??? Makes sense, right??? Now is your chance to get a project with your personal touch, one truly made for you! How, do you get started, you ask... here's the process:
1. go to this link and choose one of the many fabrics offered for the exterior of your project bag.
2. go to the "add an option" section of the MariaElenaBliss Etsy shop and add which ever options you would LOVE in your project bag...OR NOT!

Maybe you don't want any options at all, in this case you can bypass the second step in this process and you will receive a Large Zippered Project Bag with your choice of exterior fabric, a matching lining, a 4" gusset, and a long pull zipper which extends beyond the bag for easy and extra visibility, all for the basic bag price of $31.00 (US) plus shipping! WOW! Where else can you get a Large Zippered Project Bag for $31.00?

Or maybe you have purchased one the shop's quilted bags and you already know how substantial and wonderful it is to have a fully quilted exterior on your project bag! So, if you would like your Large Zippered Project Bag with a quilted exterior...add that option! What if you want this same project bag with ALL the extras? Just keep adding options to your cart, once you choose your exterior fabric and rest assured your project bag will be AWESOME!!!  And your very own! Don't forget to add one of the shop's Clear Zip Notion Bag, for an extra "pocket" you can remove and use with your other project bags, or for a true indulgence, a Macaroon!!! My Macaroon customers, cannot get enough of this truly unique notion accessory!

You can get the Bag Bliss...UP TO YOU! New August issue of the Bag Bliss Newsletter which explains the new shop options now. Please subscribe to the Newsletter, even if you receive it now, and you will be given a 10% off code to use in the shop! The link to the Newsletter is below.

TO COME: I am also planning on starting a podcast, so keep posted for ALL the new things to come!
Thank you for finding my Bliss and please share the shop, the blog and the Bag Bliss Newsletter with your friends and family!

Have a wonderful week and I hope to see you in a couple! Best Always, Maria
