Hi from Cobb Ivy Corner!

Hi! It is good to be part of the team! I hail from Washington state and transplanted to Las Vegas just over a year ago. An ardent crafter, I have been making items for as long as I can remember. Just after I moved here, my sister encouraged me to start making my ties again and sell them. I found the Etsy site and the rest is history!

I make ties of all "flavors" from serious to whimsical to holiday. My husband is my best advertiser ~ he wears them to work! I can make custom ties as well.... just need to know what someone wants.




After beginning on Etsy with ties, I started to add my other items. Anything country is fair game. I love using old materials and creating new fun items with them. My birdhouses are all recycled deck wood and funky parts found at garage sales. I will be adding my "famous" license plate roof houses soon.

I love sewing and added the line of children's craft and cooking aprons. One of my biggest orders was for a birthday party. My customer wanted 10 matching aprons for a pottery making party. It was a lot of fun to make up her order. The aprons were so colorful and cheerful. She sent me a photo later and her guests looked adorable!

I have other items on my site and will be continually adding more. Wooden items are next on my list, I think. My scroll saw is one of my favorite tools!

Thanks, Sarah, for inviting me to the team. Hope to meet all of you soon! Sandii, Cobb Ivy Corner

So great to have you on the team, Sandii! I love the upcycled birdhouses - the hook for the perch is so clever!

And how fabulous is it that you husband is your walking advertisement!? That's love. Of course, he gets the great perk of having the best tie collection at the office.

Loved your entry for the Vegas themed team contest by the way!
