A Dash of Excitement

A collection of creations conceived by Christy. I make jewelry, greeting cards, crochet toys, sewn baby items, and other treasures.

I get the greatest joy from putting my handmade items in the hands of those who will appreciate them.

📚✨ Happy National Book Lovers Day! ✨📚

Calling all bookworms, page turners, and “just one more chapter” people! 🙋‍♀️📖

A Dash of Excitement has a little something for the readers in your life — from mini books and bookmarks to reading logs, bookish stickers, and other tiny treasures made for people who would rather be reading. 💜

📖 Tell me in the comments:
What book are you reading right now — or what’s one book you could read over and over again?

And if you need a little bookish treat for yourself or your favorite reader, check out my book-themed goodies! ✨

Because you can never have too many books… or too many cute things to go with them. 😉📚

🎉 It's my birthday today! 🎂

The best birthday gift I could ask for is getting to create little handmade treasures that make someone smile. Every order, like, comment, share, and word of encouragement has helped make A Dash of Excitement what it is today, and I'm so thankful for each of you.

To celebrate, tell me in the comments:
🎁 What handmade item always makes you smile?

Thank you for being part of this wonderful adventure. Here's to another year of creativity, crochet, earrings, tiny treasures, and a whole lot of excitement! 💜✨

💜 Happy Parent Appreciation Day! 💜

Today I'd like to celebrate someone who has inspired me in more ways than I can count—my mom.

She has taught me the value of kindness, creativity, hard work, and never giving up. So much of what I create for A Dash of Excitement is inspired by the love, encouragement, and example she has given me over the years.

She truly is my Mother of Inspiration, and I'm incredibly grateful for everything she's done to help shape who I am.

Today, I'd love to hear about someone who has inspired you. 💕 Give them a shout-out in the comments, or tag them so they know how much they mean to you.

Happy Parent Appreciation Day to all the amazing parents, grandparents, and caregivers who fill our lives with love. 🌸

Calling all Stitchers! 🪡🧵

Be honest...
How many needles have you accidentally lost in the couch?

Never!🤣❤️ More times than I can count. 👍
Needle minders are one of those little tools you don't realize you need until you have one!

Happy Handmade Friday! 💙

Every handmade purchase supports a real person, a real dream, and usually a kitchen table covered in supplies. 😂
