Well, I have been neglecting my blog lately… sorry, guys! Most of you know that I have been a crocheting machine for the past month or so! What started off as a few harmless baby hats has turned into a mini-business for me. I didn’t see that coming at all!
This can all be blamed on my sister, Kelsi, by the way. She wanted a few hats for baby Braxton (he should be here in just a few weeks now!), and I was pleasantly surprised by how quick and easy they were to make. So I thought I’d see if any of the local military families (I think of it as the Tri-Base Area, haha) would be interested too. Well, they were! I suddenly found myself scrambling to think of prices and get some photos up on Facebook. I haven’t had a day without an order to fill since. No complaints here… I’m making some money by doing one of my favorite hobbies, while sitting in my pajamas watching movies. Yeah, the chore board has been a bit neglected… oops. Good thing we don’t have pets or kids to make a real mess of the house!
But the house has been taken over. By yarn.
I usually manage to corral all of the yarn in bags and baskets. Sometimes I even bring some of it upstairs to the craft room. Although, when I do, I end up needing a color I just brought upstairs, so it all ends up back in the living room. I find scraps of yarn on the floor (which are now being collected in an empty Wheat Thins box), yarn fuzz on all of my clothes (sometimes I remember to use the lint roller before I leave the house…sometimes), and finished projects lining the back of the sectional. Man, I must have a very tolerant husband. 🙂 He DOES get to use all the throw pillows now, since I rest my arms on skeins of yarn.
I’m up to 22 completed items now, not including the ones I made for Kelsi. I can’t wait to see those little hats on my nephew-on-the-way! Here are a few of my other customers though:
