Hey all! I have really been on the down low, but I have been having crafter's block until lately. I started this really cute bag and am making some great progress. I underestimated the amount of yarn I needed so I am at a stopping point right now until I get out and buy some more yarn. I decided that I am going to make some modifications too. The purse is originally supposed to have a short strap, but I am deciding to make the strap longer so I can put the bag across my body. I got a great deal at Joann's for some fabric to use as the lining. The color matches up perfectly and I think it will add a nice vibe to the bag. All I have to do now is find someone who can sew or learn to sew myself. Not to mention this pattern is completely free and can be found here.It is well written so far and I have had no problems at all.
On to something else, I mentioned in an earlier post about Rosie's Cozies and have whipped up a few more hats to add to my pile from a year ago. I have close to thirty made right now and hopefully will make some more with all the scrap yarn I have. I was surprised at how tiny these hats turned out to be! This is a great charity to help out and using crocheting or any hobby to help others is the most rewarding thing a crafter can experience.
Some more hats I made
I have really been debating on whether or not to make an etsy shop. I have heard mixed things about how successful it is. As I am getting closer to college I would really like to expand my business to help me actually pay my way through college. What do you think? If you have an etsy shop, how has your experience been with it?Thanks,
Britt
