Ah, crochet. A good old-fashioned art that is still quite popular! You can’t go to a craft show without seeing at least one crochet vendor. Like I tell my friends; everyone crochets! Even though it’s not true that everyone crochets, it’s easy to feel that way when trying to sell crochet items in a world …
I’ve participated in many craft shows, but it wasn’t until this year that I actually started making real money. Keep reading to find how how this one pattern completely saved my craft show life! Humble Beginnings I grew up around craft shows, so I thought I knew what I was doing. My grandmother was a …
I’m going to start out by being 100% honest; this isn’t a pattern that I would have normally purchased. First of all, it’s a devil (and as a Christian I normally wouldn’t search for something like this), and the colors are red and black, my least favorite color combo. However when someone asks me to …
Like many other crocheters and knitters, I love when I am able to put my work in front of hundreds or even thousands of people at a time. It’s even better when a majority of those people had nothing but sweet things to say about my items, and who are even willing to trade some …

Ahh! I’m so excited, because today I completely sold out of my caterpillars! I started making them as a way to use up some of my scrap yarn, and they turned out to be a hit! It’s crazy, because I don’t put a lot of time into my Etsy shop. Don’t get me wrong, I …
Wow it’s been a while since I’ve added any content! Life sure does keep me busy, but guess what? I’m back! The past few months have been a wild ride. My family and I moved from California to Texas for a few months where I did some Army training, and now I’m in Maryland at …
It isn’t easy moving a family of four (plus a dog) halfway across the country, especially when driving two cars in the southern part of the United States…in the summertime. It’s HOT down here y’all! Our family just left our home in California, and now we are finally settled into a cozy apartment in Texas. …
Ah, moving day. It’s approaching rapidly. Tomorrow the movers are coming to haul all of our stuff away to a far away land, known by many as the state of Maryland. Unfortunately for my family, we won’t be going to Maryland just yet; we have to make a 4 month pitstop in Texas. The hardest …
