I spent all day yesterday working on a super-cute bucket hat! It's the first in my newest line of spring accessories and clothing. Today I'm going to start working on some embellishments/appliques for the hats to liven them up a bit. I'll attach some photos when they are complete!
Until next time :)

Spring Things
Friday, December 26, 2008
Welcome!
This is officially my first blog!
I'm a VERY addicted crocheter! As a child, my grandmother taught me the very basics of crocheting. Until about a year ago I hadn't picked up a needle but decided that I'd give it a shot. I was VERY pregnant and had a 2 1/2 year old to look after. I was looking for something to occupy my time while my little one was sleeping/playing etc. So, I bought a book and some cheap yarn and that's where it all began! I started out with the basics...hats, scarves and blankets for my boys. Most didn't turn out so well but as I fed my addiction :) I got better. I began making blankets for baby showers. I made anything I could think of, for anybody who may want it! Eventually, I had people telling me that I should sell my things. My hubby also hinted at the fact that he wouldn't keep feeding the addiction so that I could give away what I made, lol!
AND HERE I AM! I currently sell baby things on crochele.etsy.com and also sell baby things in a baby/mom boutique called Styledbaby Boutique. I absolutely love it! It's so exciting to see people who love my work as much as I do. Nothing makes me happier than a proud parent choosing one of my pieces for their little one. It's a huge compliment!
I'm currently working on spring things. Getting ideas for hats, sweaters and anything that may be a little springy :).
Well, that's it for now. I'll be updating my blog as new ideas occur :). Thanks for reading and have a good one!
