New book!

As some of you know, I've been wanting to branch out in my crocheting. I've been wanting to learn to read patterns, crochet different shapes, etc. Now I have a couple books to help me achieve that goal. First, I ordered Crocheting for Dummies a while back, I had it from the library at the time of the fire, but unfortunately, it claimed to book so I was left without a way to help me remember certain knots and stitches. Now that I have the book, I am back at crocheting. Then, yesterday, for my birthday, my stepmother-in-law and father-in-law gave me an Amigurumi book about crocheting animals and toys. I'm excited to try them out and see how well I do. I hope to get some done soon and post pictures of them. Thanks Thayne and Marie for the book!

Rebuilding.

As most of you may know, we had an unfortunate accident a week before Christmas. Our apartment complex burned down. We were not home at the time so we were safe. Fortunately, no one was injured in the fire and we were able to salvage some of our things. But unfortunately, all the yarn for my crocheting was a total loss. I've had to rebuild my yarn supply. The epilepsy products, however were salvaged and still for sale. I have been able to work on the epilepsy bracelets and they should be available for purchase soon. Things have been slow going with the blog and crocheting as we work on rebuilding the rest of our lives and get settled in our new place. Hopefully things will pick up soon. If anyone wishes to contribute and donate, feel free. Yarn, beads, gift cards, jewelry-making supplies, etc, are all welcome. Hoping all is well with you!

Epilepsy Ribbon

Here's a glimpse at one of the products I will be making/selling for Epilepsy Awareness. I haven't yet figured out the price, but will soon. Especially with Chad's help. :) It won't be very expensive, probably just a few dollars. Now to make some more and work on another product. It feels great to get this underway and to help give my fellow epilepsy sufferers hope that someday we will find a cure. I'm lucky my situation is fairly mild and that I've been able to find the right medication the first time around. Many others aren't as lucky. Some peoples' seizures are so debilitating that they have difficulty speaking, walking, and have many cognitive issues. Some are so unlucky that nothing works, no matter what they try, and they are forced to endure major seizures dozens of times a day, sometimes as many as 20. It's long past time that changed. Let's help them. Every dollar helps.

Branching out.

So, I'm seriously considering branching out in what all I plan on selling. I'd like to learn other crafts, simple jewelry or something. I'm also seriously thinking about getting into quilting. I've got a lot of time on my hands and want to fill it with something worthwhile. This will also give me more time to hone my crocheting to where it is worthy to sell.

The cards came!

My new 'business' cards came! Well, I actually got them at the beginning of August, I'm just slow to post this. Now to get the details of selling, prices, etc., figured out and build up a supply of stuff to sell. Guess I better get going. :)
