The craft sale was super slow this year. Saturday was brutal! No Christmas music (for a Christmas Craft sale?!?!?!) and hardly anyone came. We have a feeling that some poor advertising was maybe involved. Sunday was a lot better. The Santa Clause Parade in my home town was on and it dragged people out of there nice warm houses! Thank-you Santa! Sadly I didn't sell one of these blankets at the sale! I have three of them! This one in green, one with blue and one with pink. One of the best things about crochet is that it never gets passed it's best before date! Will have these up at the street fair this summer and I have them up at my Etsy shop for sale!I will take the time to be completely honest here, as dismal as sales were I still had a good time! I got some Christmas gifts done, some gifts bought, some lovely tea (mmmm tea). Got to spend two fun days with two of my best friends! The three of us have a little side gig (side gig to our regular everyday jobs!) making soaps and lotions. We have a side table at every show with all the stuff we make with our hooks.
Ah those hooks, they come everywhere with me! I am that person that hangs out chatting with folks at pig roasts, birthday parties, bridal showers, long drives while crocheting! It's just what I do! I started in my early twenties (21ish?!) with an old hook my mom had in the kitchen junk drawer and an old pattern book from like the 50's and I was, hooked! I love to make things! I make car parts for a living, I make soaps, lotions and candles with my friends and give me a hook and some yarn and I can make something with that too! Crochet is by far my oldest and dearest passion.
So with my tea almost done it is time to tie things up, I am off to work on my latest project...super chunky cowl, which I will be gifting to one of my SIL's for Christmas!
Happy Hooking!
