Crazy Crocheting Machine....

Well not quite, but still I would love to think that one day I will be! I was recently taught how to do a simple crochet stitch and its really anthing but simple! There have always been people around me who knew how to crochet but I never had much interest in it until I started having babies. There are some really cute things out there that can be made for your little one's and I loved the thought of making them things that one day they will be able to give to their babies. I didn't know the amount of skill and dedication it actually takes. I think that I had taken it for granted since the talented people in my family have always done it with such ease, I figured, "Well it can't be that hard, it must be in my blood!" WRONG!!! Ha ha ha. I am learning and I will continue to learn becuse the end product is so worth it. There are few things that I really am focused on getting for my shop, so keep checking back to our Etsy page and Face book page to see how it turns out. WISH ME LOTS OF LUCK!!!!!!!

Creativity requires pain

Welcome to my very first blog! This is apparently the thing to do when you are starting your own little piece of the world to create and sell your items. So I thought why not, lets give it a try, I can do anything, GRRRR.

This blog will mostly be short and sweet. I was making a few items to get started really selling and I realized this is hard work! Not that I didn't know that going in, I've always crafted, but it just seemed very real at the moment. And the physical injuries I have inflicted upon myself over the past month are nothing to laugh at. I have stabbed myself one to many times with GIANT needles, had both my hands cramp from crocheting, and burnt my hands over and over again with my cute, pink, innocent looking little glue gun. Crafting never seemed this painful before. I think the higher expectations I have put on myself have started to warp my brain. Plus doing it late into the night while the little one's are asleep isn't the best idea. Take note glue gun at 1:30am is not a good idea.

Oh well, pain is small sacrifice to get to have fun and create things that I myself enjoy and hopefully you will enjoy too.
