Etsy Now Open!!! 10/25/1014

With many encouraging words from friends I finally attempting to run a store front via Etsy. Now, I now everyone and their mom has shops on Etsy. I mean why not? Its so convenient and everyone does everything with the tip of there fingertips. I have see people order toilet paper online so why not my hats to. Keeping in mind I know that I will not become a millionaire or be able to quit my day job with this shop, but I am interested to see if I can sell a few items and with Christmas coming up the extra $5 cant hurt.

I am always making something whether it is a DIY craft or knitting or crochet that I have bought I storage bin to keep all of my finished projects. when ever someone has a new baby I just pull something out and have an instant gift! I love coming up with new project to mainly this store is for an excuse for me to make something new.

Here are a few things that can be bought from my shop:

 Santa inspired baby booties~ These boots were inspired for the upcoming holidays in December.
 The Hooting Owl Hat~ I know everyone has a owl hat in their store but I just couldn't resist making one myself! They are just to darn cute.
 Pumpkin hat~ this is in a past blog but I just thought I would throw this in here for anyone new! Just because Halloween is over tomorrow night doesn't mean you can't have a pumpkin hat for the rest of Fall.
Strawberry Shortcake Hat~ this little cutie was just so fun to make I wish I had a girl so I could make more pink things!

Here is my personal preference on it: Round 1: Start by making a magic circle, (you don't have to start your motif like this, but this is my personal preference when starting a "in the round" project) chain 1 to secure magic circle ends, single crochet, chain  4(counts as a double crochet and a chain 2 gap), *double crochet twice, chain 2* repeat from * to * 4 more times, double once more.  (You will have 6 clusters of two double crochets and chain gaps)  To end the round, single crochet into top of first double crochet (Second chain of first 4 chains) You can end rounds anyway you want, again this is just my personal preference! Round 2: Chain 2 [always counts as Doubl...

2022 Temperature Blanket - Color Chart

It means (in the crafting world) its time to start a new temperature blanket (or attempt to make).  What's a temperature blanket you ask?

I have made up a new color chart graph for the year 2022, then I will use the color for what the temperature is around noon each day.  I am using Caron Simply Soft Yarn:  Grey: -3° and below Off White: -2 to 1° White: 2-5° Blackberry: 6-9° Orchid: 10-12° Grape: 13-15° Iris: 16-19° Plum Perfect: 20-22° Soft Blue: 23-25° Robin's Egg: 26-29° Blue Mint: 30-32° Royal: 33-35° Dark Country Blue: 36-38° Chartreuse: 39-42° Pistachio: 43-45° Green: 46-48° Kelly: 49-52° Dark Sage: 53-55° Baby Sunshine: 56-58° Autumn Maze: 59-61° Gold: 62-65° Neon Orange: 66-68° Persimmon: 69-72° Orange: 73-75° Pumpkin: 76-79° Strawberry: 80-83° Watermelon: 84-87° Neon Pink: 88-91° Fucshia: 92-95° Red: 96-98° Autumn Red: 9...
