Good morning! ; ) I started this blog yesterday - wanted to start off on the beginning of the New year. I mentioned that my sister is far more experienced with creating crafts - crochet, knit and hand sewn. I just got so excited with the news of the "record" (in a 24 hour time period) sales on Ebay but there is more! We have two separate Ebay accounts and I reposted the same two afghans that we had sold. It wasn't an hour later the minimum bid had been met on the hand crocheted multi-blue/black granny square/ripple afghan! A few hours later there were more questions from Ebay members regarding the size of the hand crocheted multi-blue/black granny square/ripple afghan and the multi-pink hand crocheted granny squareripple afghan! ; ) I am going to post some images of these handmade gifts/items so you will know what I am referring to. I also wanted to tell you that I received a brand new Husquarvarna sewing machine from Santa Claus. I can now learn how to sew!
Today is Monday. It is the beginning of my actual "work week" I made a resolution that I would treat this venture like a real business, posting new hand crocheted/knitted items that we have created as we make them and managing the pages/accounts we have with Craigslist Knoxville and Ft. Myers; Yardsellr, Style.ly, Ecrater, and Ebay. Everyday, I will make a call to 2 boutique/consignment, baby, children, women's craft, specialty, boutique shops in the Knoxville and Ft. Myers areas. I will offer our handmade crocheted/knitted items to them for sale. If anyone has or knows of such a shop that might be interested in taking part in this venture please feel free to contact us with information. Okay, off to "work" now....this is so exciting!!!!
I am calling it "work" but, it is very rewarding in that
#1 my sister and I are bonding deeper. We are in contact via telephone and/or email several times a day.
#2 crocheting/knitting is very therapeutic, relaxing. I have personally suffered with depression over the years and you wouldn't believe the amount of stress it relieves for me to crochet (Tammy is the knitter)
#3 profitable? We'll see.....lol. We have found some great deals on yarn, people selling/giving away. That is another thing you can do for us if you know anyone that has unwanted yarn/material, let us know.
Thanks, and have a blessed day.
