Two Needles and a Hook - The beginning of a great year

Hello, my name is Jamie.  My sister, Tammy, and I have enjoyed crafting since we were young girls. We now live in different states.  I have made my residence in Tennessee with my fiance while Tammy remains in our home state of Florida with her husband and family.  We started sharing craft patterns, crocheting, plastic canvas, knitting, etc. a long time ago. However, she is much more experienced in most areas.  She also sews alot, etc.

Last fall, we decided to open an Etsy shop.  Then, Yardsellr, Style.ly, Craigslist, and, finally, Ebay. We sold a few things here and there - knitted cupcake hats, crocheted caterpillar set, crocheted angel awareness ornaments (with a portion of the proceeds going to charity) cocoons, scarves, hats, etc.  Then, it happened!  Two days before the year ended, we had 4 sales in a matter of hours - a blue variegated knitted hat, a multi-blue/black crocheted  granny square/ripple afghan, a multi-pink and white crocheted granny square/ripple afghan, and a caterpillar hat/scarf and mitten set.  Our shop was under construction most of the fall and the year went out with a bang!

I wanted to start blogging today and hope you will follow along with us as we grow.  Not only is it fun and relaxing and somewhat profitable, it has definitely brought us closer.  We are in constant contact with one another.

I will close for now but will return tomorrow with more news of sales, new crocheted/knitted items for sale and/or patterns and images of our creations.  Let us know if there is anything you would like to see us make or if you have any cheap/free suggestions to help build our business and sisterly bond.  Come along, watch us grow!
