crochet-a-thon

i've been on a vacation from work

which means i have lots of time to crochet

and crochet... and crochet...

a few items i've been working on:

boot cuffs

shawl

scarves

more pictures to come...

settling in

now that all the excitement from the craft fair is starting to wear off

i decided to settle in and make myself something new for winter

now if it would just get cold enough to wear them! :)

wow!

W.O.W.

i am still reeling from the excitement

and am still so completely flattered

that so many people like my crocheted items!

it was the first craft fair i've entered

and i didn't set too many expectations...

maybe sell a couple of scarves to cover the fees

never did i imagine to sell almost everything!!!

i am so humbled and filled with so much gratitude

thank you to everyone who made their way to say hello

and an even bigger thank you to everyone that purchased something

i hope you truly enjoy your purchase

... now i've got to get crocheting to fill back up my etsy shop

fair bound

i decided to enter the holiday craft fair at my work this year

crocheting

i truly enjoy crocheting

every single little loop

and double crochet

and chain

and yarn over

and just all the yarn-y goodness

and to think people from the world wide web

want to purchase something...

**that i made**

just floors me

makes my day

makes me want to do cartwheels

run circles in the yard

scream & jump for joy

ok.... back to crocheting now. :)
