How’s that for a blog title? I have a couple thoughts and things to share today.
1. Staged pictures. I have a love/hate relationship about these pictures floating around on Instagram. If you follow me there, you have already read my thoughts. I love the way the pictures look but I hate the effort it takes to stage and take the picture. I think it’s almost lame. For example, to take this picture below, I pulled our kitchen table close to our window to get as much natural light as I could. I brewed the coffee and picked the most photo worthy mug. So lame! I must have looked insane. Now, I of course drank the coffee. I was making it anyway. Bottom line, I decided I am not ashamed of my amateur staged pictures. I won’t have the perfect white background along with other accessories. I just want to show my creations in the way that fits my personality. This picture below is pretty much that! It’s my favorite yarn, my favorite beverage, in one of my favorite mugs.
2. New hat style in the Etsy Shop! I call this one the Adult Belle Beanie. It’s so comfortable! You’re never too old to wear a pom pom either. I also added a couple more colors of scarves and hats as well.
Here are a couple other new listings
The striped hat is my absolute favorite! I made one and ended up keeping it for myself.
3. Giveaway winner! The winner for the crochet kit giveaway is Sarah L! You will be contacted for your mailing info to receive your kit. Congratulations!
That’s all for now friends. Have a great week!
Mary!

ReplyDeleteThose are great hats and scarves. I crochet for a long time already, but I'm not so good in it as you are. Though I have to become better as I recently found myself being pregnant, despite on the fact I was using iud. But it appeared everything's possible: http://rocketparents.com/iud-pregnancy-symptoms/ and I'm actually so excited. So now I need to learn how to crochet baby clothes as it's adorable as for me)
