crafts

This is what else I have been doing with my time.
I have been practicing crocheting and I am really enjoying it. So far I have just been making hats, they seem to be pretty easy. A friend from work asked me to try and make a yo gabba gabba hat for her daughters 1st birthday. I looked forever on the internet for a pattern but couldn't find a free one so I just winged it. I was pretty proud of myself considering I just started crocheting. So all these new babies being born- this is probably what you'll get from me!




The other craft I have been making is embroidery key fobs. This is what all our teachers and family members got for Christmas this year. I really would love to start an Etsy shop online selling these. They are so easy to make. I actually have sold a few and have an order for 7 more this week. I am so exciting. My goal is to save all the money I make from the keychains and then someday buy myself a new embroidery machine. I would have to sell over 400 to buy the machine I want!

Did you buy the key fobs at Craftster.com? Those keychains are really popular here in Vacaville. I've never used the webbing though, I've only made them with fabric.
