under construction

I haven't done much with this blog in the last year, but I am working on a REVAMP of the blog.  I will be posting pictures of items I have up for sale and personalization.  This will include crocheted hats, scarves, bags, burp cloths and blankets, bibs, baby/children clothing, and MORE!  If you are interested in an item, I ask that you comment on the post and let me know you want it.  Include your name and email address, and I will get in touch with you to find out what sort of personalization you want with it and arrange our payment and shipment plan.

As you may know, I used to do an etsy shop, but etsy is so big that it was hard for my crafts to be found.  I also want to make this blog a little more personal, catering toward my local friends and clients, as well as folks from other places!  

The awesome thing about this will be that if you see a past item that has been sold, but you are interested in something like that, you can custom order a new item that will be specifically made just for you!!!  I am very excited about this, and hope that this idea for the blog will be successful.

Please be patient as I update and create this blog to be a more interactive way for you to see my crafts and order both ready-made and custom-order creations!

Thank you so much, and we will be up and running soon!!! :)
