New To My Shop - WristyCuffs

So here's my newest item - Crocheted Wrist Cuffs...I call them WristyCuffs.  They are super cute, super comfy and go with whatever you're wearing.  They're made from 100% cotton so they breathe well, wear well and are machine washable!  I currently have 3 WristyCuffs listed, but there are much more to come.  Right now I'm working on beaded WristyCuffs.

Standard size is 8 inches long by 2 inches wide.  There are 2 button holes so one size fits most.

Here is the Plain Jane in Navy with White Stitching




Here is the Two Strap in Lotus Blossom



WristyCuffs are fully customizable and available in a multitude of colors due to my addiction to cotton yarn.  If you need a particular size or color, just let me know!  These sell for $6.00 plus shipping.

Comments and Critiques are appreciated!

A New Beginning

So, after much thought and deliberation, I've decided to start a blog. I never thought I had time for a blog, but there are so many wonderful blogs that my fellow Etsians manage, I feel like I'm missing out on all the fun.  Now, while I don't think I'm the most creative writer in the world, I do have a lot to say and see a lot of wonderful things that I would like to share.

Now, a little bit about myself.  I'm 31 years old, married with 1 son (almost 2) and 2 step-daughters (14 and 8).  I work full time at a trucking company as the Central Orders Supervisor and (my favorite title of all) International Ops Coordinator.  That 2nd title really doesn't mean a thing at all, but it makes me sound fancy. :)  My job is crazy, hectic, stressful, and mind-numbing all at the same time, but I secretly love it.  I manage a great group of ladies and we have a blast even if we work long hours, only leaving our desks for potty breaks and to make our lunches. 

When I'm not working, I'm creating something.  I love to make things pretty.  I love color, putting colors together, making a mess and not cleaning it up and the satisfaction that comes from creating something with my own 2 hands. I come from an incredibly long line of wonderfully creative people and hope to pass this down to my son and step-daughters.  I love all types of crafting, my speciality being crochet.  I find it as a great source of therapy and comfort...even more now that I have started to sell my creations.  I started my Etsy shop in November of 2010 and found great success right off the bat.

Every day I'm inspired by my fellow Etsians and their talent.  I am utterly jealous of those that have found great success in their shops and now do what they love as a full time job.  I'll get there one day...I just know it...

I have a million ideas for posts so I promise that I will keep things exciting. For now, take some time to check things out. Check out my Etsy Shop and we'll talk more soon.
