Simply Crafting

Last week my father in law announced to the family that he is getting married.  It was a huge shock to the entire family as he has only known this woman for about two months and his wife (my husband’s mother) has only been gone since September of last year.  But my husband and I have decided to make the best of it.  The man is almost 70 so he has his mind made up and there is no changing it.

So I have decided to make them a unicorn cross stitch picture as a wedding present.  And because this pattern takes me so much time to do I will be devoting all my crafting activities to this one project.  Everything else will be put on hold until I get this done.  But I will be posting  pictures of my progress and if this cross stitch is something that you would like to own, just let me know and I have no problems making another one.

Well I have to say that business has started to pick up!  So much so that I am getting orders and actually have people waiting for orders now!  As it is only me doing all the work, and realistically because of the low profit margin, it can only be me making it, the work is kind of going slow but through word of mouth, people are willing to wait!

So far I have made two sets of homemade jewelry sets, finished a doggie quilt, have another quilt on the go and also have a knitted afghan on the go as well.  So, with all this work ahead of me, Christmas up and coming as well as my other side job of paid blogging I am one busy momma!  But, as I am the type of person who cannot stand to just sit around and do nothing, this is awesome news for me.

And, as always, I will keep you all posted with my progress!

As you can all see, this site is pretty much brand new with not a whole lot of content in it YET.  There is a reason for this.  That’s because I don’t have a whole lot of crafts finished that are ready for sale yet.  I have been working quite steadily on a couple of quilts and I just received my first jewelry kit in the mail so I will be working on this craft as well.  I have posted a couple of pictures so you can get a small glimpse into what will eventually be on sale and I welcome you all to come back again for another peak real soon.
