And my goal is to help you make money with your favorite hobby. In my blog you will find over 40+ patterns that were designed by me specifically for those who sell their makes to bring in extra income.
You will find that vendor markets are my JAM (I have been doing them for over 12 years!) and almost all of my blog posts are geared towards market prep.
Thank you for checking out my blog and be sure to subscribe if you wish to learn more about how I was able to turn my favorite hobby into a full-time income.
This project is quick and easy and is a type of crochet embellisment that looks awesome as a wristlet, but would also be great to add to the top of a basket, a pillow, a planter pot, or even a neckline or sleeves on a shirt! I give you the math necessary to adapt it how you like, and it works up really quickly. These wristlets are also one of my best sellers at my crochet craft fairs. Betcha can’t make just one!

It’s a fun project that is sure to make you stand out at your markets and raise your brand’s awareness!
Read MoreThis project uses a fun new yarn by Lion Brand called For the Home Cording and the stitch definition is absolutely gorgeous!

Read MoreLast year, my sister in law came up with the idea for a design for a boho fruit hammock. She and her husband travel full time and she said she couldn’t find a cute one for their RV. I set out to make one and came up with my Happy Hammock. I have had so many people contact me to let me know they loved making the mini hammock for various uses that I decided to make another one using a different design. These little mini hammocks are a great way to use up vertical space. You can put your fruit inside, or you could even store extra toilet paper, hand towels, yarn, or stuffies inside!
