New adventure in crochet land.


My First Ever Crochet Creation.

This is the first thing I have ever crochet.
I'm so proud of myself.
So, though I have been neglecting my shop and my blog and my house, I have been learning new skills.  
I have also been spending time with my son.  I had realized that even though I'm a stay at home mom I wasn't spending enough time with him, I was so busy doing everything else that I was really missing out on him.
Anyway, So, now after he goes to bed or on the occasional nap he takes I attempt to teach myself knitting and crochet.  This hat is by far the coolest thing I have made to date.
This on is not for sale and will not be.  I have already given it to my mom. Well, sort of, I still have to ship it to her. She lives 3ooo km away.
I will still being doing "fine art" but I realize that if I want creating to be a full time gig. I have to find something that people want.
Right now, I still don't know what that is, but I plan on amassing as many skills as I can until I decide what it is that I want to put out there in to the world.
For now, I will share that journey with you and hopefully you and I can learn a little bit together.

* note-- the pattern for the hat came from the threadbanger website and the pattern for the flowers were found on youtube.
