Crochet Business

I've been thinking about this for a long time now and I think I'm finally going to do something about it. I want to open a store with the handmade items I make. I did it awhile back for a short time and did sell about 3-4 afghans, but really didnt' keep up with it.

I think after the holidays, I'm going to really get my store going. I already have many items that I have made that would go up for sale. Right now, I have to finish up birthday and Christmas gifts before I can get started on the store. Maybe over time, it can develop into something big, who knows.

As for right now, I am still working on the "Candy Cane" afghan which is almost done. After that is done, I will finish up the baby sweater for my nephew that I started. His 1 year birthday is after Thanksgiving so I want to get that sweater done in time for that. Then I also have a jogging suit for him which will be for Christmas, plus an afghan I want to make him as well as some other sweaters/clothes.

Hopefully the next time I post, I'll be able to show the "Candy Cane" afghan.

Another set of hands




For those of you that crochet, I'm sure you can relate..I need another set of hands. I am constantly looking at patterns and wanting to do almost every one I see. And it gets very frustrating because there are many that I would like to do for Christmas gifts, but I know I won't have time to do them all!!!

I now have a 2 baby sweaters, a baby jogging suit and an afghan in the works, all at the same time. I want them all done by Christmas besides another baby jogging suit, another baby sweater set, a bag, a few cell phone holders, some dish cloths and an afghan or two that I want to get done. I know it's not going to happen and it just makes me crazy!!!!!!!!!!!! Sometimes I just get so overwhelmed that I will sit and not work on any of them.......not knowing which one I want to work on!!!

I think what I need is more time...I need to quit my job so I can spend more time on my crocheting. Well, I guess that's not an option at this point.......boy..I can't wait for retirement!!!!
