So I am gearing up for my very first craft show. I have been asked to do it with one of my husband's cousins. It's very exciting. It's her first craft show, too!! It feels a little less daunting to be doing my first craft show and it not totally being my table of stuff. I don't even have enough stuff first of all and not to mention I don't even know if people will like or purchase my stuff.
Here is one of the hats I have made to sell. It's just a chunky knit beanie with my very first ever crocheted flower. YES! I taught myself how to crochet Saturday night mainly because I want to make some adorable owl hats and I need to crochet the eyes. I was up until 1 am making owl eyes. What can I say. When I obsess about something I just have to figure it out but I totally have to be in the mood or frame of mind to do it. Whatever you want to call that. Then today I put our youngest daughter for a morning nap, let the other two play quietly, and started watching a Youtube videos to walk me through it a crocheted flower. Several attempts later this is what I ended up with. I must say that I was very tempted to throw the crocheted piece across the room a couple times while I was trying to figure out why I was ending up with 4 petals and the video ended with 5! Needless to say some patience and just doing it over and over payed off in the end. A cute little hat that my daughter loves. I will be quickly knitting up several of these in order to sell them. They are toddler sized. Gosh...I am so nervous about this craft show. I hope it goes well!
If this happy little face is any indication then I think I might do ok! I am so truly blessed to have such a great little model. I will have to have the youngest model the next color just to be fair. I also do realize that I have a complete lack of boy designs. That will be ending soon and you will get to see my son's handsome face on here as well modeling some fun hats.
I hope you have a blessed day!
