On Cloud Cake 9
After three handmade crocheted items done and listed in the shop ready today, I am working with Carnon Cloud Cakes Perfect Phasing in Rubarb color to make something special. This project is likely to be a throw or an afghan but haven't decided which yet. When it's done, I will list it in the shop. I am also working to get more blanket yarn to do more baby blankets and some throws. As always, if there is something special order you want made in our list of services, just email or fill out our contact form. I am also planning to hopefully add crochet lessons soon so stay tuned.
On to the next item and more!
I finished the custom ordered item and delivered it to the customer. I wasted no time getting to work on the first of what I’m sure are many Baby Bunny brand baby blankets. The item is available in the shop now and I will add pictures as soon as I can. I am now working on a rainbow hexagon throw to sell. I will be alternating the items I make between the Baby Bunny brand and The Bunna throw brand. I want to add color, beauty and uniqueness to the shop and offer something pretty and special. As I get both crocheted items and pens made, I’ll be adding them to the shop within the span of a week. As always, if there is something in particular you are looking for or just want something speical made for a gift for someone else or even for yourself, the customization service is always available. I’ll be sure to post updates here and on the facebook page.
The Cardi is almost done!
I made great progress The Cardi commission piece. I already have it in a position where I just need to line up everything together and give it a border on the sleeves and the bottom to ensure everything is looking nice and won’t come apart. After that is the item’s first wash to ensure it is the utmost clean and sanitized. Once The Cardi is finished, I will move on to a few baby blankets, so I have something available to sell. I have colors for little girls and little boys. I know there are some who may want one custom made with different colors. All crocheted items I make are able to be custom ordered. See the services tab for more information on price and time required to complete. Going forward I am going to invest more into the heavier weight yarn to make some weighed blankets. I also have some really pretty yarn I can’t wait to use. I hope to have The Cardi done sometime next week. Stay tuned here and on all the platforms I’m on for updates and new content and items.
My update on The Cardi commission piece
I have made so much progress with regards to The Cardi Commission. A commission is what the art world in general for a custom ordered piece or work of art no matter the form it takes. Crochet and Pen Turning are no exception to this rule because both are a form of art. I am nearing the end of the current project and will soon be making things from crochet and pen turning to sell so stay tuned. I have plans to get some new pen blanks and some Touch Stylus Twist Pen kits to get going since I can get them easier and faster. The rest will come in later. The store closings for Jo-ann’s threw the current project into a whole different territory. The one word crochet artists fear most is the word “discontinued” because if youre in the middle of a project and it’s not finished and one of the yarn colors youre using gets discontinued then you cant get anymore of that color if you run out and need more. What you have is all that’s left. With Jo-ann’s going out of business I have to treat the Big Twist brand of yarn the same way because they are clearing out their warehouses and there’s no telling if there is more of any one color I am using in there and no telling if it will be in the store when I can finally get down to the store to look. I work full time and do the crochet as a transitional object. It helps me stay calm and helps with my anxiety, stress and I feel like a have a sense of purpose of sorts,. The byproduct of that crochet therapy is what I make and sell to you. I take great pride in my work and craftsmanship. I also want to help those with PTSD and other anxiety disorders find comfort or a way to deal with their anxiety and stress like I have. I just want to help in whatever way I can. For now, I just need to finish the current commission and prepare to make some beautiful pens.
