When individual fibers are crocheted together with a thread of emotion, they become an original, personal design. This creative process is my joyful obsession

Maybe? Maybe Not?

I apologize for letting the blog slack this week.  It's just been one of those weeks.  I have caught the cold/flu bug that everyone has had.  And, have spent the majority of this week sitting on the couch with tissues flying everywhere.

I have finished the romper out of the set I was working on, and like how it turned out.  Just need to make sure in the future to use bigger hooks.  This one came out about a preemie size and it should have been a 0-3 months.  I crochet fairly tight, and should have known better than to use the hook that the pattern called for.  I still need to do the beret, and the booties.  But, had a custom order come in for a Woody Hat (From Toy Story) so I have put the romper set aside to get Woody created.  I am hoping to have him finished today!

I have listed my items for sale on etsy, zibbet, artfire, ebay, and bigcartel.  I have had a lot of "hits" or views, but no orders.  I can't help but wonder what I'm doing wrong?  I see so many items like the ones I create that the individual is swamped with orders, and I can't even get one.  I tried running a special on my facebook site, but no one even bit on that.  Maybe my expectations and dreams are a little too high.  I tend to get discouraged and disapointed easily.  But, I will hang in there, and see where this road leads. 

Hope everyone enjoys this dreary day!  I can't believe that it's snowing again!
