Newborn Sets!

As you can see from the pictures below, I finally gave in to the Sock Monkey trend. It's not that I am opposed to the Sock Monkey, it's that I tend to stay away from trends because everyone else is doing it too!

Lucky for you a close friend of mine is expecting little one #2 and wanted the Dino set for him. Her older one already had a sock monkey hat , so she decided to have a set done for the next little one also.

These were very fun and super quick sets. I will get my pricing pages up to dates and you can order to your Geary's content.

Also, stay tuned for an awesome baby girl set!

Everyone Loves a Great Bag!

Mermaid Tears Bag
For those of you who follow me faithfully, thank you. I am sure you have noticed I am slacking in my posting duties lately. I have been busy, busy, busy! Being a wife, mother, and a full-time professional tends to eat up most of my time!

Luckily my hobby of crochet can fit in almost any time! My crochet line has been picked up by a local small business-Blue Orchid Imports! Yes, Blue Orchid Imports, and yes that is my husband's company.

Large Bag
We have decided to join forces and do something experimental and exciting this year: go on a road trip.  This isn't your average road trip.  There will not be excessively long miles driven (I hope), there won't be three days sitting in the car, and hopefully there won't be too much road trip food.  We are planning on hitting local farmers markets and outdoor fairs this summer to give our products to the people.

Which brings me to my latest projects: Purses!  I have been wracking my brain to come up with something I can crochet which is spring-time friendly. Here is what I cam up with!

Medium Bag
If you are anything like me the bag is the accessory to show your true colors!  Mine are usually loud in their color choice i.e. lime green, orange, red...you get the idea. I will be working on bags like that, but I tend to use up the yarn I have, so these are done with scraps and left overs from other projects.   Here is a list of the patterns:
