Busy Busy Busy


I know I said I was going to be a better blogger. I'm trying, but talk about busy!!

My shop is taking off. I mean TAKING OFF! It doesn't look like I'm doing that much, I haven't added that much to the shop. But I've got a back-log of custom orders the length of my arm to weed through! Better than a dozen hats I have to crank out in the next couple of weeks.

Here is the first in line. I had a request for a pair of Who hats in cranberry red for a mother and son. They're going to be garden gnomes for Halloween! Fun fun!!

I'm supposed to WRITE here?

Who knew?

A couple years ago, at my friends urging, I opened a shop at Etsy.com. I didn't do a whole lot with it, it was just there. I had a few knits, hats and scarves, there but didn't really do much to get my name out there. Then I branched out briefly into jewelry and hair bows. Really just crafting ADD. Those did okay. And then....I found out I was expecting baby #3. The shop dropped to the bottom of my priorities and was completely ignored. Much like this blog has been since I created it who knows when and never posted.

But then the baby arrived and I felt inspired to get back to what I love doing...knitting. Specifically knitting baby hats. So now the Knitschmidt shop is back up and running, buzzing right along keeping me busy. And I'm loving it!!

And I'll try to be a better blogger. But...no promises.
