Time for Spring!

I'm really excited for Spring time here in Texas.  I think I'm most excited because it seems that we still have some cooler weather in the forecast. That means I get to wear my crochet scarves a little bit longer.  I know when summer comes I will have no need for them because it will be crazy hot.  But, I'm challenging myself to make season appropriate crochet items this year.  It's an exciting thought and I just want to get my yarn out and go!  I've been pretty busy getting my Etsy store in order. And being a mom of three little ones keeps me mighty busy as well.  But I'm hopeful that I can get more items completed.

For spring I'm thinking of lightweight scarves.  I have two large skeins of T-shirt yarn that I can't wait to turn into some lovely spring scarves.  I know they will be great because while it's still a little cool, it's not as cold as winter was here.  I'm also going to focus on some accessories for the kiddos.  I'm thinking purses and headbands and some cute hair clips.  And of course I will be working on jewelry. I just love making jewelry and I can't wait to experiment with all the lovely colors I have stashed away.

Head over to my Esty store: A Stitch Above The Rest  and see what I've put up lately.  And SHOP SHOP SHOP of course. =)

Have a beautiful day!

What I'm Working On

At the moment I am in full business mode.  I have been working on getting my Etsy store up and running and I'm happy to announce it is up!  As of yesterday.  If you're interested please go check it out.  More items coming soon.  Here the link:


This endeavor has been slow going.  I hand make all of my items and with that and with having to photograph everything myself the prep work took a long time. One thing I will say is that I love to crochet.  I'm grateful that something I love to do can result in a business venture for me and my family.  I really want this to work out.  I know it will take time and a lot of trial and error to find out what really works.  I'm ready for the challenge though.  

Here are some of the items I currently have for sale in my Etsy store. Click on the name of the items to be taken straight to that listing.














These are just a few things I have up in the store with many more goodies to come. I also love to crochet hats and baby items so keep a look out for those items in my store as well.  Thank you for stopping by!!
