Hello! I'm Back After A Very Long Break.

-

Here's my first blog post in about four or five years! I can't believe it's been that long. I took a break from selling on Etsy about 3 years ago and let my website and domain go. I just could not afford it any more with trying to keep up with my health; Rheumatoid arthritis and a lot of back issues. Everything was just too much especially with trying to keep up with customer orders, I just gave up.

Now its been about two weeks since my best friend Roger passed away, my dog, and I have decided to re-open my Etsy shop and take things very slowly. I am feeling much better now especially after changing my meds around for the arthritis and treatments for my spine issues and also better meds for that. I am not going to do special custom orders this time around nor pay for a website or do all the social media marketing. I'm just going to take it slow and if I can sell my items, great! If I don't, then I won't lose a ton of money trying to kill myself for nothing! Anyway....Here's Roger just before he passed...




Now that my shop is back up and running and I have been updating my items and refreshing my listings, here is my first item posting;

Handmade Crochet Baby Blanket; Rainbow Clouds Design

⬤ This handmade, soft Rainbow Baby Blanket would be the perfect gift for any new boy or girl! The baby soft yarn makes this a perfect swaddling blanket or that blanket a child can grow up with and carry with them for their first few precious years of life.

⬤ The blanket is soft, colorful and the perfect newborn size. I made this beautiful blanket with 100% soft acrylic baby yarn in the colors white, yellow, light blue, purple, peach, light purple, sage green and blue. These colors would look perfect with any nursery décor. This would make a perfect gift for any mom to be!

⬤ The size of this blanket is 29" x 28.75" or 74 cm x 73 cm.

⬤ I crocheted this in a fairly simple pattern to give it a puffed, textured, look and feel. The crocheted edging is a reverse single crochet stitch, which looks a little like a braided rope around the blanket. The blanket only weighs 15 oz. 

Until my next post!

  Introduction: Caring for Handmade Items Caring for handmade knit/crochet yarn items can be very easy if you follow some simple instructions, and your items will be able to last for many years to come. Before we get to washing your adorable keepsake items, you must first know exactly what type of yarn the item was made from. This is extremely important and how you will care for the item will be based upon this important fact. Now, I always include a card with my handmade items telling my customer what type of yarn was used in making the item they purchased from me. I believe most other sellers will do the same, but if you were given an handmade item and you do not know the type of yarn used in the making of the item, then always  follow the handwashing and air drying instructions, with for example,  Fine Fabric Wash 3.3 Oz: Lavender ,   as a precaution.  Never Use The Following There are things that should never be used   or done on any handmade yarn ite...
