Crochet whirlwind

Right now I'm in a crochet whirlwind. I'm getting ready to have a yard sale featuring crocheted items that I'm going to offer for low prices in order to keep clutter from accumulating. Also making things for an upcoming craft & bake sale which will also take place in my yard possibly in late June.


I have made so many things since I last posted pics, it's hard to keep up with taking pics seeing as how I continue to churn out a prolific number of items. I usually crochet 6 days a week.

Last night I made many white cotton rounds that are to be used like cotton balls only washable and reusable. They look like mini coasters.


I have two crochet gift item orders that I'm working on for repeat crochet customers. One order is a Red Heart Buff baby blanket and yellow booties, the other order is for a large RH buff blanket and yellow dish liquid detergent dress.


These baby sets were made by request in December, but the person who ordered them never claimed them so I'm going to offer them for sale:















I used I Love This Yarn! brand yarn for the first time to make the blankets. It was SO SOFT I just about lost my mind working with that yarn, I couldn't get over it.



I'll let potential customers who I don't know well or at all come to my sale know that I'm willing to take orders, but I'll need a deposit before I begin working on their order. I pretty much enjoy just working on what I feel like working on at the time. I alternate between projects.



I worked on decluttering my home for 8 weeks in a row as part of the process to live more simply with fewer things that I don't really need, use, or care about. I still have what I think is a lot of stuff (despite giving quite a bit of it away) which is why I'm going to hold the yard sale. I donated many crocheted items to the local group foster home again in February, I think it was.














Last year my long-term charitable project was scarves, this year it's hats. I already have quite a few completely made and almost done.


The first crocheted item that I made for my beau, an eyeglass case modeled by my eyeglasses.















The second functional gift item for him, a lip balm cozy with complimentary ChapStick:














An acrylic dusting cloth made for my best friend by request. I just added lime green rows to a RH Shocking Pink ripple stitch square that I'd made a long time ago.

Alright, I've got to leap back into my crochet whirlwind. Ciao!
