Crocheted toys and kitchen items
I have been in the crafting business for over 45 years. I started crafting as a child and have never wanted to stop. There is always something new to try. I am a home crafter, therefore I have no studio. I work alone and wherever I am, such as the couch, kitchen table or even in the car when we are travelling. My crochet hook and glue gun are my most important tools. My husband Ken is my only help as he helps me set up, take down and haul boxes. I started selling in small church sales and have progressed to shows such as OUR BEST TO YOU. I’ve had no formal training and just learn by trying new patterns or making up my own patterns. I try to keep my prices low so that younger people can afford to buy the toys.
