Week #2

I'm starting off this week with an adorable picture from one happy little toddler! Lincoln "the elf" is a two year old looking forward to Christmas - which is when his little brother is due! (Little brother also received some of the Homespun Dream's fun - he got the Rudolph hat and diaper set from last week's picture!)

This week has been BUSY! I had an order from a few weeks ago that I've been working on and I'm finally, finally finished with it! This customer and her husband LOVE the show Firefly, and requested five Jayne hats - enough for the whole family, including a little infant one for their upcoming arrival. Speaking of their upcoming arrival, he got a few more goodies - a little R2D2 hat and a panda set!

But the week doesn't end there! I'm starting on another large order that's not just hats, but baby crochet sacks for photo shoots. My fingers are going to be SORE after finishing up the Santa Sack set, a Hungry Caterpillar set, and two ribbed cable hats, but I've been so eager to do these so I'm super excited! So far, this is what the Santa Sack looks like:

Hoping to get a good portion of this order done this week so I can have it up and listed for next week and move on to the next big order (lots and lots of big orders coming!), this time for a set of triplets! 

Week #1

This week was full of half done orders. I'm spreading myself a bit thin, and I've been so busy that I had a hard time keeping up. The most important order (the one who paid me last week) I did finish and is now ready to ship. Now I'm working on two large orders - one has seven hats and a baby set, and the other has two baby sets and two hats and is continuing to add to that. I'm hoping to get most of the first order completed this week and hopefully at least half of the second. There's so many large order requests right now, which put a lot of pressure on me, but they're fun to do. Once those are completed, I have a special request for triplet sets! That sound be a fun one, two baby girls and one little boy all in almost matching sets.

Here's the order I just finished, for a little two year old boy and his brother coming around Christmas. This is the third or fourth reindeer I've sold and either the fourth or fifth elf hat so far. They're quite popular!

A New Blog

I decided that my old blog was getting too crowded, between my business, my crafting world, cooking and baking and posts, so I'm taking one of those out - this will be my business blog only. I'll be updating on a weekly basis about what creations I've custom made for order or ideas and products that are brand new in the store.

It's a busy time at Homespun Dreams, so I'm excited to get started on this. Every week I've been getting multiple custom orders and sending hats out my door. This will be a great way to keep track of all the fun that goes into this crochet business!
