Pictures are done!

I got all but one of the pictures taken last night. They came out rather nice. I burned them onto a CD for my friend who will be designing the web site for me. We have over 30 items for sale right now. Not bad for just a couple of months work.

I am working on a logo for Carrot Top Crafts in crochet. It's about the size of two mouse pads. Should be really nice. If it works out, I will take a picture of it and it will be the opening shot for the web site. This is a totally original design and it was a blast to plan.

There will be a arts and crafts fair this weekend at a local flea market and I am in the process of trying to get a table. We now have enough stock to be able to go public and get special orders as well. I can't wait.

Until then, hope to hear from you.

Happy Stitching!

It's finally going to happen!

Finally. I am going to be taking pictures of the pieces I have done so far! I can't believe it has taken me so long to do this. I think the reason why I haven't done it yet, is the fact that I really don't want to have to repack everything back in the totes. Unpacking is fun, packing is not.

As far as commissions go, I may actually have a large assignment coming up. A woman in one of the local sororities here in town bought a couple of rose lapel pins from me and will show them to her sisters in their bi-monthly meeting tonight. If they like them, they will commission me to make a lot more for a fundraiser they are planning. Their official flower is the yellow rose (of friendship) and the ones I made for her were absolutely beautiful. Beautiful and quick to make. Their annual meeting is in May and I am certain that I will have more than enough time to make as many as they need.

I am about to start shopping around for screen printing places in my area to make up a couple of T-shirts for myself and Mandy so when we do open up a booth somewhere, we will be dressed for the occasion. I already have several good leads on where to go.

As always, if there is anything that you are interested in. Please email us at carrottopcrafts@mail.com. All comments are welcome and appreciated.

Happy stitching!
