So I crochet like a grandma. No for real, I really can crochet and I feel like only grandmas do that. I learned when I was like 8-10ish? (Grandma, I have no idea when you taught me!) I know I was super small and not a teen or anything like that. She taught me how to make pot holder and I put them in the fair that year! Then I never did it again until I was pregnant with Gman and made his hats that were in his newbie pictures! Well now apparently crocheting is a "thing" and turns out an assload of people do it! Who the FUCK knew!! So over the winter I crochet and own an etsy store (Not linking it here, because its on VACAY mode) This past Christmas I made roughly 150-175 FUCKING mermaid tail blankets. Lets just say by March 1st, my fucking hands HATEDDD my ass. I don't even care to look at another mermaid tail blanket for as long as I live. And unless you're my uber cute ass niece Ava, NO, no I will not make your child one! It is on facebook and your more than welcome to check it out if you'd like! It's called K&G Crochet after my two baes!
Here are a few pictures of some stuff I've made!
So lets rewind a bit to like last fall. I'd been throwing around the idea of really wanting to get a sewing machine and seeing if I could at the very least sew some pillow case dresses for my KT and niece Ava. Save both her mom and me some money because they both are crazy dress girls! So Eric and the kids bought me one. Then for Christmas to feed the addiction my awesome aunt Nic got me a ton of stuff for the sewing machine and patterns and all sorts of stuff to help me learn! Well I still had an assload of crocheting orders to do and had ZERO time to get any self teaching sewing in. I know a few people who sew. My grandma makes us kids quilts (she does a bad ass job!) My aunt Nic knows how to sew and so does my cousin's aunt Janelle. Well I know I'm super crafty in the crocheting world so I figured why not give it a go. Well 1st time I wasn't sure I would ever use that fucking machine again in my life!
Safe to say I use it on the daily now! My shelves that were once completely full of yarn are now PACKED full of fabric. (I have an issue!) So I tried to follow a pattern, got pissed, confused and annoyed and GAVE THE FUCK UP! That 1 experience and I almost never touched it again because I was like holy shit this is so fucking hard! Then one day I was like let me just see if I don't follow a pattern and look a picture and make some shit up if I can come up with something useful. Guess FUCKING what??? That shit worked! From then on momma was HOOKED! My friends keep asking if I'm going to open up an etys shop for this and as of right now I have zero plans to do that. It's a lot of pressure. Selling for K&G, I felt like if I fucked up one order I was letting down every single customer and that wasn't true. Some people you can't please. Win some, and yah lose some!
So I've been sewing for about monthish. Reason I've been kinda BLAHHHH on IG with weight loss stuff! I'm still here y'all, make sure to check out my most recent weigh in HERE!
So here are a few snaps of some stuff I've made over the past month or so!!
I will also be attending both the Trego Co and Graham Co Fairs this year with my mom!! Make sure if your in the area you come by and say hi to me!! I've got lots to get done and I'm in the process of renamed my business and the name we have picked is....
