Happy New Year Everyone!!! Sorry it's been so long. I've been busy with orders, Christmas, and working my day job. This is one thing I need to work on for the new year, writing more on my blog and promoting it. I've never been that great at it. I usually just post on Facebook, but I want to work on my blog more this year by sharing more of my projects, patterns  and anything else I can think of. :)

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving! :)

I've been dabbling in knitting lately. Nothing fancy, just trying to get the hang of it. Here's a couple things I've made:

I've been struggling lately....I'm trying to figure out what specific area that I want to focus my business around. Some people focus just on hats or character hats, others it may be baby items but I'm trying to figure out what my niche would be. I love to make a lot of different things (some more than others) but I do know that I like the smaller, quicker projects. I tend to get bored with what I'm working on and start something new, and then not going back and finishing the other. And seeing all the new patterns on Ravelry and other places that I just want to try but just don't finish them. I also like to make things that are useful, hot pads, dish towels, cleaning stuff, card holders, wallets, baskets, small totes etc etc. I love amigurumi as well...LOL see I can go on and on.

My question is... How did you figure out what you wanted to make the most? Where you wanted to focus your time and energy on? I'd love to hear all the comments!

I'm currently working on some Christmas Items that will make great stocking stuffers!!! :) This is my Christmas Cup Cozy Collection. I'll be adding some Christmas Ornaments soon!

I finished up this cute little guy today! The purple minion inspired by the movie, Despicable Me. I've made a lot of the yellow ones but I just had to do the purple one!
This one fits a newborn, but I will be making them in all sizes. I've also added him to my etsy shop, Lady D Crochet

I made this adorable little pouch earlier this week. He's sooo cute! I'm definitely gonna more, especially for gifts! :) It's a free pattern by Chi Wei at One Dog Woof http://www.1dogwoof.com/2013/08/crochet-owl-pouch-with-pattern.html
