Etsy shop!

Hello all!

A few weeks go I opened my own Etsy shop LoveColoursCrochet.etsy.com! It was a lot of work but I'm very proud how my shop has become!

Small selection of my baby blankets collection

The only small downside was that the name 'Love Colours And Crochet' was one caracter more than allowed for an Etsy shopname so I had to change it in LoveColoursCrochet.

I take great care and love in making all the items I sell and wrap them nicely. So it will make a beautiful present to give away or a wonderful gift to receive yourself!

In my shop you can find colourful baby blankets but also in modest colours and in different patterns.

You can also find toys/amigurumi in my shop.

Have a look in my new shop, LoveColoursCrochet.etsy.com and I hope you will find something you like so I can send you your gift, nicely packed ofcourse, soon!

WIP or NIP?

This week I made a very bold decision......to finish all my WIP's! For people who don't know what a WIP is: it means Work In Progress.

WIP

 Normally you start a project and finish it. So how does a project ends somewhere in a dark corner of a closet and becomes a NIP (Not In Progress)? 

NIP

Something happens what causes you to stop with your project: you get an order (yahoo!!), you run out of yarn (oh nooooo!!), you have problems understanding a pattern and get stuck (?????) or you have finished all the crochet work and but gets demotivated because you really, really, yes really, dislike sewing all the parts together or sewing all the loose ends in (aaaaargh!!).

So you put your WIP aside for a while and starts with other things.....
And your WIP becomes from a NIP to a WNBF (Will Never Be Finished) and finally a DIATB (Dumped In A Trash Bin).

DIATB

But this week I decided to break this circle of growing pile of NIP's in the closet and finish them all! I hope to show you some almost WNBF's and DIATB's very soon.

Wish me luck! :)

Blogging is hard work.....

Oh noooo

Oh dear.....I saw it's almost 4 months (!!) ago I posted for the last time on my Blog.

What kept me busy all those months? Uhm....well, I made a lot of new products which I can't post here or on my Facebook page because unfortunately there isn't enough sunlight to make good photos. So maybe I get lucky and there will be enough light and otherwise I have to wait untill summer 2015! :)

An other reason why it took so long before I had finally enough courage to write a post is: blogging is hard work!! Oh yes....it is!

Blogging is hard work

I see so many great Blogs! Full of photos of beautiful nature.....and many pictures about cozy cups of hot steaming tea or coffee and last but not least: great delicious looking plates of food!! I don't have photos like that. I'm afraid I'm not a great photocrapher or cook.....and I'm to greedy. When I see delicious food, I dive in and start eating without even thinking of making a photo....until it's to late and the onc-so-delicious-looking plate of food looks like a car crash. And an other missed opportunity to make a nice photo for my Blog ;)

Because English is not my native language, it always takes so much time to write a post. It takes a lot of time and effort and who is going to read this? 

Indeed....Mr. Nobody! :)
