Friday Finds

Today, I am featuring my boyfriend's mom's shop., Donna's Hobby. She is the person who taught me to crochet! I wouldn't be here crocheting for you all if it weren't for her. She inspired me and look where I am now! :]

She makes the most adorable blankets, fringe blankets, and scarves. Her blankets are great for photography props and her scarves are WONDERFUL and warm especially for winter! Everything she makes is extremely reasonable in price.

Please go check her out and if you do, you can get an EXTRA entry into my giveaway. Scroll down a little bit and add a comment on the giveaway post with what you like best in her shop. That will give you one extra entry! Please do not comment on this post with what you would like best. The comments on this post will not be counted towards the giveaway entries. What are you waiting for! Check out Donna's Hobby!

Lovebycc now open on Etsy

This week has been so incredibly busy. I really wanted to start my Etsy shop and I thought I'd be okay to do that so I ended up listing three items on the 10th (Sunday). I didn't realize (until someone on the forums told me) that three items is NOTHING, it is not even a shop. Here are the items:

A purse:


A red neck warmer:


A white neck warmer:


So I started to work on more items until I got a conversation from someone. A PHOTOGRAPHER. She said that if I make her baby items, that she will get model babies and take free pictures for me (of course she is going to buy the first items so I know it isn't a scam). I was sooooo excited that I busted out my hook and yarn, got some patterns, and went to work. This is what I've been doing the last few days:






She got the first two hats yesterday and has a photo shoot on Wednesday with a baby. Hopefully she will get the other two things by then so she can use them all. I can't wait to see the photos!

In the meantime, I am working on an adorable red purse. I hope to have it done by this weekend so I can post it. I need to make a few other things. I was thinking about a hat, some fingerless gloves, and maybe another neckwarmer (but a different kind). I NEED TO MAKE MYSELF A STORE! :P (which is more than 3 items)
