Random Facts About You?

My mother in law taught me how to crochet when I had mono. I had nothing to do all day for a month but watch the History channel and crochet.

I can speak French because I used to live in Quebec Canada. I love the language.

I try to recycle anything and everything. While at college...I go on a weekly dumpster dive. People throw away the coolest things!



What got you started crafting?

When I was in kindergarten, all I wanted to do was draw.
I colored with markers, crayons, chalk...anything became a work of art.
My dream was to become an artist, so my parents set me up with an art class. I learn so much, but soon realized that I had an equal love for children.
I am currently studying childcare at college, but crafting is close to my heart. Every chance I get to relax, you can find me curled up on my bed with a crochet hook.
I draw on all my homework and my teachers don't mind at all.
Being creative helps me get through every day.



What is your source of inspiration?

I love following other blogs and reading about everyone's little adventures.
I don't copy other's ideas.
I take the color scheme, main idea, or pattern and make it my own.

I always carry a notebook around with me and draw things in it when I see something really inspiring. I have to....or else I'll forget.



What have you made recently?

I've recently made a bunch of cute headbands that I'm hoping to get up in the shop.
I've also crocheted a blanket for my fiancee, and some cute pot holders for his apartment.





Where do you sell your crafts presently?

I tried Etsy for a while, but I could never figure out how to actually get paid for my products.
Yes...I sold things and never got paid for them. Lamesauce...I know...

So I decided to start another blog, besides Miss Yellow Shoes, and use that as a means to sell my stuff.
While in school, my stock is low but I can normally make time to make a little something something.

I've been a little successful in making laundry money with my profits.



Why are handmade crafts important to you?

Why? Because a machine cranking out 200 mittens an hour can't put love in every stitch.

Nuff said.
