Etsy is back

   Last year I had closed my Etsy shop to try other online selling options. It did not work out as I had hoped, so I am back on Etsy. My shop on Etsy is Nanette Crochet. I also have a Facebook page where I have more items in the photo albums.

   This year the only events I am sure I will be at are the Flavor Of Federal Way in my home town of Federal Way Washington this August and The Meeker Holiday Bazaar at Meeker Middle School in NE Tacoma Washington this November.

Pokemon Hats

 I have been making Pokemon beanies for the past few months. People seem to like them so far. I sold a Diglet, a Jigglypuff, an Oddish, a Togepi and a Wooper so far. I just finished the new Chingling last night (I had fun and put a jingle bell in the top yellow button between the ribbons). I have  Shupppet, Jigglypuff, and Chikorita listed in my Etsy shop. Chingling and Torchic are available from my Facebook page: Nanette Crochet .

Valentine's Day!

For Valentines Day, I am offering gift boxes with the purchase of Jigglypuff or Wooper from my Nanette Crochet on Etsy. Just mark the purchase as a gift and I will include the box and tissue paper at no extra cost. Orders must be placed by February 4th for Valentines delivery in the gift boxes. Here are pics of the Pokemon and the boxes

New Year, New Decade, New Blog

   I am going to try to make a blog post at least once a month from now on.
For this first post of the year I'd like to tell you all what I've been up to.

   I have been working on cleaning up my craft room and getting it organized. I found a bunch of great deals on yarn last year and had to figure out a way to put everything away while still being able to find things.
Before pics

 It's taken me all month, but I'm almost done.
