Bridal Crochet

Lately I've been working on a lot of new patterns. My goal is to convert my etsy shop into mostly patterns, with a few finished items thrown in whenever I work up something new. I was looking for some inspiration and decided to make a treasury of cool crochet bridal pieces from etsy. None of these are my own work or my designs (and I certainly won't be copying them), but I think they're beautiful and it's nice to see the variety of things that crochet can do.

Wall Hangings

It's true, this post has nothing to do with crochet, but it's crafting and I figure most people I know who are into crochet are also into crafting so here ya go. I spent the last almost year working on an online medical coding and billing class (my husband is a physical therapist and wants to eventually open his own clinic). I finally finished and have a huge backlog of craft and crochet projects that I want to or need to finish. I recently finished a crocheted blanket for my niece's new baby, but I forgot to take pictures of it before I gave it to her so I'm waiting for her to send me one to post. Anyway, here's the first project I finished after the baby blanket.

This project is adapted from one I found at wayward girls crafts. The original post used 12x12 by 1" squares, but I used six 10x10x.5" squares. This way I could just use one piece of scrapbook paper per square and fold it over the sides to finish instead of having to cut more paper to finish the sides and corners. Besides, the biggest piece of foamboard I could find was 20x30x.5" so it worked out well. I had a very empty piece of wall above our master bed, and I think these are perfect for filling in the space. The first one I did (top right corner) ended up a little wrinkly because I didn't do a super great job of smoothing out the modpodge, but I definitely improved as I went. Bonus: they're super lightweight so if they happen to fall on our heads, it won't really hurt. I might make some more to go downstairs in our house.

I've had a few people ask if I'm going to try to sell them, and I'm not. They take too long to make, but they're really simple, so go make some yourself! You just need foamboard, modpodge or some other glue, and scrapbook paper.

Hello, Blogosphere!

I'm Kickin' some Crochet into gear here, trying to get things up and running on Etsy, Facebook, and here on blogger. It's a little overwhelming trying to get everything done. My biggest priority has been getting some products made. So far I've got some adorable hair clips, some elegant fingerless gloves, and a few headbands. It's hard to know when I've got enough stuff together to open up shop! I think I'm just going to have to bite the bullet, post what I've got, and see what happens. Before I can do that, however, I need to get my Etsy shop put together. So far I don't haven't even gotten myself signed up as a seller! Making things is so much more fun than selling them. :) If only I could make things as fast as I can think of them!
