Well welcome to our page. This has been a long time in the waiting but here we finally are! We are a mother daughter team and I love working with my mom. She taught me how to crochet when I was 5 and since then I have been working on and off. I got out of blankets and pot holders into hats and other items this past November while pregnant with my youngest son. My mom has made so many things for my friends and myself growing up that with the economy the way it is we turned those ideas into a small business. I love what I do it is a relaxing thing and I love seeing it all come together. We sell finished items and patterns and I will attach a pattern for you all for free it is the basic elf hat pattern..... stay tuned to our blog to see our new items and please feel free to pass along your ideas. We offer a few discounts refer a friend and with their purchase tell them to leave your name and receive 15% off your next order, a multiple item discount, and a photographer special with 25% off your total purchase all we ask for is a link to a picture so that we may use it on our business page.... 1 discount per order.....we are always looking for new  photographers to work with.... feel free to message me with any questions :)
