I am a crafter specializing in sewing, crochet & bead weaving. I recently lost one eye to an accident so it's hard to craft right now. But I can still see well enough to crochet & I have renewed vigor with your projects. Thank you.

I lost one eye and damaged the other from a retinal hemorrhage caused by Coumadi (a powerful blood thinner). I inted to crochet after having to give up my beloved sewing. At 81, I know that makers STILL gotta make, no matter what.

I have made 12 of these, and they sell easy. I found a two pack deal for the yarn. Each cake makes one... the obstacle is getting the faux leather straps. Amazon is constantly out of the type you use. I have made my straps using the Romanian Cord stitch. Love the ease of pattern, and quick results! I also added a D-ring on one strap and I dangle a tassel or charm that I've made. It's a nice 'bling' to enhance the sale.

A few years ago we got 12 feet of snow just in February and we had to shovel our roof a few times but we've only had about 2 feet of snow so far this month. I'm ready for more snow! ❄❄❄
