Hello!!! Welcome to my blog! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and are ready to jump into 2012 with a happy, healthy attitude! I know I am!! Let me introduce myself: My name is Andrea. I am married to my best friend Mike, we have a beautiful baby boy named Cameron and two dogs, Chloe and Santo. I am a dance instructor and full time mom. I absolutely love to crochet and knit and have started to come up with my own patterns! I am self taught in crochet, but I get lots of advice from the best crocheter I know, my mother! I learned how to knit in college and had my skills refined by my grandmother, who is incredible! I have made all kinds of things from scarves, hats, and blankets, to stuffed animals and decorations! I have even sent two of my stuffed animals to be included in a gift basket that was being put together for Alicia Keys' new son, Egypt. That is what jump started my idea of forming my own company and selling the stuffed animals that I make. As soon as I figure this whole blog thing out...I will begin posting pictures of all of my cute animals and new projects for everyone to see (and if you would like, you can purchase as well! :) ) Please follow me, send my link to all your friends and get ready for some fun creations!!!
The first thing I am going to post is my newest creation: a Beer Koozie Mitten!! A friend sent me the link for a version of this that is being sold in Urban Outfitters and she asked if I would be able to figure it out. An hour and a half later, I totally made one!! Now, my friends all want one for when they go ice fishing this year. This one is made in a camo yarn, but I could do any color! Let me know if you want to order one! Unfortunately, I have not been able to write out a pattern that makes much sense....if I figure it out, I will post it! Also, I am in the process of setting up an etsy account where you can purchase any of my creations! I will blog it as soon as I have it finally set up!!
Yea for blogs and for new years!! Looking forward to sharing with everyone!!
Andrea
Can't wait to see the Beer Koozie Mitten!
