Let's promote my work through a blog?
A few of us were discussing blogs, websites and DIY in town. Many of the DIY websites in general contain blogs that promote the DIY/Crafty items being sold. I tried to blog about topics relevent to my crochet work like other DIY girls on their DIY websites but they never get posted because they bore me. I have ideas, lots of them, there are new things on the horizon and even trunk shows scheduled in the Fall but sorry, I am unable to fill you in on the details. YAWN. It's supposed to help with sales and promote your work but, honestly, it embarrasses me. I would rather post a meaningless and uninteresting list of minutiae than go into minute detail of how I drew inspiraion to create this or that hat or scarf and how that tied into my weekend trip to blah blah and booboo and bore bore and hey buy it cause it's now up and ready for purchase. Ick.
I don't work from a studio, if I had a studio I would spend my time organizing and re-organizing. Instead all items are individually packaged and stored in climate controlled storage in plastic bins (all contents well catalogued). I work in a room we call the Record Room. It has a record player, records, a few books and a tv from the 60's. It is smoke free, pet free and all other odor free and dust free. I am inspired by all that is not crochet or yarn. The item I made for you was done in the Record Room over a weekend or during time off from work like say 4th of July or Xmas break. I work alone, I work non-stop and then I photograph what I crochet in the Record Room then uploaded it. I think you can see the records in the background.
I may have procured models this year, not sure(fingers crossed), otherwise it's the dressmakers model I use for sewing that wears all the scarves.
I only use two brands of yarn, I like consistency, I am a perfectionist, I like to make durable, long lasting items and this all tends to slow the process down but what you get is something I have made to last more than a season. I appreciate every order and they all ship the day of if not ASAP the next morning. That's that.
