Describe your business:
I run a trendy crochet accessories boutique. I handcraft each item that I sell and I absolutely love what I do. I am working hard to keep up with the latest trends and also offering the best quality work. My main focus is on women's crochet accessories but I do offer custom orders.
Where does your inspiration for this business come from?
Everywhere! I started with wanting to make amazing things for my friends, family and myself to wear and then started seeing the wonderful trends in fashion for items like fingerless gloves and scarves. Seeing my work online or out in the public makes me want to make even more. The greatest compliment I have received was from an autistic boy who loves his new hat so much he wore it in the middle of a heat wave last summer.
What has been your greatest achievement thus far?
I was recently featured in a two page spread in Inspired Crochet magazine. It explained a bit about myself and my story. I was very honoured to see the amazing response that came out of the feature as well. It’s always nice to hear "I read all about you and love your work!" You can find a copy of the article in their April 2013 issue at www.inspiredcrochet.com
What’s your advice for someone who is just starting out?
Keep with it! If you believe in what you do and if you LOVE what you do then all things are possible and the sky really is the limit!
