As much as I loooooove to crochet, I just need to try something different to keep the excitement! With that being said, this week, I plan to go to the thrift store to see what I can find. I intend to find some tight stuff to "upcycle". For those of you who are saying to yourself "what is upcycle?"; basically you take something old (or new), and make it into something else (or something different), by putting your own creative spin on it!
Most likely, whatever I decide to use, will heavily incorporate crocheting cuz I'm not that tight at sewing yet lol. I have a couple dresses, sweaters, and jeans here at home already that I intend to use. I also wanna find some fly blazers and what not for the fellaz and maybe put my crazy little touch on them (I dunno, we'll see). I have soooooo many ideas right now, I just need to calm down and take it one step at a time lol. But I will surely show you all what I get, and I will DEFINITELY show you the finished products! Wish me luck!!!!

1 down a bunch to go!
As spoken about in my last post, I have been trying to come up with ways to attract a male clientele. So lately I have been up items that may appeal to "fashionably bold men", so far, this tie is one of the things I have come up with! I have gotten pretty positive feedback on this item. So with that being said, I will be making a few more in various color combinations to see how they sell.
In addition, I am working on some sort of vest or sweater (not sure what it's gonna be yet) for a man. I hope it comes out well.
As always, I will show you all the end result when I'm done.
Oh, and as always, any ideas are more than welcome.

Thinking outside MY box!
I think I may have created a box and stuffed myself right in it! So now, I am trying to get out of it. I have noticed that almost all of my items with the exception of a few hats , all cater to women. I have increasingly been having men inquire about my items. Many have expressed that the wish i'd make something for men.
I guess I have been making things for women because I AM a woman, and I feel more comfortable going that route because I'd like to think I know what women like.
But now it is time for me to push myself and see if I can come up with some nice things for the fellazzz!!!!!!!! I do not want to limit myself any longer.
I'd love feed back from some men letting me know what kind of things I should make that would likely appeal to men (hats I already know), so try to come with something else (unless you are thinking of a specific style of hats).
Check back soon, I hope to have a few things for men up very shortly! Wish me luck in my experimentation lol! :-D
