Restocking, and Shop Purpose Update

I've been busy crocheting and restocking the shop since the Christmas rush: Etsy Shop

I used the proceeds from this shop for many years to help my sister with her cancer treatment expenses.  Sadly, she passed away in October 2013.  I closed the shop for a while after that, but I found I missed crocheting.  So I've been back for a year or so, and now use the proceeds to purchase toys to donate to a local charity for their annual Toy Pantry event.  I have a website called Toy Deals for Charity where I show the toys and deals I have gotten.  Hope you'll stop by to visit.

Sale items! All are made and ready to ship!

Off subject...Room Makeover!

I took some time off to re-do my daughter's bedroom while she's away at college.  We set a deadline of Spring Break to get it done, and I'm happy to report we made it!  Our daughter came up with the color scheme - Navy, Lime Green and White - and I was excited to get going!

*****BEFORE*****

I didn't take many before pictures because it was a typical messy teenager room, and I didn't think I had the energy to clean it up just for "before" pictures!  The walls were a light blue, and there were tan and brown stripes painted around the top of the room.  It looked pretty neat once upon a time.

*****AFTER*****

We went with a pretty navy blue on the walls, and we used lime green, white and grey as accent colors.  

She used to have a queen bed, but we went with two twin beds in an L-shape.  This allows us to configure the beds however we need them for our guests.  It also makes a cool lounging space when our daughter is home from school.

I tried my hand at a little do-it-yourself canvas art.  I think it turned out "OK".  Our daughter liked it, and that's what counts. 

Now back to crocheting!   My Etsy Shop
