Soft hats!!
I have been really hard at work making hats for the craft fair I am doing next weekend. At the last fair I did I had a number of requests for adult and toddler sized hats made from the super soft yarn (Bernat, it's kind of like chenille but much much easier to work with). These are the result of about three or four days of crocheting. Now I am onto making more child sized hats to sell!

Something different...
I was given a bunch of plastic canvas and had a moment of inspiration to make some boxes to sell. I am calling them "Tooth Fairy Boxes" because they are the perfect size for leaving a tooth for the fairy to collect and finding some treasure in in the morning!

Doll hats :)
My younger daughter, age 11 is very into the American Girl books, and has a few dolls that are the same size as the American Girl dolls. She wanted a hat for her doll, and so I figured out how to make them the right size. I made a few for her dolls, then I started using up some of the little bits of yarn I have to make a bunch of doll hats. (It was fun!)
Then I made a bunch of matching sets so that my daughter and her dolls could match... also lots of fun!!

Hats!!!! lots of hats!!!
Most of what I have to sell are hats. Lots of hats. Big ones, small ones, hats of varying styles and colors. Hats that have matching scarves and hats that have matching doll hats. Hats hats hats. I love coming up with the styles and the color combinations, and I love seeing people enjoy them! Here are a few pictures of hats that I have made (just a very small sample!)
Crafter on a Mission
Hi there! Welcome to my blog!
A little about "Crafter on a Mission"...
In September of 2013 I went on my first mission trip. A group of us went to Guatemala, to the very small town of Cunen to finish work on a health clinic and to provide health care to the Mayan people in the area. I was part of the team that went into neighboring villages to provide health clinics, I sorted meds and filled prescriptions and prayed with some wonderful, faithful people. I came home determined to continue to somehow help the people that had won a big piece of my heart.
So that explains the "on a Mission"...what's with the "Crafter" part of the title of this blog?
After I got home my youngest child asked me to make her a hat. I had crocheted a little off and on for decades, but never more than one thing at a time or so. I made her a hat and then it occurred to me that I could make more... I could even make a bunch and sell them to help the people of Guatemala! I made bunches of hats, some scarves, doll hats, headbands and various other stuff and did a few craft fairs and a mission was born! A bunch of people asked if I had a website with some pictures of what I had made... well, here it is!!
All proceeds from what I sell are being set aside to fund either another mission trip to Guatemala with http://www.saludypaz.org/ (the organization I went with) or, if I am unable to go on another trip soon, to donate to a group going on a trip with the same organization. This is a great organization that has made a huge difference in the Mayan people.
I will be posting pictures of some of the things I have made, and will be happy to take orders or sell things that I have in stock. I will also post info on any craft fairs I will be selling at.
Thanks for checking out my blog!!!
