Drumroll Please...

I am pleased to announce that my Etsy shop is now OPEN!!! [[hurrah!]] It feels like it's been a long time coming, and I still have managed to only have two listings, but be not dismayed for I have more items on the way! [[For example I am currently finishing up some knitted coffee sleeves.]] The name of the shop is Fāyán Knits. Fāyán means "speak" in Mandarin. I decided on it after reading Proverbs 31:8 [[Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.]] That is exactly what I want to use the funds from this shop to do. I am just so excited that this day has come!

So please go take a look at it [[there is a link at the top of this page]]. I know there's not much to see right now, but keep an eye on it because I have more coming.

I am currently searching for more ideas for products, so if you have any ideas, please send them my way! [[jspencer2303@gmail.com]]

So It's a Hedgehog...

I don't know about you, but I'm a pretty cheap person. Not with all things...usually just with things that I know I can make myself. For example, hats...scarves...pin cushions...

Yes. Pin cushions. I am well aware that they are all of $3 to purchase at a store. And $3 is not that much money. I can afford to spend $3. But really...who wants a generic tomato shaped thing that everyone has? Not me. So, when I found this pattern online, I just had to make one. I took a little creative license because I wanted to just use what I had laying around the house instead of having to go buy materials [[because then that kind of defeats my whole purpose...]] So, yes. Mine doesn't look exactly like the original, but that [[I think]] is what makes her so cute! And now I have a unique way to store my pins. =]
