Owner / Creator Cuddle Bear Crochet
Hello, I reacquainted myself with crochet when my daughter at the age of 12 asked me to teach her. We got all the stuff and then she said "It's too much work." Meanwhile I got the bug again and started out creating some dishcloths for a friend of mine who had been very helpful during a difficult time. Needless to say she loved them. She's into natural products that are naturally made. By this time I was hooked.
I decided that since I enjoyed crocheting I would continue and try to sell my products. I am a bit of an entrepreneur so I wanted to find a different way to present my products. I have taught myself new stitches and patterns and learned Tunisian crochet. I've made coasters, dishcloths, potholders and am moving on to place mats, centerpieces and tea cozies. I have also added shopping / beach bags, infinity scarves and am looking into adding napkin rings and some doilies and other decorative ideas.
Each item I create is made with love and the blessings of the Lord. I pray when I crochet that whosoever uses any of my products feels the love that has gone into the piece.
I try to focus on using mostly natural products rather than artificial products and am still looking for a good source of inexpensive hemp yarn! Many of my pieces are 'one of a kind' and I have had a number of them added to gift baskets. These are unique and well made products.
