Blue Skies Ahead

 I am new to the blogging thing, but I catch on quick, so WATCH OUT! (lol)

My Name- I came up with this after looking through my moleskine notebook from my college capstone project. I thought it was lost until a few weeks ago. I had a creative burst that I recorded in that journal and I flipped out when I could not find it. I was journaling constantly, and any idea that came to mind during that year was in one of 2 books. I am sure glad I found that one! I went to school for graphic design, and I have my BA. I do design parttime, but I felt I needed another outlet to get me off the computer. (I am one to make many hobbies) After looking through my recently found journal, I found it! and with the help of etsy.com, ForeverFruitful was born! I sell handmade items there. Right now it is crochet/knit items and jewelry. More to come! Whew!

I decided to call the shop ForeverFruitful because I want to make my place in the world as a creative who is constantly growing and producing fruit. I want my creative ideas and endeavors  to live, and not die in the pages of old moleskine notebooks....

Winter Baby!

Hello!, I am sitting here, in my nice warm apartment while outside the weather has decided to be cold, wet, and slippery. Yes, the northeast is having a storm! I am sort of excited though because I am featured in an accessories showcase all day today! check it out at etsy.com.

I made this set of cute baby booties and a hat for a friend of mine...She will be having a girl next month, and what a great way to bring her home in handmade style? She loved them of course, (I used two of her favorite colors) and I can not wait to see her baby next month!

On this cold wintery day, I need to do something, but I am not sure what to make... should I do jewelry, hats, more baby stuff, something new?
I am not sure what to do yet, I am till enjoying my yummy cornmeal porridge.

Till next time...

Camo-Crazy!

This weekend, I was sitting home with a pinched nerve in my neck, waiting for my muscle spasm to STOP HURTING, and I decided that I would try to get my mind off things. I picked up my crochet hook and didn't look back. I have been in the mood for texture, so I decided to revisit the basketweave stitch. I wanted to make a hat for myself, and I have always liked that stitch, as well as popcorn, and puff stitch for texture. So, I made this hat over the past weekend.

This  was a prototype, so the size was a bit off... I thought to myself, "Yeah, make it big, so I can wear it longer..."( I have locs and my hair is growing me out of hats these days) Well, I made a bit too big! I can still wear it, (and I will) but I wanted it to be a bit smaller. 

I couldn't just leave it alone... I finished that hat, and started on the camo one. This one is going well, just the size I wanted. So now I am camo crazy, and I will probably finish that one tomorrow.
