Hey everyone,
so I opened up a shop here and figure I might as well take the time to introduce myself

My name is Petra and I've been crafting all my life it seems. I primarily crochet to my hearts desire, but I also wood burn when the mood hits.
I'm a single mom of 4 boys (19,17,13 and

yes I happily contributed to the male population

My youngest was born with a rare genetic disorder that caused some brain damage - though you can't tell if you were to see him but when you get to know him more you'll notice his delay BUT that doesn't stop this kid from living.. anywho he underwent several liver transplants to save his life (last on was Jan 2011) and is now doing amazing - but before I go blabbering about his amazing will to live - its because of those reasons I can't work out of the home

as a trained counselor. So I thought I would do the thing I know how to do best - crochet, wood burn and crafts of all kinds

I did manage to open a brick and mortar store in my town helping 40 other local Artists sell their work and an Art Center hoping other people get excited about creating! The advantage is I can still take care of my son since well I am my own boss... and who doesn't like to calling the shots?

Anywho, since my son is much better these days - and I am still the only breadwinner - le sigh - I am working a lot harder these days - so that's my story...
While I crochet all the time the majority of items are made to order because sometimes sell as soon as I show a picture

but I may even still have them in stock.. but you know just in case I sell them at my own store - ya never know

I listed a few things tonight.. and will continue do to more when I'm not so sleepy
