Hi… I’m Rick. =) Thanks for checking out my little corner of the interwebs!
Missions In Motion
Know of someone going through a rough patch of any kind right now (health, family, job, life, etc)? I’d love to work with you to create a small, customized gift especially for them.
Maybe this personalized gift (beverage cozy, bookmark, coaster, headband, dishcloth, etc) could be a gentle daily reminder that they are not alone, that someone is thinking of them, and that someone cared enough to give them a handmade gift?
Please get in touch & let me know how I can help. These gifts will be offered at no cost – me paying forward all of the blessings I have been given!
~Rick =)
What's this all about?
I started this little website to share my new hobby. I went looking to find something I could do with my hands while watching tv or listening to music. I tried a few different things I either didn’t enjoy or wasn’t very good at. Then I happened on a YouTube video about crochet that promised “everyone can do it!” Though skeptical, I watched a few of those videos, bought a crochet hook and a few skeins of yarn on Amazon… and discovered I could crochet a hot pad! And it was fun and relaxing!
So why start a website?
So now that I realized I do enjoy crocheting, I have a lot of projects that I’m really trying to find good homes for. I hate to see them just piling up in boxes! I didn’t set out to start a business so I thought I’d try something different! I’m going to have a virtual yard sale. lol
Are these items for sale?
Yes. The PROJECTS page will have photo galleries with my crochet projects in them. If you see anything you like, let me know and we’ll work something out. I might even exchange items for iced coffee! Most items will be $6 or under!
How does it work?
Click here on the PROJECTS link or in the menu above to see my completed projects. If you are interested in any of them, just contact me. Send me an email or text and let me know the details of whatever you are interested in and I’ll get back to you with a price before I proceed.
I’ll let you know what I might have available or you can customize any project by choosing colors, sizes, stitch patterns, & more.
Custom projects may take a week or two to complete, depending on my work schedule and how many projects I am currently working on. It might take an additional week if I have to special order yarns or supplies.
So how much will the items cost and how can I pay for them?
Each product page will have a basic range of prices, but I will give you a specific price as soon as I know exactly what you are looking for. If you are interested in a customized project, I’ll get back to you with a price for your approval before I begin.
I’d be glad to exchange items for a Dunkin or Wawa gift card! =) I also have Venmo and will reactivate my PayPal account if that’s easiest for anyone. Or you could always leave cash in an envelope if you choose to pick the items up.
How do I get my items?
There are several options. Porch pick-ups will be available in either Souderton or Sellersville. I can text or email a link with maps of either location. I could also drop them in the mail as well, for a small additional shipping fee.
What else should I know?
All items are handcrafted in a pet-free and smoke-free environment.
For many reasons, including color choices, pricing, durability, and yarn bulk, I prefer to work with acrylic yarns, which suit most projects perfectly. I understand there are some safety issues using acrylics for hot pads but have not found there to be issues in most cases (click on the SAFETY link for more information. I will be glad to work with 100% cotton if you prefer? I currently have limited color options available in cotton.
