Cutest Easter Bunny EVER!! (She'll never make it to Etsy!)

I made the cutest little bunny! Maybe I'm in love with her because she's my first stuffy ever...

I really enjoyed making her and I look forward to making some other stuffed animals!

Miss Bunny is going straight into my daughter's Easter basket...I know she will love it.

What is the story behind my scarf?!

Today, as I was carefully measuring, pinning, and steaming wool squares on a blocking board for my latest project, I wondered if anyone really knew what went into their Etsy buys. I browse through stores all the time and wonder how long a project takes to make and if the sell was really profitable for the creator. Many times, I think, there is very little profit involved.

I can tell you this, my projects aren't made for profit. If that was the case, I'd be selling some items for $200 or more. Between the cost of the yarn (especially wool) and the hours it takes to create, finish, list and package each item, I make close to nothing. What I earn from each sale is the satisfaction of creating an original piece that someone will enjoy and the peace of mind crocheting and creativeness brings me.

I hope you've chosen to buy an item I took the time to blog about. This effort is small for the reward. Someone will see a little of what went into their one of a kind creation and have a story to tell each time someone comments on it.

Please visit my Etsy store and see if there is something you or a friend will love!
