Stuck in a rut?
So my questions are, how do I emphasize that I offer more than just baby stuff? should I focus on putting some more of my home decor/gift bag items up? or should I just face it that my niche is baby stuff and go with it?

Newest Crochet Bib

I'm really proud of the edging I made. I was looking up edgings to do and started one, but I didn't like it. So I decided to do my own type of edge.
The idea for it was born out of a mistake! (Aren't all great discoveries that way?). I didn't want to bulk up the neckline of the bib, so when I crocheted around with the green, I just slip-stitched. What I didn't realize was that when I went to put the white around, the slip stitches caused a ridge of green to appear on the back of the bib and that made the white stitches stick straight up. I wish I had taken a picture. It looked horrible. So, this edge was created by double crocheting with tan in the back ridge area behind the white single crochet and then single crocheting in the white single crochet. You do this all with the wrong side of the work facing you. I think I will write up a pattern for it in pattern format and maybe sell it. :) You all get a free bonus for reading my blog!

Projects Galore
The next project I'm working on finishing is a Jean Rag Quilt made from old jeans. I found some navy blue fabric at the thrift store that I'm going to use for the back. I'm excited to see how this turns out and I'm hoping it will sell!
I'm also working on some Easter themed loveys for babies. I got a great pattern off the Lion Brand Yarn website: Eco Bunny Blanket. But, I'm just using some Bernat Softee Baby I had in pink. I started making the bunny with a different yarn, and boy if it isn't the bunny from hell...I'll post pictures when I can.

Bib Misfortune
This morning, I was looking for the bibs we had taken outside and I couldn't find them anywhere. I was freaking out running frantic through the house. (Okay, it wasn't that bad.) I finally found them...in my new workspace where they belong! Go figure.

New Work Space


Here are some pictures of before moving all my stuff down and after I put all my junk down there. I still have lots of work to do organizing. Is it all going to fit?!
I had no idea I had so many supplies and projects. I think I've overextended myself on projects, but I am constantly coming up with new ideas for what I want to do.
Got any handy organizing tips?
