Crochet Slippers

As I only have four weeks of funding left I'm busy writing up my last two chapters. Everything is coming together but it is hard work, half of me wants it to be over and the other half is sad because it will be. It makes dull blog posts though so that's why I haven't posted in a while.

To combat the stress I've been doing a lot of crochet in the evening and have been practicing making slippers. These are so much fun to make especially thinking about all the different colours and buttons I can use. I've also been writing down some themes I could use as inspiration.
I've had some interest from friends so I'm thinking of opening an Etsy store in few months as a way to sell them to people, nothing serious or pricey just as a way to make back money for the resources plus it might be fun.

 

I've been exploring some perspectives surrounding running a handmade enterprise and the worth of handmade items within my thesis and I think it is really interesting. I've just discovered this amazing blog post by Twinkie Chan discussing some of her opinions surrounding this topic.
