Guest Post: Mr & Mrs Toews

I'm so excited to having people guest post on my blog this month. I'm really trying to be a better blogger to sponsor. I thought the summer would be a slower time for me but it has turned out to be the opposite. One of the things that I have been doing lately is the Cara Boxes. I love it because I get to meet 2 amazing bloggers each month.
I have gotten to know Erin this month, and absolutely love her blog. I love how she and her husband both blog about this. My hubs was suppose to blog about spring training this year. He forgot. :( Also I just learned to crochet and trying to make different fun things.
    Hey all! My name is Erin and I blog with my husband over at Mr. & Mrs. Toews. We started the blog to update our friends & family on our life & adventures. Now although we do post life updates, there are also craft tutorials, recipes, etc.   Jessa sent me an awesome Cara Box this month. What a sweet lady! It has been fun to get to know Jessa through this Cara Box experience. She even asked me to post and let you all know about my crochet shop.
I recently opened an Etsy shop called CrochetToews (name is a work in progress). In the shop I sell items that I have crocheted - obviously. The items I crochet most often are winter hats & beanies.
  My mom taught me to crochet when I was just a kid. She had to reach me again in middle school... then again in high school. Lol. Mostly I could only crochet in a straight line and made scarves - sometimes simple blankets. I first started crocheting hats when I was in college. The RA of my dorm had taught a group of us to make hats so we could crochet all together and then give the hats to children in a nearby cancer hospital. What an awesome reason to learn something new! Since learning to make hats, I have expanded my skills. I make more complex blankets, hats, washcloths, & stuffed animals. I am always looking for something new to try.
 
  I began selling hats on Facebook and mostly my college friends would buy them from me. Then whenthere were a few classmates wearing my hats, a local coffee shop started selling a few. Now that I am now graduated and have a few fans, I decided to make an Etsy shop to grow my business a bit.
While I do have a small number of items stocked and ready to sell, most of my business comes from custom orders, mostly baby hats. So head on over to my store. I hop you see something you like. And if not, feel free to put in a request for a custom order and we'll try to work something out.
Thanks for reading! Please visit my blog & post comments so I can get to know you a bit as well.
