Etsy Changes

So, it has been brought to my attention that I offer a very....wide....variety of merchandise and I should split the jewelry and fiber pieces into two different shops.

I actually kind of like this idea!  I don't think I'll be able to really open the second shop until after I get back to the states, but I am going to work on setting it up!  Jewelry will still be at Kypress Designs, however the crocheted pieces (scarves, hats, adult humor pieces) will be moved to another page.

BUT I NEED YOUR HELP!!!

I have a poll pinned to the top of Kypress Designs to help pick the new page name, but you can answer here as well.  Should I go with "Kypress Fiber Arts" or "Crochet by Kypress" or do you have another suggestion altogether?  Let me know.


Update: Karissa drew me a new logo/avatar after it was decided that the crochet and few sewing pieces would be renamed "Kypress Fiber Arts".  I also am working on posting PawPaw's Bears as well!  Keep an eye out for those.  (Or should those go to even another page?)

Happy 2018!!!

It's a new year! Another year has passed and I still failed to follow through with my statement about blogging. I'm sorry. I'm a horrible business person.
I love to craft and I do post a lot on Facebook, but it's really mostly just resharing other items or posts from other pages.
Or commenting on how crazy my kids and life is.

But this year HAS to be different.  Something's got to give.

Also, I'm going to Japan at the end of the month.  All by myself. I'm even traveling from Indianapolis to Chicago O'hare all by myself.

I've never been out of the midwest, let alone the country or flown on a plane as long as I can remember.  This is a big leap!

But I do this for friends that are living over there. They just had baby number 3, an adorable little brother for their 4 and 2 year old girls.  They are on mom's work visa, though, and she's gotta get back to teaching toddlers English!  So I'm going to help with that transition.

Did I mention I'm going for a month? Yeah, one month away from my own children, out of the country.  I'm a bit nervous about that.  I think I might even be more nervous about being away from them for a month than the whole traveling to a foreign country by myself.

I've been trying to learn Japanese, but I'm not picking it up as fast or coherently as I need to be. And I have a pretty decent layover in China both ways too.

But I'll be okay.

I have to be.

Because this year will be different.

Messy Bun Beanies

Well, I finally bit the bullet and made a listing for the messy bun beanies, hats, whatever you want to call them.  I'd had enough requests that I made one.
You can find them on both the Storenvy and the Etsy sites for $15, plus shipping!
