Minions on Etsy!

My little minions are now available on Etsy too!
They made a long way, but finally here they are :)

Crochet minion

Today I finished another order. This little and cute minion was shipped home. I hope he will be loved and taken good care of :)
Have a safe trip, little guy!

OrangeFrau Etsy shop

I finally started working on my Etsy shop.
It's all new for me meanwhile, but I hope I will be a pro soon enough :)
You can find there the pattern for Sally, a cute colorful alien. He is very cheerful and bright. Perfect for hugs!
I created him using acrylic yarn, stuffing, felt and of course a hook.
What do you think of him?

Getting bigger

Fiverr stuff is going pretty well. Since my previous post I've created a couple of new gigs. The most popular one is crocheted minion with a key ring. I've sold about 30 of those little guys and I'm planning on adding more gigs.
Many orders is a good thing, but having a full-time job prevents me from doing something else besides the orders. So for meanwhile I'm only collecting the ideas of small crochet projects and hopefully one day I will have enough time to fulfill all of my crochet dreams :)

Here's a picture of some of my little crochet creations!

 

Trying Fiverr

I was thinking of trying something easy to launch the sale of my crafts. I know there are plenty of different sites for handmade gifts, one of them is Etsy. But I decided to start with Fiverr since it is easy to publish and the site is pretty enjoyable :)

So my first two crochet gigs are Keyholder Owlets and Little Snowmen. I think they can make really nice gifts for family and friends.

I'm learning how to take high quality pictures of the products, which turned out to be a harder task than I thought :) Besides, I tried  to shoot a short video about my owlets. Hopefully it will help me boost my sales!

I also realized I need a good camera, since it awkward to publish iPhone pictures and videos. Gonna work on that.

New start

2014 is approaching and I'm starting a new blog to share my new crochet toys and gifts with you, people around the world.

My name is Margarita. I was born in Moscow, and I live in Israel for about 5 years now. I'm married + 3 chinchillas :)

Crochet is my hobby. I've been crocheting for about 2 years now and I'm really enjoying the process. Although I'm working more than 9 hours 5 days a week, I still like to crochet when I come back home. I'm creating cute amigurumi (small stuffed crochet animals) and handmade gifts for children and adults. So I don't have any problems with choosing gifts when someone's special event is approaching :)

So welcome to my blog, I hope you will enjoy it!

Best,

Margarita
