I've Been Struck by Craft Brain... Again

Hello, I meant to do a work-in-progress post first, but I finished the items I was working on, so I'll just talk about those items, and maybe some ideas for future projects.
First off, a little insight into how I work; when I get into something, it tends to consume my mind, as of late, my mind is consumed with crocheting. Basically, if I'm not running errands, or doing household chores, I'm sat on my bed, listening to Netflix, or an audiobook, and crocheting my fingers off.

Yes, this started because of the Etsy shop I opened, but really, the shop gives me an excuse to get back into crocheting. I love being able to create something beautiful, or cute, with my bare hands. It also seems to help with my anxiety.

Anyway, the reason it's taken me so long to make a post here, is that I've been busy making a number of small amigurumi critters, most of which will likely not be going up on my Etsy shop, because they just didn't turn out the way I'd hoped.

I've made several tiny bunnies, a few cats (one of which will be available soon), and a little ladybug. I think all but one of the bunnies, were done freestyle, no patterns, just a vague idea in my head, that grows and grows and grows, until I have no choice but to attempt making it.

I have also made a few baby booties and headbands, since I first started this post several weeks ago.

As I stated above, when I get an idea in my head, it tends to consume my every thought; not long after I started wring this post, a new idea grabbed hold of me. This one involving jewelry. Since I already had a supply of beads, and earring findings, I started fiddling around with things. When I wasn't satisfied with what I had made, I bought some different things, and proceeded to get lost in my newest project.
Through much trial and error, I think I am happy with what I've made so far, a few earrings and pendants.
I'm still in this jewelry making head-space though, I want to make bracelets too, actually I did make a few, but I am not sure if they are good enough to add to my shop. I would like to get a few different kinds of supplies to try out, and that is what is currently consuming my mind.

I don't know when I'll be able to make another post here, but hopefully it won't be too long.


Thank you for reading, have a wonderful day/evening/night wherever you are in the world.
