Happily Handmade

Hey Bloggers!! It's been a while, I know. I'm back now and the topic for today is "happily handmade". Why is "hand made" so special to me? It's because I have yet to meet (virtually or otherwise) an artisan/crafter that creates because they "have to". To me, this makes handmade so much more special. There are no aweful 8, 10, or 12 hour shifts on hard concrete floors running machinery that mass produces the items we make. No assembly line where you put in your pieces of the puzzle and send the rest down to the next person. Each and every minute that goes into handmade items is done with love, care, and passion. Each and every artisan I have encountered loves what they do. While many still have to work those full or part time jobs to make ends meet, they still find the time to craft their OOAK items, and put them out there for the rest of the world to enjoy. That being said, I hope everyone enjoys today's spotlight!! PiratePixieCrew makes some of "the most stylin'" knitted and crocheted items I've ever encountered!! I absolutely adore her work and I know you will too!!!




Bye for now. Please follow along for new spotlights. C ya' on the net peeps!!
