Hey guys! I am here again! Cris at your service, Lol! Today, let me share to all of you m journey bein a crochter, how i started and becie motivated in doing business crochet! Well, I am proud crocheter from Gensan, 25 years of age. I start learning crochet accidentally, because it was an activity during elementary days 馃槄. It was a group activity in school, Girl Scout, and it is a challenge for every group that atleast to make a crochet bell for a christmas tree!
At first, I don't like it, as I don't have enought patience doing some stitches, that it makes me feel so sleepy馃槳. But then, everyday pass, I am learning and started to love doing crochet, as I can make finished products 馃槏.
Then I started selling my finished project, but it was rejected by many because they find it not so attractive 馃槶. Then thats the end of my day crocheting!
