I've Been Feeling Creative, Lately

I've been feeling very creative, lately. I love to knit in the wintertime. I've never knitted anything in the round before and the beanie is my first attempt. It certainly isn't going to be perfect, but good practice. The headband is a quick and easy project. After I finish knitting it, I think I'll add a crocheted flower.

I love to scrapbook! I keep my pages simple....with just a little decoration and colors to coordinate with my pictures. The journaling is the most important part. It tells the story......so,  I leave plenty of room to journal. 

I've been kicking around the idea of opening an Etsy shop to sell pre-made scrapbook pages similar to these. Potential customers matching their photos with the color of my pages could be a drawback. I may have to rethink the idea, but I believe with the right color combinations and pattern selections that someone out there might want one for themselves. And there's also the time thing. Wondering if it's very time consuming on the business end. I have blog friends with Etsy shops.....tell me, what do you think?

I'm very curious!
