I own a business. I am a travel agent I am unsure if I will quit, it has its perks. I also crochet items to sell on Etsy. I have one cat. I live in florida. I love offshore fishing. I love fishing and beaches. I have gone fishing before but never on a boat. I watch television and movies. I watched Jaws the other night. I got an order for a crochet fish. I get a lot of orders for crocheted blankets.  I considered crocheting other animals. I am new to making the fish. I have close connections with a lot of my clients.  I share things from my personal life with them.
I have a smart car. I have blonde hair and blue eyes. I fished in alaska. I lived there for 3 years. I own my own business. I live in the United States. I own a fishing boat company. I inherited my business from my father. I used to live in Alaska but have moved away. I do not know much about crochet. I saw a bee crochet pattern on Pinterest.
I was able to get that bee crochet pattern created. Check your email for a preview!  Awesome! Thanks for that! I use Etsy a lot too to look for neat items to buy.  Are crochet items the only thing you sell on Etsy?  Yes, at the moment.  I have thought about expanding to knitting, but there are a lot of sellers who do that.  I think I may just expand to more kinds of crocheted animals. I can understand that. I don't know too much about crochet, but I do like to browse online to see what other people have made. What is your best selling crocheted animal? I think my best selling animal is the cat, and patterns for blankets involving cats.  And sometimes blankets for cats! Crocheting and cats seem to go together, the same people like both. That is funny! Crocheting an animal sounds complicated to me. I'm not sure if I'd have the patience for it. How long does it take you to finish an item? That totally depends on the item, and how complicated the pattern is, and whether I have done it before. Animals are hander to finish off because of the edges, everything has to be well seamed. Blankets are easier because they have a natural edging. Do you have any ideas for Alaskan animals that would be good to crochet? That makes sense, with the blankets being easier to make. I wish I was as talented as you! Moose, bears, reindeers are some of the animals that come to mind if you're wondering about popular Alaskan animals. I think a moose would make a really cute crocheted item to sell.  Oh yes, with those big antlers it might be really cute! and maybe more unique than a bear.  That's a really good idea. Wolves, sheeps, and whales are some more Alaskan animal ideas you can use. It's good to expand. Do you think this side hustle can turn into something full time one day? Those sound good also, maybe a pair of a wolf and a mountain sheep.  Or a whale, maybe an orca?  I like unusual ideas.  As for going full time, it all depends.  I do like being a travel agent, because  I love to travel myself. It might be too much pressure to try to live on the Etsy business, then it wouldn't be fun anymore. You have a good point there. I think you are making a smart choice. Plus, a hobby turning into a job probably would no longer be fun anymore. I can relate because running a company myself makes me feel very stressed. Oh, I like the idea of the orca by the way.
