Don’t Call It A Comeback!…Until February.

Hello!  I just wanted to inform all 10 of my readers about what’s going to be going on with Lottie Hop over the next couple of weeks.  As you may have noticed, I ditched the Big Cartel store and have moved over to Etsy.  It was a hard decision, but ultimately I think that’s where you’ll be able to find Lottie Hop products for awhile, besides in person.  I’m working on lots of new stuff, and I think you’ll all be pleasantly surprised with what I’ve come up with.  I’m really excited about the new direction the store is taking, … Continue reading

Where is Lottie Hop??

Hi!  I’ve been a little busy lately!  I’ve been furiously crocheting my hands off trying to keep up with custom orders, store stock (sadly overdue) and craft show stock.  I’m finding it’s a real challenge following your heart, making and selling your art and keeping up with all of your day to day stuff (like raising a baby!). I’m happy to announce that I have been part of the North Park Independent Bazar twice now, and it’s going well.  I also learned that I have been accepted to sell my Lottie Hop line at the San Diego Crafters for the … Continue reading

I’m burried in yarn!

Hello all!  Sorry to be silent the past couple days!  I’m up to my ears in orders, and unfortunately much of the stock from the web store has sold out, yipes!  Fantastic for me, bad for you, I know.  Bear with me though, more will be up soon.  Plus, I’ll be out amongst the general public at the North Park Independent Bazaar most weekends through the end of the holiday season.  And, have you seen??? Happy Handmade Holidays! This is the event I created on facebook to promote artists who make and sell their own handmade goods.  I hope everyone … Continue reading

My whole life is one big thrift

I try to only thrift on Thursdays…but it’s become impossible!  I find so many good things, and it’s gotten to the point where I think I’m missing out on things if I don’t go.  I don’t always come away with anything, but this week there’s been a deluge of great stuff coming at me!  Tuesday I went to Baras Thrift Store and Revivals Resale and Consignment.  Baras had kids clothes on sale for 10 cents apiece!  I bought Char some really cute stuff, and since she just grew out of four pairs of jammies, it was a good thing I … Continue reading
