My maternal grandmother taught me the basics of crocheting, and through involvement in t...he Duncannon Cloverleaf 4-H Club, I expanded my knowledge and experience. My mother also played a large part in teaching me to quilt and sew and served as a 4-H project leader as well. Through the years, I've enjoyed dabbling in various crafts, most recently picking up making personalized wire hangers. Addit
ionally, I enjoy canning and have been asked to make a few specialized orders as well. Recently married, my husband's cousin shared her talent with us as our engagement and wedding photographer, as she is starting her own photography business (dandelionJOYphotography). Although we were her first engagement/wedding, she has expanded her repertoire to include newborns/kids/families. At the same time, a lot of my peers are having babies of their own have their children photographed in ADORABLE animal hats. Both of these things, combined with Pinterest, led me to offer to make crocheted infant hats/accessories for dandelionJOYphotography photo props (I always am looking for a good excuse to crochet!). As soon as I finished the first two hats (frog and owl), I received a lot of positive feedback, and so I've decided to run with it! In the past, I've also made personalized, framed crochet "name" doilies as wedding presents, and have had a few requested to make as well.
