Now then, an explanation behind the blog title! No - there's not going to be a new addition to the family (not that I'm aware of!). But I'm doing a couple of craft fairs in the next couple of weeks and the first one is a baby & toddler fair, so I got busy with the hook & wool and crocheted up a few 'baby' things. They are sooooo cute! And I've really enjoyed doing them. The biggest problem is coming up with prices for them! I'm always the same - I make quite a few cards and crocheted things to order for people, but I have real difficulty in pricing things. It's so hard. You can't really charge for all the time you take to make something (goodness knows how much the price would be then lol!), and it's trying to find a balance between the cost of materials and a fair price on the time/skill it takes to make something. As I'm sure any crafters who make things can verify, non-crafters seem to think that if it's "handmade" that means it hasn't cost anything to make! Oh if only that were true!
Anyway, I just thought I'd share a few pics of the crocheted baby bits - and any suggestions for prices would be VERY welcome!
Some cute little hats to keep heads warm!
Some baby bibs for all the dribbles and spills (and there are plenty of those!)
And these are definitely high on the cute factor! Little shoes for baby feet!
I've enjoyed making these a lot and I've a sneaking feeling that when one of our gorgeous offspring announces that a new member of the family is on the way, they may get inundated with crocheted goodies! Well, that's what nannas are for isn't it? lol!
I hope that you have a good week, whatever you have planned. And thank you so much for all your lovely comments and support - it means such a lot to know that you take the time to have a look at my crafting efforts! And remember - any help you can offer with pricing ideas would be very welcome!
Back soon,

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous array of loveliness Kim...as for price I'm hopeless!! xx
ReplyDeleteHi Kim,
ReplyDeleteoh what a lovely lot of Baby Crochet Items.
I love the hats and the shoes.
Not sure what price you should charge as I too am hopeless at pricing too.
My DH always says I never charge enough.
I used to crochet fancy Babies Bonnets with lace on and charge £5 for them, if that helps, but that was many years ago.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
OMG that are all absolutely adorable . As for pricing I'm really sorry but I don't have a clue, I know I sell my cards far too cheaply.

These are gorgeously cute Kim, I also am hopeless with pricing and get told I don't charge enough for cards made to order from work. What about looking online at some craft selling sites to see what sort of prices others charge? Good luck with the craft fairs xx
ReplyDeleteHow lovely, what gorgeous colours, you have been busy!
