Crafty me: the last of the Captains work

Before I returned to full-time office work stuff I spent 4 years and many hours building up and establishing Captain Apricot, a 100% handmade cottage industry type business that allowed me to be a stay at home maker and satisfy all my creative urges while Pai was little. I still have dreams about returning to the world of handmade but if I do, it probably won't be with crochet. 

I was really lucky to be able to spend so long doing something that made me happy and allowed me to be at home with my little one, though towards the end there I was experiencing some serious craft burn-out and if I never make another pair of button up fingerless gloves it will be too soon. 

Anyhoo, long preamble just to share that I did a bit of a tidy up of my crafty space and came across a pile of the very last Captain Apricot creations and so I thought that I'd upload them and see if there was any interest. Pop on over to the Captain A facebook page to have a lookie (this is a seriously discounted affair my friends but there's not much left so once it's all gone, that's it!)






This feels very final, but in a good way. Moving on to new and exciting things and letting go of old when the time is right.
