Grand Opening of Ollie's Boutique

Welcome to Ollie's Boutique, where I sell my handmade crafts.

Most women have a craft or hobby that they do well. I learned to crochet and knit from my mother who needed something to do when the weather was harsh and she was forced to stay indoors. Here in Tucson, the weather is rarely calls me outdoors for anything other than a swim in the pool. What to do in 113 degree heat? I sit in a comfy chair and create "fiber art".

I spend a lot of time hunting for patterns to try. I would love contributions! I am always amazed what a flick of a hook or a twirl of needle can do with a strand of yarn.

I used to make things for friends and family, but my favorites, scarves, are not very useful here in Tucson. So I decided to open a shop and hopefully pass on my completed projects to people who have use for them. I'm not in it for the money; my prices are cost based. If I spend a week on a scarf I won't charge any more for it than a one-day scarf made of the same materials. The higher priced items use either more costly materials or more in quantity than the lower priced items.

Everything is available for purchase at Ollies Boutique on Etsy.com, which I have attempted to link every which way all over all of my sites that are hopefully connected.
