A little about Crafts By Bitty..
Slightly over three years ago, I was put on bed rest for an extended period of time due to developing seizures. There were not a lot of things I was able to do, or even wanted to do. My ambitions were low while I was fighting against my own body. I felt trapped. I needed a creative solution for something to keep my mind and body busy, while I was not able to get out of bed.
So I picked up my crochet hook, that I had abandoned for years, and some yarn. The stuffed bunny posted above was the first stuffed animal I ever made. I had previously only made blankets, scarves, and hats prior.
I got so much praise about the bunny from my friends and family that I decided to continue to make stuffed animals. In the past three years, I have continuously created different crochet items. I am improving with every stitch and item I crochet.
This is a reminder to never give up. Keep fighting, because every day you fight is a day that you're getting better at it.
This bunny brought me so much joy and purpose in a confusing and dark time in my life, and I will cherish it forever.
