i12read Good luck with your sales! If you know someone who would be around the people your products are aimed at, give them one to use/wear/display. I started making hats for my son, who wore them to school. My first order came from someone who had heard about the...

i12read All comments help. I write down all info and go over it with my docs. With 2 kids in college and 2 kids in public school, I'm not sure if there is such a thing as extra money here. Every time I sell one of my crochet creations, my husband uses the money for us...

i12read I had a short course of Lyrica, not long enough to really know if it will help, but long enough for it to make my hands swell up. I do try to go walk in the pool, but don't go very often. Has the yoga helped you?
