When time is right
It was a freezing winter, snow-storms all over Europe.
February the 2nd, 2010, my Italian husband and me finally arrived to our new (old) house outside Rome. We came the long way from Oslo (Norway) in my old Renault, filled with can't-live-without-stuff.
Passing the Italian border in the Alps, the sun was shining, sky was blue, and it was warm!
What a feeling!
Moving to Italy I knew I had to invent a job for myself.
I had A- B- and C-plans for my different skills.
Within a year I landed on publishing my crochet patterns.
Patterns are perfect items to sell; No packing, no shipping, no queuing in overcrowded Post-Offices.
I opened my Etsy-Shop in end of January 2011. Throughout summer and fall that year I listed my first 4-5 patterns.
Sales were close to zero as expected, but I felt strongly that this was right, and worked on as obsessed, with patience and long term plans!
This was 11 years ago!
Now I'm back in my homeland Norway, continuing the work I started in Italy!
Happy crocheting!
Best wishes,
Ingunn
