Crafty Children

Hello friends!

 First of all, thanks for all the love you’ve been showing the blog! I love your comments/emails/tips/words of encouragement. Thanks so much!!!

This post is to announce a new project we’re working on here at El Bichito. Read carefully, because YOU are a big part of this.
We’ve recently taught the dearest ninas how to crochet! 
Right now they are learning to make these cute headbands that have been the only reason I have been able to stay warm here. They’re awesome because:
1.       They keep your ears and head snug and warm
2.       They are cute!
3.       They hide any greasy bangs you might have
4.       They’ve been handmade in PERU
Aurora was the first one to complete hers. How cute is she??
Awesome, no?

Here’s where you come in! We want to set up an Etsy shop and sell these (as well as other crafty things we teach the girls to make), to our dear friends in the states. They would be made of authentic yarn handmade here in Puylucana. Cool huh? We would help the girls make them (thus they’d be learning a new skill) and the proceeds would go to the children.

It’s just an idea we have right now, but let me know if you have any suggestions/comments/orders J
Have a great day, I know we will!
