New item: wall pockets.
They are such a great way to organize and keep things up and easy to grab!
These are originally 4”x4” and I can stack them to have up to three pockets. (Although I am more than willing to completely customize the size, amount, and set of pockets, just send me a message!)
These are $10 and the addition of a pocket is $8

It's almost been a couple of years since I made my original introduction post, so I figured I'd make another!

Some fun facts about me:
I'm 22 and a virgo. I've been married to my husband for almost five years and we have one kid. I'm bisexual and non-binary (happy pride month y'all). I love plants, puzzles, word searches, needlework/fiber arts/textiles, ect.. Honestly, this list could go on and on, I collect hobbies like pokemon.

My name is Jaci, I'm the one person behind Mama J's Crochet and this is the story of my crochet journey. I've relied on many different art forms throughout my life but none of them saved me the way crochet did. I learned the very basics of many fiber arts as a child, including crochet, but it wasn't until I was 20 that I immersed myself into it. It was a few months after a su***de attempt and I was trying to crawl out of the bad spot I was in; I ended up getting some yarn passed down to me and it was way more than I anticipated. As a result, I decided I had to learn right away. I started doing it all the time and everywhere. Pretty soon I was making way more stuff than I wanted to keep, I was just happy to create. So I started selling it and since then I've dove further into educating myself of the wonderful world and history of fiber arts.

I am officially going to start offering mending and repairs! I’m going to offer a “pay what you can” price scale. This helps prevent unnecessary textile waste and helps me build up my skills and mending portfolio!
Here are a couple before & afters of my recent fixes. A reading pillow rip and a rip on the pocket of scrubs!

There’s something so therapeutic about working with thread. My current wip is this experimental piece, a filet crochet made with multicolored thread. I’ve decided to wait until at least 50 rows are done before I decide how I feel about it, but so far I think it’s neat and subtle.
