Selling Crafty Possessions

I have recently been trying to sell off some of my mother's craft books. She passed away in 2016, so it is far overdue, but the emotional labor behind getting rid of such things has been intense. I finally have started by posting some things on a craft website, Ravelry. 

She had so many books of so many different kinds! Embroidery, quilting, knitting, crocheting, mixed media, felting, spinning, cross stitch, the list just goes on and on! She was a life-long lover of all things craft, and it really shows as I work my way through her library. 

I have been fortunate enough to offload some of her cross stitch materials to online acquaintances that I know will love and respect her books and magazines. I sent a huge stack of cross stitch magazines to a friend on the West Coast. I just sent a few books to a friend in Denmark. I hope to pass more along to other craft lovers as it goes. 

Here is a picture of ONE stack of craft books I have gone through so far. There are sooooo many more. 

So, here is my question- do you ever have craft books you want to offload somewhere? What do you do with them? If I can't get them sold online somewhere I will probably give them to Goodwill or a local craft re-store. Any ideas I can get would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, and happy crafting!

August Wrap-Up

What did I accomplish in August? Honestly, I didn't finish a SINGLE THING. Not my finest craft productivity. But I had good reason- I'm pregnant, and the fatigue was so intense I couldn't bring myself to craft most days. I did work on a long-term WIP, however, and it is almost ready to bind off and be complete. It is my brioche cowl: 

I'm also excited to finish the current towels I have on my loom, plus I've been asked to make some samples for a shape loom shop, so I have my work cut out for me! I'm still going to be crafting slower than normal, (a friend recently told me, "You're crafting constantly when you're making a baby, it's just not on the outside") but I'm hoping to get some things done this month. I'll keep you all posted!

Happy crafting!
