Yep...You Read That Right! We're selling F-BOMBS!!
F is for FUNNY!
It started as a joke. My hilarious friends challenged my crafty mom to crochet something a little different than her usual cute baby hats & stuffed unicorns (although we've clearly dragged her outside the box once or twice given our previous foray into p'cozy-ville...which you can click here to read more about). I posted a picture & within minutes had someone basically DEMANDING I let her buy it. Okay...fair enough. I was pretty sure I could get mom to make me another one, so I said yes. Before long I had a 2nd one & another picture of these multiplying F-bombs gracing my Facebook feed. And again...more people asking where they could get them.
Hmmmm...

Things Escalated QUICKLY!
After some initial perplexed looks from my mom about why these were so popular, she decided this could be a fun way to use up all the scrap yarn she had laying around from other projects. So...she went to work! Before long, she showed up at my door with 25 or so F-bombs & was like, "Okay...get to work selling these."
I wasn't sure people would buy random colors of f-bombs...but my mom made one things very clear. "I DO WHAT I WANT! I'm retired for a reason. I don't work for anyone. I craft my way. People can take it or leave it. But NO ORDERS...because that feels like work instead of fun."
Fair enough. So I put it out there just like that. Here's what we have. Take it or leave it.
Turns out...people took it!

Fun + Meaning = PURPOSE
As orders (or as we like to call them, inquires about what might be available for purchase) rolled in, we wanted to say a little something about why we decided to keep doing this project. Because it turned out to be a looooooot of back & forth on FB messenger, MANY trips to the post office, & logistical challenges as people would order 1, 5, 10, & even 20 F-bombs at one time.
We sat down & wrote this letter to include with each package as a means to inspire people to really do something with their F-bombs.
And boy did they!
We've gotten back messages from people who have used these in the most creative ways!! A few of our favorite examples:
--As a tool to chat about feelings with their kids
--As a fun reminder to have clean language at grandma's house
--As FAITH bombs
--As give-aways to their customers (the F has stood for faith, family, finances, & fabulousness!)
--Unicorn F-bombs as reminders to keep fantasizing about the life you really want
And the list keeps growing! We loooooove to hear how people are using their F-bombs to spread joy, make people smile, & open up conversation. What's YOUR f-word?!

So what kind of F-bombs have we made?!
Thanks to the creative minds of the people who bought our initial round of F-bombs, Grandma Darlene has branched out!
Some of the F-bombs we've created include:
**LOVE-bombs**
**FANTASY-bombs (in unicorn or leprechaun color schemes)**
**FOOTBALL f-bombs (because what can make you want to drop an f-bomb more than when your team fumbles?! NO!!!!!)**
**CAMO F-bombs (because I am & always will be an army girl at heart...so gotta represent!)**
Who knows where we'll go next!! We're always coming up with new ideas and are definitely open to your thoughts too. So please share if you've got an F-bomb inspiration!
