March Agatha Adventures

Lovely Dovely Jellyfish orders: 10

Agatha, a witch from the Wild, Wild West lives in solitude with her cats, Daisy and Mitsy (Mit-see), and her yarning hobbies. She runs a small craft business - emphasis on small - that she is working on evolving into an inspiring and successful emporium. One “customer” said her ideas were wicked, but Agatha wonders why they never bought anything. This year she hopes to make a name for her business and establish herself as the renowned craftswomen of the West. 

It is the time of spring and new beginnings and Agatha, still on the high of a successful product release, is ready to take on a new challenge. This new idea came to Agatha as she looked out of her window that featured the wide plains of the Wild, Wild West. In the usually monotone dull landscape, she now saw clusters of silver, pink, purple, and gold flowers. Agatha turned her head and smiled at her embodiment of spring for a front yard. A small pond with fake koi fish - the business is not going great - a bird feeder, and hanging potted plants. Agatha wanted to capture these picture-perfect moments of nature and express them in simple, practical crochet pieces. But she’s already done tapestry, bookmarks, animals, and even socks. 

Agatha again looked around, trying to find inspiration in more of her surroundings. “Spring….blanket! No, no spring… scarf. Eureka! A spring cat collar.”. A flood of ideas came to Agatha, but she could not seem to execute any of them properly. With spring came allergies, and Agatha was not able to crochet without sneezing accompanied with red, itchy eyes. Even witches get sick. Still, Agatha sought to establish a new product for her business. And then it came to her, albeit unpleasantly; but it was better than nothing! 

Nothing soothes the sickness like piping hot tea, and nothing ruins the mood like lukewarm tea. Everytime Agatha set her hot mug down, the warmth would just melt away. Agatha needed something to contain her beverage’s heat, stylishly of course. Agatha needed coasters.
