I am Bisoye, a.k.a Alexandra. I introduce myself as crochet and lemonade maker.
A self-taught crocheter, full time mom, full time employee, entrepreneur, blogger, website designer, motivational speaker, married since “forever”, and above all a lover of God. And always super excited about opportunities to give back.
Handcraft’d Luv started in 2015; born out of the desire to learn & do something new; and as a way to kill boredom. Little did I know that that day in November 2015, as I walked into Walmart FMM to buy my first yarn and crochet hook, I was walking into destiny. Today, it has blossomed to become a global initiative!
Allow me to share with you a few principles I have learnt on this journey.
1. When life throws you Lemons….; Turn your face up. Psalm 121:1
2. When life throws you Lemons….; Encourage yourself. Job 22;2
3. When life throws you Lemons…; Be thankful Psalm 89:1
4. When life throws you Lemons….; Be proactive: dig deep and bring out greatness. Dream big..do it anyway Genesis 26: 22, Isaiah 54:2
5. When life throws you Lemons…; Work hard: faith with no works Do not despise the days of small beginnings. James 2:18
6. When life throws you Lemons….Be the light: look outside of you, encourage others. Isaiah 40:28, 2 Corin 1:4
I believe that when life throws you lemons…. you make lemonade! a.k.a being proactive… a.k.a making your own fun!
I do not say that I have comprehended, but this one thing I do....forgetting the past.
Do it anyway
