Hello! I am Michelle and I am in southern Indiana. I just found this forum yesterday afternoon and am checking it all out.
I am mom to three kids, my oldest is my son who is 7, my middle is a daughter who turns 6 in April and the youngest is my daughter who turns 3 in March.
I'm married to my college sweetheart. We've been married for 13 1/2 years, but we dated for the four years of college, so we have been together for 17 1/2 years! Most of my life!
Hubby owns a resturant in town, and I recently started my own home business. I make handmade beaded cuffed socks, Hair barrettes and hair twisters. I started mine from a need because my oldest daughter found some beaded socks somehwere and when I looked at them the crocheting to attach the beads was done so tight that you couldn't get her foot in the sock, and they didn't have many beads. So I told her I could do better and I did. family and firends have liked them so in January I decided to go public with it and put them out there for sale. So far, so good....I had one sale last week and one sale this week. I am feeling pretty good.
Thank you for allowing me to check you all out and for introducing myself.

Hi Michelle!
Welcome to Mommy's Helper Community! Please feel free to make youself at home.
Congratulations on your new business! They say the best inventors is a mother in need  And it looks as though you either need a website or you need to share a link to a website you already have  I have a daughter and lots of "adopted daughers" (friends' of my daughter).
I look forward to getting to know you better.
Take care,
Anita

Thank you Ladies!!!
Your warm welcome was wonderful!!
January of this year is when I made the leap to selling them, other than trying once or twice on EBay...

Great site Michelle. Looks like a lot of fun.
Do they wash just like regular socks?
Welcome to the site.

Yes, you can wash them in the machine just like anything else.
If you have a couple of pairs of them, you can put them all in a mesh lingere bag and wash them together. I recommend the mesh bag if you are doing a small load were they are more apt to get tumbled harder or if you are concerned.
Also, I do recommend that you use low heat if you put them in the dryer.
I made my first pair for my daughter almost three years ago, and my youngest is now wearing them and they haven't lost a bead to date.
Thank you for asking! That is something that I probably should post on the website too....

After the question was asked about washing the socks on this forum, I have made some changes to the website...
I added a section called "Care and Handling" and I re-worked the styles and sizes area a little. 
Thank you for the input!!
If anyone would like, please check it out at http://www.crafty-ones.com/atammcreations and let me know how you like it and if you see anythign else that I might want to change!
Thank you for your help!!
