Thanksgiving 2019

Hi! If you haven't noticed my blog/social media has been seriously neglected this year. I took on a full time job and unfortunately my business has had to take a back seat. 

I still love to crochet and knit but in this season I just don't have time to blog and design like I would love too. 

I don't intend to ever stop designing and enjoying this craft world. it's a huge part of me and my little buisness is still going to stick around with hopes of being able to balance it all and come back to it full force over time. 

This is my favorite time of year! I get to offer big savings to you and I get to crochet Christmas goodies for orders, friends and loved ones.

I'm just popping in to say enjoy some saving on my crochet patterns and if you need something special made don't wait to long because with my busier than ever schedule I only have time for so many orders. There are always a few last minute ones and I will do my best to make those happen.

Thanks for supporting small business like mine 

I truly love what I do!

This past year I've had to take the focus off crochet though. 

I took a part time job in March and starting this next week I've taken a Assistant Management Position and will become full time back into work after about 7 years of not working outside the home. Balancing it all as a Wife, Mother, Business owner and part time working hasn't been easy. I miss the time to design. I have to figure out how to make it all work. It may be quieter around here but I've got plans and designs to come as I can. Of course I'm always open to custom orders too. I was just thinking how thankful I am that I got to do this for 7 almost 8 years while raising my little ones. Thank you for helping me be able to do that! 

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and Happy Holiday's ahead! Enjoy the sale! 

Yarn Pooling Made Easy : A Blog Tour, Review and Giveaway

I don't know about you but a big trend last year in crochet was Yarn Pooling! Did you try it? I know I did and failed. Trying to find the right yarn, formulas and such wasn't easy on my own. Of course I didn't do a lot of research at first and was just grabbing variegated yarn I had on hand and just hoping it would magically happen. It didn't. I now have perfect solution and resource!

 a few scarves

a set: hat, cowl and fingerless gloves

 Car Seat Cover

Child's Sweater

Baby Cocoon 

 Poncho 

I was really impressed with the variety of patterns.  
It was hard for me to choose one to make. 

I started with the Full Scarf, but I didn't just want a basic scarf and I messed up at the beginning so I pulled it out. 
I was drawn to the child's sweater but I didn't have enough yarn. 

So, I decided I would Make the Car Seat Cover just  a smaller version of it. 

I crochet for my daughters dolls a lot and thought it would make a cute mini babydoll blanket. 

I just happened to have a Skien of Red Heart Super Saver #906 Ocean. This was used for the scarf pictured above in the banner. 

I worked up a small rectangle using the yarn pooling method from the book and guess what it worked out!! Isn't this gorgeous. What I really loved was the border. It called for two contrasting colors but I went with a matching purple and the same variegated in the center and it made another lovely colorful border effect. 

I really love the way it turned out and my Daughter did too. 

So, if you were scared of yarn pooling.
