2017 Wish List

1/15/2017

We'll, I'm 2 weeks into this new year, and I've already spent more time editing and working on my website than I spent in the previous 6 months.  This is one of the 'Wishful' things I have for myself this year.  I won't make a resolutions list because it seems that past ones rarely make it past the 1/4 mark of the year.  Instead I am hopeful that I will use my spare time (as little as it may be) to be creative.  To do things that I have been 'wishing' I had the time to do.  I will plan my time better.  Make a task list and stick to it.  If I am successful - this theory should make it all work - creative time, work time, and those things that just have to be done every day in your life.

​So here's to a WISHFUL LIST for 2017.  Another thing - to make a post here with updates to see if this idea of being more organized works.  Guess we'll all find out together.

​Thanks for stopping by for a visit.

Craft Room Lallapalooza...

Well the time has come for another organization of the craft room.   Most of you know what I mean.  It seems that it doesn't take long for your space to get so cluttered - that it begins to interfere with your 'creative vibes'.

I am working with beads more often so I wanted to get my work area more oriented with the things I am using more frequently.  A friend gave me a huge organizer with 60 bins - this will be great for storing the ever growing assortment of beads I am amassing for the crochet rings and bracelets. 

As with ANY organization project - it's like throwing a rock in a pond - you get  ripples.  Moving one group of stuff out of the way invades another area that  then requires cleaning and reorganizing.  So - inevitably the whole room will be  affected.  As you can see - it is a jumbled mess!

It has gradually become a wall to wall mishmash of storage bins, boxes, shelves & baskets.  Over the next week I will try to sort, compile, classify, organize......yes even harmonize, my space.  I might even try to purge an item or two....YIKES!

I will post the AFTER pictures when done and before its gets unharmonized again...lol!!!

Baby Hat

This darling hat is a pattern (Bit of Whimsey) by Margaret Hubert.  I saw it in the book: THINK PINK, CROCHET FOR THE CURE (Annie's Attic).
After seeing it - I realized how cute it would be to do it in tiny yarn for a baby hat.  My daughter is a photographer and has been asking me for some props when doing baby photo shoots.  This will come it handy!  CoziCrafts will get a few more items made for her treasure trunk!

It's finished!  (The picture was taken without a flash - it is more 'pinkish' in differnent light.) 
The vest turned out really nice!
Again - I can't believe how quickly it worked up.  This is a pattern worth adding to your book.
The flirty ruffles are fun and feminine.  I will probably do another one later on in a lighter weight yarn for a more 'summery' feel.

The fabulous vest by Jenny King works up so easily and quickly.  I started it barely a week ago and will finish it today.
I love the raspberry Sublime Cashmere yarn - it's so soft and it's washable.  I will post pictures of the finished product in a day or two. 

Thanks to Mary at Yarns, Etc. in Chapel Hill for helping me choose the best (& yummiest) yarn for this project.

Creative Crochet

My second published pattern will be available next month in Interweave Crochet.  I'm so excited to realize that I CAN create new patterns and someone wants to put it in a publication. 

Like many of you, I have made stuff up and created LOTS of things over the years.  It wasn't until very recently a friend suggested I send a new creation of mine in for consideration for an accessories issue.  I was stunned and amazed that it was accepted.  Of course this just increased my desire to do more! 

I have several ideas on the table and hope to get more things published in craft magazines.  I will also be making some of my original designs available on my website.  A couple of which are available for FREE download already.

This is my first blog post.  I'm new to this - so bear with me as I travel through the shperes of cyberspace with my thoughts, ideas, and daydreams of crochet.
There maybe a sprinkling of random stuff here and there - but my goal is to stay oriented to the craft on this blog. 

Keep your hooks movin'..... J
