More new Patterns coming soon!! Sneak Peek

I know I said I show you my new goodies, but wedding prep and other work has kept me quite occupied these last few days. What I do have for you is a peek at my two newest creations and a redo of an old pattern.
Also I snagged a cute little desk at the salvation army for a dollar and gave it a face lift, which of course meant a much needed overhaul of my craft space.

Here's my very snuggly turtle, who makes a surprisingly good pillow.

And my favorite Halloween critter yet, my baby bat :)

And the redone Jellyfish Scarf. The scarf itself hasn't changed, but it's one of the first pattern's I've ever wrote and going back to it, it was rough. It'll be given a overhaul of more than just the photos like I was planning.

My new desk before:

And after:

I'll getting some cute knobs and probably refacing the drawers, but's the perfect size and totally worth the dollar.

And the new craft space

work still to be done

the plushies  I haven't managed to give away

Almost May

Here's a look at what I've been up to this month and a sneak peak at your free pattern coming soon


I found these great swatches (looks like they used to be in a book) at the local Salvation Army around the same time I saw the square-a-day samplers floating about in cyber space. So I decided to combine the two minus the one square per day rule, mostly because I'm a bit compulsive at times :) 
I'm going to make a stitched 'book' of 4x4 square samplers inspired by days that make me happy. I've got four planned out and a few more in rough sketches. 


Take a look...

Also I finished a few commissions this month (made harder by the odd tingling in my pinky, any ideas?)

And I managed to whip up this Crochet hook holder which will be this month's free crochet pattern. (look for it around Tuesday-Wednesday)

And some of the goodies from our one and only thrift shop outing this month. {saving money can really be the pits sometimes}

This is the tiniest crochet hook I have ever seen, smaller than the one I tried to make myself using a broken needle. I can't make wait to make something ridiculously tiny with it

This is a combo latch hook/needle punch, which was an awesome find because I've been wanting to try needle punching but wasn't really interested in spending 20 bucks on a tool that may get used a handful of times.

The creepy doll is for my sister, cause she likes that sort of thing. The other two you will {most likely} see in future posts.




Till next week


Erin

Better late than never

Okay so it's been a week longer than I meant for it be before posting again, but in my defense my daughter hung around for a week and then some longer than we were planning. Lots of fun for me not so much for my ability to get anything done. But she's gone back to Arizona and our daily routines are becoming a little more routine so here we go.

First we have this cute little guy (though at just under a foot tall I'm not sure little is the right word)

The pattern will be available shortly,all the testing is done I just to to make another to take the step by step photos.

The we have my debut embroidery pattern : Poppy

She'll be in my shop by the end of the week










And here's a sneak peak at a crazy project I've decided to take on

And once I locate a very sneaky photo, I'll have a yeti to introduce you too.



oh and before I forget there will be more free projects/patterns this month and on a more regular basis

Introducing Septimus

Our newest Crab, he's quite a love and likes to walk in circles around your hand until you're both dizzy :)

And a real quick list of my current projects:

1. Re working all of my patterns (layouts, better photos make sure there aren't any errors, etc.)

2. I'm working up a yeti pattern

3. finishing touches on my first few embroidery patterns (three I think :)

4. packaging up my daughter's v-day care package (last minute I know, thankfully for a small fortune it can be overnighted to arrive only one day late)

5. crocheting up a little heart plushie for previously mentioned care package (pattern will be available for free here on V-day

6. dropping dead from exhaustion :)

New Photos for the Deviant Art Group DAKnitters

Some images from my photo shoot for the new journal over at DA Knitters, the main theme is bringing yarn to life

Long time no post

SO I have had a crazy hectic couple of weeks, sorry about the lack of posting. I moved my B/F down here only to find he'd rather be up north, so we packed up and moved yesterday (well everything but me til monday) I've got a new pattern up in my shop

and I'm working on halloween stuff soon, so check back in a week or two and if there isn't anything new on here I give you my permission to poke me with a big stick :)
