Finally! A yarnie post for you! I know, I’ve had a lot of family photos and stories to share lately. Time for yarn!! First, I promised you a while back that I would share how I have been taking my photos as of late. I have had several people ask how to get good pattern photos indoors, without good daylight. So here is my pattern photo corner in my basement. I hung a piece of light blue linen from a … Read more
Things have been very active here At Home as of late. I am very excited to finally have the Rachel crochet skirt pattern ready for you! You can just click on the photo above to go to the Ravelry listing, which has all the detail about Rachel. You can always find the Rachel pattern with links to all the sites where she can be bought, along with my other crochet patterns, in my crochet pattern directory (under the patterns section … Read more
Here is a little Christmas review for all of you. I will have a few more posts for you with more snaps from between Christmas and now. I have become much more focused on designing and writing my patterns, and on increasing the quality even more. Hence the bombardment of videos that I have been adding lately. Now my patterns not only have step by step photos of certain sections, but links to videos to help those who really like … Read more
Well I am testing a few patterns now. The deadline for both is February 24th. As always, I am running the tests on Ravelry.
First is a project I have been showing you sneaks of for a while now:
This is the Wendy skirt. The pattern is for child small all the way to adult 5X. This one is a child small, made for Vada for Christmas. I have another in the works for Kyla. Sorry it is model~less, but I didn’t want to spoil the surprise!
Last week was quite long and short, all at once. Do you know what I mean?
Before I get into it, I should share that I finally released my Fanny skirt pattern. I am having a give away for any one of my patterns (winners get to choose which one they want) over on my facebook page.
I took a quick break from my projects to whip this cutie up on Monday. It’s from this great pattern I found on Ravelry. The bit of purple there is for lining the hood. I still have to stitch that little bugger in there tonight. I’ll get some better snaps of it tomorrow when it is all done.
Still plugging away on the first of the kinda’ matching Christmas gifts I am making for the girls. I hope to have a little reveal for you by the end of the week. We will see…
I started writing a wrap pattern at the beginning of October. It was beautiful in my head. Somewhere in the initial planning/math stages, something went awry. I think I tried to do too much. The pretty little picture was much more simple then what happened as I started writing.
So, in the end, I had something much more
Yup, chaos. Kind of explains a lot going on right now. I seem to have a decent routine on school mornings up unit I get home from taking the girls to school. Then it’s just a bit, well, chaotic. I’m working on getting into a routine during the school days. It seems like there is just more to do then time in the day. Market some days, laundry others, cleaning (always cleaning), organizing all the stuff in the basement, garage, spare room (which will one day be Kyla’s room), working on my designs/patterns, and, of course, spending time with you, my blogland friends. I know I can.
