I am focusing on the good right now. So let’s start with this. Kyla and Vada have made their Red Heart debut! They both helped me with some kid craft patterns Red Heart hired me to create for them, and we had so much fun. I took so many pictures that I was asked to use them for 2 guest posts on Red Heart’s blog. Pretty nifty. Vada helped me with the tassel necklace made with Red Heart Sizzle. Here … Read more
Weather you are learning to crochet or teaching someone to crochet, this single crochet video tutorial and written tutorial is for you.
May has been quite busy for me. Starting on the 4th, I had a VERY busy week, and have been trying to catch up since. I found a pile of pictures I would like to share with you, which will guide you through my crazy May. I know I shared about the meeting we had on May 4th, with about a dozen people in our house. It was fun! That night Kyla had to write her weekend story for school. … Read more
So I have finally been feeling alive enough to get back to crocheting today! Here is a pile of yarn I have next to me attached to a few secret projects. I know, I’m such a stinker showing you the yarn and not the project, but sometimes you just have to wait! Here is the start of something I hope to have ready to share with you by the end of the weekend. I LOVE making a linen stitch with … Read more
Here is a great way to see exactly what yarn you have, without having to look through it all! You can organize these little swatch cards on office/book rings.
Good evening everyone. We had a very creative and fun couple of days over here At Home. The girls stashed an A.C. Moore bag in Doug’s office, and occasionally they run in there to grab something out of it. A few days ago Vada pulled out this Valentine’s Day monster. It always makes me smile when they randomly decide its craft time and just start getting creative. Of course Kyle loves to express her creativity with fashion! This sparkly little … Read more
Hello my friends! How are all of you? I have been under the weather in a rather miserable way, but I am starting to feel better, and should be back to myself in a week. Thankfully, I got everything straightened out with Flickr/Yahoo and am able to sign into my Flickr account again. I have not had the chance to get some snaps of my Katherine coat yet, but I will soon. I have a few testers going, and am … Read more

If you are looking for some ideas for holiday gifts, take a look through … Read more
My, I have been going like the Energizer Bunny since I got home! So much to do. This transition into professional publishing of my patterns is fun, and lots of work. I have more snaps for you. Some of the show, some of my loot from the show, and some family photos I keep forgetting to share! This lovely lady is Margaret. She is tons of fun, and very nice. I was so excited to see she had sent me … Read more
I spent most of the day in the basement doing some cleaning and organizing. My cutting table was covered with varoius…stuff, and there was a stack of bins and crates 8 feet long and 3 feet tall next to the sofa. I have been looking for the same skein of yarn for weeks now and I finally couldn’t take it anymore. I knew it was in one of those bins! The first thing I did was pull out some of … Read more
