Fun & Funky Half Hats

I'm happy to introduce you all to my first design in Crochet! Magazine!!! These fun half-hats were inspired last year during a craft show when I saw someone wearing something similar!! I love how fun these are to wear....just think of all the color combos! And best of all....not hat hair!!!

Building Blocks Blanket

Look what I just found on the Crochet Today website!! I love this sweet little blanket!!

What I'm Working on Wednesday

How about a new theme on Wednesdays?? I'd love to tell you everything I've been working on for the past week!

Currently, on my hook and for myself, is this great little item from Designing Vashti! My Mr. Stretchy ( I LOVE THE NAME!) is being made from Patons Stretch Socks in Licorice. It's about half way done and going slowly. First because it is still in the low 90's here during the day and I can't seem to think about fall yet, and it's just the same stitch over and over again and I'm getting bored...sorry Vashti!

This weekend I sent 4 new independently published patterns off to my editor and I am patiently waiting for the pictures from the photographer! I hope you all love the new things I have planned to release this fall!!

And now I need to hop into Spring 2011 mode!! I've had one new design accepted for publication somewhere new that I'm really excited about!! I get to use a wonderful high-end yarn for the design and it is a type of item I have never designed before! Watch out!! I am also currently working with another new place to have some patterns published. I believe this one has some great potential!! And, of course, I am busy sending off new design proposals!!

So, yes I am busy. All this plus running my house/family too!

Spa Day!

I just got the current issue of Crochet World in the mail (August 2010). Be sure to check out my newest published design on page 14!! Who couldn't use a Spa Day??

Off to the publisher!

Whoo hooo!! Just off in the mail is item #4 by JBD to be published in 2008!! Let's keep our fingers crossed that I can squeeze one more in this year!

I'd love to get one more published and make it an even 5 for my first year!

Another one bites the dust!!

Yippee!! I mailed off another pattern to a magazine publisher!! This makes #3!! I am so excited!! Now we just sit back and wait for the magazine to come out!! The 4th pattern is not scheduled till spring 2009, so no hurry on writing that one up, LOL!! So here it is, another sneak peak for all you lovely readers!!

OH!!! And Happy Halloween too!!!

And Happy Birthday Katie!

On it's way!!

Off it goes!!! My second pattern for magazine publication!! Safe travels little box! And I thought you would all like a little sneak peek too! Enjoy!
