Break Time

Hey guys!! I wanted to let you all know that I am going to be taking a break for a while. I need to take some time to focus on my family and myself. I will still be selling my patterns, but I won't be listing anything new for a while or taking any custom orders. If you would like something made from one of my patterns, please contact me and I will be happy to give you the name of some crocheters who would be happy to help you!

I do have a few more patterns in the works. A couple of new Portrait Series items and a few scheduled for publication in magazines later this year. I'll get them out when time allows.

For now, I am planning on learning a few new crochet techniques and making some items for myself and my family. Since I've lost some weight, I need new clothes!!! LOL! I have some sewn projects planned along with some crochet and knit ones.



SO, what's first??? Well, I just started a knit Fitted Top for me in Naturally Caron Spa yarn in Misty Taupe. I'll be sure to share pictures as I finish each project!

Just for Me!!


So, I decided to make something just for me!! Since my birthday this year falls on Easter Sunday and we've finally found a wonderful new home church, I decided that I needed something special to wear! I found this sweet vintage skirt patterns and some wonderful floral fabric at my local quilt shop. How pretty!! I am so happy with how the skirt turned out!!! It fits too, LOL!!!

So now I want to crochet something to go with it. I can't decide if I want a cardi/jacket or an actual sweater. Here are some of my ideas:
Cut-Away Cardi Design by Lisa Gonzalez
Lilliana Pineapple Jacket design by Carolyn Christmas Savage
China Doll by Doris Chan
Tangerine Top by Mary Jane Hall

I'm also open to suggestions, so if you know of a great pattern let me know!!

I'm also thinking that I would like to make it out of Naturally Caron Spa yarn...not sure which color yet, LOL!!

Ok, time to get back to my latest project...more on that later! Happy crocheting!

Monday, Monday




Well, typical Monday around the Jaybird home. Heather is at school and I am cleaning and doing laundry. Not much fun!!

I am patiently waiting for some new yarn to arrive!! My friend has commissioned me to create a shawl for her sis to wear during Mardi Gras. I was so excited....I got to order some custom dyed yarn for the shawl!! It should be here any day now and I can't wait to get my hook into it!! It was made by danido crafty over at etsy. I'm posting a pic of it....YUM!!!

Other than that, this CPSIA has put a kink into my plans. I had decided to make a bunch of really cute children's hats ans was excited to start on them. But now I may not be able to sell them. Maybe I should just write the patterns and sell those??? Hmmmmmm...

OK, I need to get back to cleaning. I hope you all have a great week!
