Design Break
This past week I have had quite a few commissioned crochet items to work on, which of course, I do appreciate, but every once in a while I have to stop crocheting for others and take a quick design break for myself.
Today was one of those days. I worked all morning cooking, cleaning and caring for Baby J and then worked all afternoon at my LYS. In the evening I started finishing a project that...
Productivity (or the lack thereof)

There are just some days when I have more time than usual on my hands to do whatever I choose than others. Today was one of those days…and I kind of feel like I didn’t take full advantage of it.
I did get a couple of things checked off my to-do list, which mostly consists of important and/or urgent crochet projects. (You are probably...

A Special Birthday Gift

This beautiful Cascade Ultra Pima in light pink together with the pink Plymouth Yarns 24K, is...

My Obsession...
…is now my profession.
It has long been my dream to be an entrepreneur. You know, set my own hours, be my own boss, work in my own home office, the whole enchilada.
It’s a lovely concept, but it only works if you are actually making m-o-n-e-y at what you are doing. Well, at least making more than you are spending, right?
I crochet. A lot. I love it, I think about it all the time (as...

Once and once again!
When it comes to “frogging” a crochet project that either isn’t turning out the way I had planned or that needs to be repurposed in some way, I have no problem with that at all. My husband on the other hand, really cringes when he sees me take an item that I may have worked quite a while on and completely unravel it. He says, “I just don’t see how you can do...

Indie Emporium 2010
The 4th annual Indie Emporium Craft Fair slash Art Exhibit slash Fashion Show has now come and gone and once again it totally lived up to all of our expectations!
This is my third year attending IE, but my first year there as a vendor. My friend, Andrea, of NeilDesign and I shared a table space. She displayed her beautiful knit cowls, scarves and fingerless gloves on one half of the table.
