♥ NOTE ♥ A new release is my own pdf pattern for the cupcake drawstring purse. Patterns for the cellphone cosies, and pencil cases will soon follow. Christmas draws closer, it's time to learn something new and create something really cute to give. Show, don't tell how much you care for one another.

♥ Learn ♥ Create ♥ Give ♥

 

 

Yes, I have one pattern so far for the Strawberry Wristlet/Cozy.

I'm writing the one for the pencil case and cake cozies.They'll be ready in a week or two.

 

Backtrack: Daily dose of unguilty pleasures

These were my projects from a few weeks back. 

Ok. 

I tried obeying the pattern,

but I thought I should give it a twist.

Rebel with a *creative* cause, no?

Not bad.  It can be improved.

Kitchen lovelies.

...they are made for practical use...

I just have *other* store-bought ones for that purpose.

Eyes scream:  I feel my pupils dilating.

..er... ummm.. Hello!

Welcome to my blog – a journal of my

yarn-o-maniac tendencies,

of my lovely mess,

of my quotidian life as the creative individual

the Lord has made me.

Stay.

I hope you will be inspired,

encouraged.

Comment,

constructively.
