Bad Blogger Update
I’ve been a bad blogger, I know, and I’ve lost some readers because of it. I need to get back to blogging, so this post is just a rundown of some of the things I’ve been up to lately.
- I met Kim Guzman a couple of weeks ago when she taught a tunisian class to the Topeka Crochet Guild. It was a lot of fun, and Kim is a blast! We invited the members of the Wichita guild to join us as well, and three of them made the drive up. A good time was had by all. I even got her autograph on a book of tunisian dishcloths that she wrote. (Pics will eventually be posted, I hope.)
- I’ve been working on several of my own patterns. I’ve learned that I’m really lousy at getting them written out in a timely matter, though. It’s something I know I need to work on, and I am.
- I have an Etsy store AND an ArtFire store; however, I am considering downgrading on the latter since the $12 a month fee isn’t cutting it for me. I’d much rather pay as I go like Etsy lets me…at least for now. I love the features of AF versus Etsy, but times are tough.
- The crochet guild put labels on blankets the other night that we are donating to a couple of local charities. We have right at 100 of them. Wow. And we also have about 250 hats & scarves to donate as well.
- I have several new ideas in the works which I hope to announce soon.
- I also have at least two patterns I plan to submit for publication.
- I’m crafting for a craft fair that’s coming up on November 7th. Lots to do.
- My daughter is a Senior this year, so we’re preparing for that great graduation day. We had some gorgeous pictures taken at a couple of locations close to home last weekend, thanks to my husband’s daughter.
- You can fan me on Facebook for mini updates. I’m a little better at that than I am at writing out full blog posts.
- Life is good.

Greetings,
I stumbled on your blog while searching Google for craft websites and wanted to say that I really like the format you have in place and how the content flows.
The work displayed is very nice and I appreciated looking at it. You seem like someone who takes pleasure in quality work and instruction since you are sharing online. In lieu of this, I was hoping to share something with you as well, maybe you or your readers will be interested.
It is called Easy Stitch, an application for iPhone and iPod Touch users that give step by step instruction on how to learn Knitting, Crochet and Embroidery. We recognize that for advanced crafters such as yourself it may not cover as much knowledge as you share with your site but we thought you may be interested anyways.
If you get a chance, you can take a look at Easy Stitch by going to http://www.easystitchapp.com and see what you think. If you don’t have an iPod or iPhone, feel free to pass this on to your fellow crafters that do.
Thanks for your time and again, great site!

I just came across your site. I love work that you have displayed. I have been crocheting since age 10.
Dont beat yourself up for not posting alot. I see that you have your hands full. Doing what you love doing (crocheting) is most important and I hope that many will be blessed by the work of your hands.
