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.
