SEASONAL FRIDGIES, PINS, AND OTHER THINGEES.
November 26, 2008 | 2 Comments
Isn’t this the cutest thing? I went browsing online for some seasonal fridgies. I have a wooden mantle calendar that has a changeable shape for each major holiday. I really enjoy having it despite the fact that it’s pretty country and my home decor (ya’ll know how, um, detailed my decor is, right?) is not. [...]

DEADLINES? GET ORGANIZED!
November 19, 2008 | Leave a Comment
With the coming of the winter holiday season - Thanksgiving, Christmas, Channukah, New Years, Kwaanza - we often have a lot of deadlines to meet. We often have more budget than cash. We always need a roadmap for gifts, festivities, shopping, etc. At least, it always helps when I have a roadmap - a plan, [...]

Do you know about Carolyn Christmas and Gourmet Crochet? I love the look of the site and Carolyn’s designs. I’ve been a fan of hers for a long time. I purchased Carolyn’s patterns before I knew she had a website.
I recently visited her website to see what’s new. Look what I found!
I originally learned to [...]

SUCH A GREAT IDEA! WHY DIDN’T I THINK OF IT??
November 15, 2008 | 1 Comment
Have you seen this crochet pattern book? I’ve had it in my hands several times, wondering if I wanted to buy it. The last time I looked at it, I FINALLY SAW what the patterns were! They are just crocheted covers for purses you already own! How cool is that?

I had the opportunity recently to visit a LYS that I haven’t been to in about two years. When I walked in and greeted the owner, my eye was immediately drawn to the yarn shown here:
It’s lovely stuff with a nice hand. It’s about a half inch wide when uncurled. There was a knitting [...]

WHERE’S THE BEEF? The Lion Ate It……
November 13, 2008 | 6 Comments
I have a beef with the LionBrand website. It’s a great site - oodles of free patterns for crochet (and knit), great pictures of yarn and finished garments, etc. I have no beef with that. It’s all good.
But, why in the name of all things sane can they NOT figure out how to set their [...]
