2 New Designs just in time for Christmas
Hi All,
It's been a while since I've posted. Between work and being exhausted thanks to pregnancy, I haven't had much get up and go for designing and writing up my designs. Thanks to going on leave a week early though, I finally got some mojo back SOOOOOOOO here's what I've been up to in the past couple of weeks:
First, I'd like to introduce my newest hat design: Easy Peasy Ear Flap Hat
It's super quick and is so easy to work up. The way the ear flaps are built into the hat makes for less ends to weave in and makes for a very cute (or handsome) looking hat. All it needs is for you to pick out your favorite colors.
The Easy Peasy Ear Flap Hat pattern is available in:
My Etsy Shop OR My Ravelry Shop
Next up: Scrubbin' Octopus
You've seen this one before. It's taken me a while, but I finally got the pattern written up. This little guy is one of the hardest, most handsome, little workers you'll ever meet. He can scrub when you need him too and when he's not cleaning your dishes he's being adorable.
The Scrubbin' Octopus pattern is available in:

Granny RR Dish Cloth- Pattern Now Available
Hi All,
Here is a picture my newest design. It's a Granny Round Ripple Dish Cloth. :-D It can be turned into a full blown afghan too. This dish cloth seriously works up so quick. You'll fall in love. It's perfect for quick gifts too. Make a bunch up and you're good to go for the Holiday Season. We all know how stressful it can be thinking of even the smallest gift for a neighbor or acquaintance. Well, tie a ribbon around a couple of these and include a cute little gift tag and you're good to go.
This pattern can be bought on RAVELRY or from my ETSY SHOP.
Thanks so much for looking!! Happy Crocheting!!

My Recent FO's
Here are some things I've made within the last week (give or take a day):
Each corner of the pic shows the back side of my scrubbers and the one in the middle shows the scrubby side of my scrubbers. These worked up in under 20 minutes each and were fun and relaxing.
The items pictured above are Octopus Scrubbers. They are reversible. At first they look like Octopus Toys then when you turn them inside out you can see they have scrubbers built in. The left and right Octopus Scrubbers in the first picture are a little different. The left one is twice the size as the one on the left. All three of the Octopus Scrubbers were made with Cotton Yarn and Nylon Netting cut into strips and then crocheted into scrubbers. This is my own design and has not been written up yet.
All those Octopus Scrubbers I made really prompted me to make some Octopus stuffed toys. These were all made within the last few days. I've really enjoyed working them up and I can't wait to make more in other fun colors. Again, this is my own design and has not been written up yet.
These pot holders were made within the last week as well. The blue variegated one was worked in the round so the back looks just like the front. I love that pattern and have made quite a few of them. They work up very quickly.
The 4 potholders all in the same photo are made from the infamous magic square method. My grandma taught me that one MANY, MANY years ago and it's one I'll never forget. They are virtually unbeatable.
All the items above were made to sell. 2 of the Octopus Toys are sold already (just waiting to be picked up), the other one was just for fun. Everything else has been put into some plastic tubs and will be sold at a craft show later this year. All the proceeds from that will be going to Babies Savings (for anything we might need before or after baby is born).
Thanks for looking ya'll!!! Happy Knitting and Crocheting!!

An update on what's been going on in my life!!!
Ok, I owe ya'll an update. It's been a while.
Well, I am now into my second trimester (just a 2 weeks in) and thank goodness some of the morning sickness has lightened up a bit. I'm still having trouble eating and I've lost a little more weight but I'm feeling much better. I am learning my limits as a pregnant woman and learning more about the changes my body is going through.
My fiancee, Andrew, is being very supportive and is VERY excited about being a daddy just as I am VERY excited about being a mommy. I know it's gonna be a challenge and our lives are in the process of changing forever but we are both ready and willing to be the best parents we can possibly be.
We decided 2-3 weeks ago to postpone the wedding till next year. After the decision was made I was extremely relieved. I had been so sick that I knew planning a wedding would make things even worse and I really don't need any more stress than I already have right now.
On to my crochet life as of late........ I have some wonderful news for ya'll. One of my designs has been accepted for Crochet Worlds Dec Issue and I also just found out a week ago that this design will also be featured in the winners circle. I am soooo ecstatic. This has fulfilled a life long dream of mine.
Speaking with my dad yesterday I was reminded of exactly how long I had been dreaming about becoming a published designer. Apparently I had been dreaming about it since I was approximately 10 years old (13 years ago). It took a long time to achieve my goal but I'm so glad I stuck with it.
This post is already really long and I still have pictures to post so I'm gonna finish this post off and get some pictures up of all the things I've been working on.
