New Super Sale Amazon Collection of my Easy Crochet Patterns!

You guys, for a limited introductory period I have this new Mini Treasury listed on Amazon for $2.99! That's 75% off list price, and it's packed with patterns for small projects that won't bog you down! The best thing is...from your point of view, not mine (cough)...is that you can see all of the first chapter  by using the "look inside" feature, or even download the sample from its item page on amazon. Just click here.  But why would you do that when you can buy the whole ebook for three bucks?

The first chapter is my leaf and leaf garland collection, second chapter is a collection of super easy baskets and bowls, third chapter is a set of flowers for embellishing, and the fourth chapter is four of my easy baby hats, two of them brand new in 2015.

So check out the sample or check out all of my amazon patterns or better yet, my patterns on Ets

And thank you!

Dr. Seuss-Inspired Birdies to Crochet

I love Dr. Seuss birds, and these remind me of Mayzie and pals. I'm having a blast designing appliques that are easy to do, and putting them on my etsy store . So cool to sit down and show my fave hobby, and have it be the basis for a store, too. Etsy is that great for crafters and designers, may it have a long and fabulous future.

More Mayzies and Gertrudes and maybe even a Horton coming up.... Cheerio!

Snowflakes at the First Excuse

I've been making snowflakes and other little doodles like crazy....here's my latest, inspired by real snowflakes from nature: etsy snowflake pattern

I'm blown away this last few days by the sheer volume of listings and human creativity on etsy. It's daunting to jump into that marketplace with so much talent all around you; but I guess there's a place for everyone, be it ever so humble. Show me your fave etsy stuff, I love looking at neat things I've not seen before. 

I LOVE MY DAISY!!!!!

Here's why I love crochet: in just a few minutes, maybe half an hour, you can have a delightful, bright, cheerful, so-cute-you-want-to-bite-it DAISY or peony, or rose, or whatever adorable object you want to make. Invest a little time in learning to crochet, and you begin to realize that it is a construction method whose versatility rivals that of any other craft you can imagine. You can make everything from a huge rug that fills a room, like my mom did, to doll-house furniture so tiny you have to squint, like I did. From tiny threads and crochet hooks, to honking big hooks and super-thick yarn or rag, you name it, they sell it.

Go nuts about crochet, it will grab you and won't let go! You can see all of my patterns at my online store or on my etsy site.

By the way, this to-die-for daisy is included in my "Hippie Flower Collection #1" available at the online store mentioned and linked to above. Wooooo hooooooooooooo

New Patterns - I'm Hyperventilating with Joy!

You guys, crochet has always been my hobby, and it's becoming an obsession. I've just created some new patterns, they range from easy crochet patterns like Christmas tree Snowflake Ornaments to more elaborate patterns like thread crochet patterns for jewelry, gothic lace chokers, tiny thread crochet cross pendants, and more. The unifying theme is ARTSY, Hippie, a bit Gothic, and very much fun. I hope you enjoy looking. I'm going to post a few free crochet patterns at my website but am working on the pages, so bear with me.

In the meantime, you can check out my listings on etsy; to see the patterns that are currently up for sale. They're cheap (pdf format emailed to you), and mostly easy and quick. Simple crochet patterns are my goal, so if you are a customer and have some feedback about that, let me know.

Check back for more and thanks for looking!
