new project

I've been crocheting a little here are there.

I'm really trying to figure out a way to use my surplus of yarn and fabric.  So I decided to crochet a bunch of flowers out of the left over white and off white yarns that I have.

I'll let you see the final project whenever I get around to finishing it.  

Here is the pattern that I'm using if you are interested.

Publicity

I read a ton of blogs. "Modish: the blog" is an awesome one that features a lot of indie designers. It also has a monthly giveaway of tons of cool stuff, like the above picture. Maybe you notice the little lady I call winter in the bottom corner...That's right, I submitted a finger puppet for the giveaway!

My friend Ashley gave me the book, Creepy Cute Crochet by Christen Haden. So I made Ashley the bride and her fiance the groom for Halloween. These are actually stuffed dolls and bigger than my finger-puppets.

Happy ADORABLE customer!

Look at this adorable baby boy! He is fierce! His mom sent me a little note with these pictures. I LOVE happy customers. I had to deal with a few cranky ones, but it was ALL worth it to see these pictures. It was worth the late nights of bending over and cutting paper for hours.

ACKKK, I just can't get over how CUTE this is.
