ASHAMED...

ASHAMED…

I am totally not able to work with the few hours I have left for crafting and blogging. I have tried several different ways and I have come up short every single time.  I will finish the Road Trip aka Crochet Along but I really need more time, I think you know how I feel, right? It’s horrible when you can’t relax with Hook and Yarn (my favorite pets) every single day…. I haven’t touched it in a…

COMPACT DOILY ROAD TRIP

Row 7: This row is made up of cute popcorns and half double crochet stitch: one popcorn-2HDC-popcorn. To make the popcorn stitch you chain 3 and then slip stitch in the first chain this makes a little corn that separates each pair of HDC, slip stitch to close row. Row 8: This row introduces the slip stitch. You want to work in each space between the pair of HDC and in the front.  Please relax…

COMPACT DOILY ROAD TRIP

Good morning Artisans!! It is so nice to embark on this Crochet Along aka Road Trip. I decided to call it Compact Doily because it won’t be lacy, it is going to be “solid” looking. So, take out your hook and thread and wrap around your thread about six times, this is just an example, I did mine about six or seven times but I did not photograph it, silly me. It should look like this:  This is what…

THREAD CROCHET ROAD TRIP

Thread Crochet is in the air! I have decided that a thread crochet doily is what we should do next. There are several types of doilies made with thread: the lacy type and the solid type. We did a lacy tablecloth some years ago so now I want a solid doily type, think in your mind Overlay Crochet or Mandala. The basic color we are using is white but I have a feeling that we are going to do some…

TECHNIQUE TUESDAY!!

I want to share this technique with you because I find that borders make any project looks “finished ” and I like the bullion stitch. http://www.storey.com/article/how-to-crochet-a-bullion-coil-border/ Edie Eckman has several books out, and I want to share a link to a giveaway. I lost 10 hours of crafting because of my daytime job and it’s not sitting well with me, I miss my chats with You, our…

Hello....I'M STILL STUMPED....😱

Hello….I’M STILL STUMPED….😱

This is the vintage lace/puzzle I am hoping to replicate…I have lost a lot of brain cells trying to decipher the second round…. If you solved this puzzle let me know, okay?  I may just unravel part of it to find out, what do you think? I’m working on this doily too: Plus experimenting with new stitch combinations… I like working with one solid project as opposed to working with individual pieces…

SUPERBOWL WEEKEND!!

The Game is this weekend, Are You Ready?! Ok, I may not like that sport a lot but I must admit: it’s exciting to watch the Super Bowl 😀 So, I decided to give the guys a treat, of the crochet kind….  I went window shopping on Pinterest to find football stuff 😀 I think these are perfect for the big game, they look like at least a week project, so why not start on Sunday and finish in a week? Just a…

NEW PROJECTS  COMING SOON...

NEW PROJECTS  COMING SOON…

Happy Monday Everyone!!! My posting habits are going to get better soon, I promise. I am getting my working space organized and trying out new stitches. A lot of new stitches are just the basics stitches worked in a different way. I am practicing my stitches making dishcloths so you will be seeing more dishcloths. In other news: I want to start a big project soon, I’m missing the adrenaline rush…

Happy New Year Everyone!! May this year bring us joy and creativity and money and more love and more sales :-)

I hope you are back from your Christmas break too. I had a lovely time  in the hot and humid weather of the tropics, but I am glad I am back in the nice and cool weather of Paradise.

I enjoyed visiting with some of you lovely people and seeing all your great work, I want to pick up my hooks again and finish projects. Last year wasn’t too productive because of changes in my work schedule but I want to change that this year.

I have set goals for you 2017:  I want you to take me into new areas of Crochet, like selling and teaching kids how to crochet. I want you to keep me inspired when designing, I really need you inspiration.

I want to organize my Crochet Spot, it is a huge mess now but I am working on fixing this.

Every year I like to take a look back at what I accomplished, I need  to see if I really learned something new:

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

I learned new stitches like the Houndstooth Crochet Stitch, which is simple but classic  

I continued using “tall stitches” which makes any project grow faster and they are really fun to use.

When you get bored with the regular stitches please consider using the big and tall stitches. I used it here:

Lace Covered Pumpkin

The large Pumpkin needed these stitches to give it a nice detail.

I won’t mention the projects I started and have not finished, it hurts too much :-)

We had a few Road Trips aka Crochet Along but I wanted to have more, but time ran out…

Crochet is fun and can be fast or time-consuming. The more detailed the project the more time it will take. The thinner or finer the yarn/thread the longer it will take. The chunkier the yarn the faster the project will finish. I love Chunky Yarn :-)

I think I need to learn to organize my time better and plan better. I am awful at planning, I am a “Spur of the Moment” type of person but it doesn’t work very well when you are dealing with Crochet.

And…It is my pleasure to WELCOME all my new subscribers!!! Thanks for stopping by and saying hello :-)

You can find me on several other Social Media and If you ever have any questions let me know, I will try my very best to answer each question.

This, is all for now Lovelies, Enjoy every moment!!

    HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017!!! Happy New Year Everyone!! May this year bring us joy and creativity and money and more love and more sales :-)
