I Love My Friends

2010-06-09T12:20:00.000-04:00

My good friend Cindy wrote me this amazing poem for getting into the upcoming issue of Crochet World:

It started with a skein of yarn and a crochet hook in her hands,
Her mind was focused on what she could make to keep up with her life's demands.
It started with a little square and a blanket came to be,
Her heart said "thank you Lord" this craft was created just for me!
Through many years and many tear she just kept on pushing through,
Booties and sweaters and scarves and mittens could be created just for you.
This gift she was given she has used with her faith and has worked with all of her heart,
She has come to be the best around and has been given a brand new start.
YOU DID IT! YOU DID IT! my blessed friend you have wonderfully came to be,
a blessing by sharing your gift with others and also for me.
You deserve this day and so much more...be proud and be content of what God has done for you.
I will keep on praying that you will be more blessed because you deserve it too!
I love you and I am very proud of you!

Thank you Cindy so much, it means the world to me!

I love my friends, and the encouragement they give me. They are a blessing on both the days that I am doubting myself, and the days I'm celebrating the talents God gave me. Enjoy and cherish your friends, you never know when their strengths will be a blessing for you!

New Treasuries!

2010-05-10T12:45:00.000-04:00

I hope everyone had a great mothers day! I had a wonderful day yesterday with my family. The girls all went out to lunch at a restaurant called the Mezzaluna. It was wonderful. My daughter paid for my lunch, and she got me a much needed electric can opener... My manual died on me the other day, and all I had was one left over from what feels like a hundred years ago. I used my new can opener today, and its wonderful! I also got a white chocolate tulip from my favorite chocolate place, Hilliards. Very Yummy!

There are 3 treasuries from yesterday! Please check them out!

This one was chosen by me, called We Love Our Moms

I created this one as well, called We Love MOM!

This last one was created by Whatshername, called Treasure Hunt

I hope you enjoy them, and have a great week!

Hi everyone,
I have a ton of peaches and creme 1lb cones ...aran color only..and i'm trying to get rid of the...no cost for the yarn, and you only have to pay for the shipping. The shipping is cheapest if you go with the priority box..it only holds one cone and it is $9.60 to anywhere in usa. If anyone is interested please contact me. And it you want more than one, then we can try and figure out how to get them to you for as cheap as possible.

Autism Awareness

2010-03-31T18:06:00.002-04:00

I created a treasury, "april is autism awareness month". This isn't the treasury I'll be featured in, but one I put up myself. It's just something fun for autism awareness month.

view my treasury

I should have 3 new crochet patterns up on Etsy either tonight or tomorrow morning. I created a beanie, the frog prince, and I created 2 capes, with the help of my friend Rebecca Goldsmith. Click here for Rebecca's shop
There are more items to come soon. I'll soon be working on my Alice in Wonderland series some more, and I have a couple of other items in the making as well.

I hope you have a wonderful easter weekend!

April is Autism Awareness Month

2010-03-25T14:39:00.000-04:00

April is Autism Awareness month. Many of you may not know but I have a sweet, fun loving 14 year old son named Zachary who has Down Syndrome and Autism. He is the youngest of my 3 children, and the only one still at home. He is a joy to be around. Zachary's disabilities have taught my whole family a lot about patience and understanding.
I will be donating 10% of all my sales for the month of April to Zachary's school, the Cape Cod Collaborative in Dennis.
I will also be featured in a treasury on Etsy, which will be comming up in the beginning of April. When the treasury is up, I will post the link.

Keep Your Eyes Pealed!

2010-03-18T14:01:00.000-04:00

New Sales coming soon! I will be posting every couple of days a color. For that day only, if you purchase a pattern from Etsy with that color in it, you will get it half off. Just pay the full price, and I will refund you 50% of the sale price, on items containing the specific color only. Enjoy!

I am still busy working on some items for Annie's Attic, but hopefully I'll be back to writing more patterns for Etsy soon.

Have a great day!

Time For Something New

2010-03-11T16:21:00.000-05:00

Today I am trying something new. Blogging. With the help of my daughter I'll be posting new blogs every few days to update you on whats new and upcoming. Keep you're eyes peeled, I'll be posting my new patterns here first. I'll be giving out a code word to put in the notes for a discount on the new pattern. The discount will only be available for 7 days from the date the pattern is originally listed on ETSY.

I am currently working on a new series: Alice in Wonderland! So far I have the Mad Hatter and the White Rabbit cocoon sets up for sale on ETSY. I will be working on the Queen of Hearts next, and possibly an Alice cocoon as well.

I will also be working on some easter ideas. I will keep you posted!

I think thats it for today!
