The past few weeks have been… busy. While I’ve manged to find the 15 seconds to snap a picture as projects progress, I haven’t had the time to edit and post stuff. The office got clean… but before I could take some the appropriate pictures there was an influx of possession that used […]more…
Lazy Friday – Sibling Bonding
Today I’m taking a break from crocheting…not that I’ve had any time for that lately, but it’s for a very good reason. For as close as my brother and I were as kids we didn’t get along very much as teens. In our early 20’s we were at least speaking to each other […]more…
Lazy Friday – State of the Office
The past few weeks have been very rough of my office. There were several projects with deadlines that stacked on top of each other and it became a game of shifting stuff around in order to just finish the project at hand. Now that I have the Easter eggs, six graduation ribbon leis, a […]more…
Lazy Friday – Life Outside
This week was a little “warm” for even for April in Southern California so my trek around the neighborhood with the camera was cut short a bit short. Still it was nice to get some sunshine and bring home a few new inspiration pictures. I don’t use my macro lens often enough in my […]more…
Lazy Friday – Adding to the Hoard
I always love when large boxes full of yarn arrive at my door. This shipment is a little larger than normal… but not everything in the boxes is for me… just most of it. There are another 5 cones of yarn not pictured for my mother’s projects, which I’ll hold hostage until she visits… […]more…
Lazy Friday – All the Shades of Fabric
Even if I have a vision of a finished project deciding on just the right fabric to pair with the crocheted squares is tricky and I seem to always stall at this stage. At least I’ve managed to find “matches” for four of them even if I’m still debating the final selection on the […]more…
Lazy Friday – Slow Progress
Sadly as much as I wanted to get this square done, along with a half dozen other things, it just did not happen. This week has been a little crazy with time for crocheting few and far between… and sadly next week doesn’t look much better. On the plus side I have another pattern […]more…
Lazy Friday – A Pile of Pillows
One of the downsides of developing a large pattern inventory is the unsold pillows and pillowcases that begin to stack up in my office. Its not all bad, but at the same time I want them to go find new homes just because I didn’t create them to live in fuzz reducing bags in […]more…
Lazy Friday – The Naming of Patterns
For me the hardest part of designing a new pattern is giving it a name. This is the start of the second square of a new pattern and even now I have no idea what it will be called. I had been using my “good china” as a prop for photographing a friend’s jewelry […]more…
