My Dirty Little Secret

Lisa | January 28, 2009

Is this a crochet post? No. But, something about me, and maybe even you. It is my dirty little secret, and maybe yours too.
Everyone has one. Some more than one.. and some say they do not have a secret, but I bet they do…  I did mention my “dirty little secret” in a past post, [...]

Child’s Play – A New Idea

Lisa | January 22, 2009

I do not think I ever mentioned, but Fire Child is a little artist. She loves to be creative – from playing with yarn, to painting oceans. (By the way, she turned 4 not too long ago). I remember one instance, at Christmas time, we were watching a tv special, a santa one, and she [...]

So like, it was cold. Oh, and a new pattern!

Lisa | January 17, 2009

Well, we got hit again, of course… The cold.. oh so very cold. The other day woke up and it was reading 52 degrees in the house. Called the landlord. We had 2 pipes frozen… even the dog’s water bowl was frozen solid, if that tells you anything! So he came over, and we worked [...]

Criticize My Submission Proposal!

Lisa | January 12, 2009

Have you always wondered what other designer’s submissions look like? Are you a new designer wanting to submit something somewhere? Are you a seasoned designer, but with a curiosity of how others “do it?” Are you a customer who always wondered what all of this is about? Maybe at some point you have pondered about [...]

Give a little bit…

Lisa | January 11, 2009

Remember this song from Supertramp? Here are some of the lyrics:
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me

Ill give a little bit of my love to you
Theres so much that we need to share
So send a smile and show you care
Anyway, a lovely lady Linda Permann, a crafter, [...]

Lace, lace, I want More.

Lisa | January 10, 2009

Yesterday I spoke about lace weight yarn… I ordered some from Knit Picks not too long ago, right when I knew for sure I wanted to experiment making more garments with lace yarn. Fire child is happily displaying the goods. Water child was at swim practice, so he was unable to see the treasure.
I was [...]

Lace, anyone? Dragonfly

Lisa | January 9, 2009

My mind has been going in numerous directions this past week. First, I need a new sketch book. Last one is now filled… I am being cheap though, and so a 10 cent spiral notebook will have to suffice. The ideas blasted me so much that my once white, pristine sketchbook is now laden [...]

Happy New Year!

Lisa | January 1, 2009

Happy New year to everyone!!!
Cannot believe it- another year has gone by. I have never made New year’s Resolutions before. Not because I had not wanted to, but mostly because it alway seemed like the new year crept up without notice, and with my “all or nothing” mentality, I always felt resolutions had to be [...]
