Hey guys please let me know how the volume is? It might be a bit loud this time. If it is let me know and next week I will lower it to a reasonable level. Still working out the bugs. I normally use my video to Skype with my design partner [...]

Needless to say when I announced my focus word this year, I didn’t expect it to be tested so soon. Over a week and a half ago, I was in the shower doing my normal routine of waiting for the dishwasher to finish its cycle, starting the washer, hopping into the shower between the fill [...]

I’ve been scurring around with my head buried in a pattern trying to meet a deadline that arrives Saturday. Thankfully its all done and I’m sighing with relief that I can enjoy my weekend at the beach without four footed creatures without a care.

Its been a long 2 weeks since I posted last about my WIPs. That week before Thanksgiving, I ran around like a crazy squirrel storing up nuts for the impending doom. Ok well thanksgiving is not doom but great awesomeness with yummy treats. The doom is Black Friday. I really dislike [...]

I’ve been working hard at my design and I’m almost done. YEAH!!!
Mostly the Secret Squirrel Design Project has been worked on, but ….. The cowl was started because I needed something easy for a dinner party. Snow white was started because I was annoyed after frogging 5 days of work on my Secret Squirrel [...]

I finished the hem of Flair on Sunday evening, since then I have stalled on the sleeve. Flair is coming out rather slim, its going to be more cardigan than jacket so I have decided to go with the blue buttons from the post last Wednesday. I am nervous but I seem to [...]
