Hello!

It’s been awhile since I’ve updated my site, and I’m going to try to start doing it on a regular basis. Hopefully I can stick to that! I also need to get back on track with my book reviews. I read so many books last year and only reviewed a few of them. I’ve been re-reading a few books already this year so I don’t know if I should review them or not, but there are some really good books so far that I should!

I did a bunch of commission work last year, and I currently have a big one in the works for when I can get the current 2 blankets I have on the go finished. I would start it right away but I need to get these blankets done first. One is a blanket for a school auction (making a Minecraft Creeper blanket) and the other is a baby blanket for a friend who is due in April. So what’s the commission piece? A Monopoly game board blanket 🙂 I’m really excited to make it!! I bought the pattern plus 2 others (cross stitch ones though) so I can make sure I get all the pieces how I want them. It’s going to take me 3-4 months most likely to get this done, but I’ve told my friend that and he understands.

I’m so excited to get my business running, I’ve gotten a logo (which is up on the site yay!) and I also have business cards and thank you cards for orders. My Facebook page and Instagram need some more love but I’m gonna work on that!

What to see what I’ve been working on these past few months? Well I’m gonna show you anyways LOL. I did 3 cardigans for my cousins daughers, 5 pumpkin hats for friends (I’m nly showing you 3 because the other 2 are the same as one of them), a Rainbow of Stars baby blanket and I started the Ubuntu CAL. I still have to finish the Ubuntu CAL but I’m not too worried about it. I have SO many WIPs (work in progress) though so I need to get on finishing them too XD

I have a craft retreat coming up the first weekend in February (only 1 week away!!!) and I plan on taking only my crochet projects with me so I can hopefully *crosses fingers* get a few completed. Last retreat I didn’t do any crochet, I just worked on my cricut (OH YEAH I got a Cricut last year 🙂 ) and cards. I have a lot more cricut projects that I want to do but I have to put those on the back burner until I have some crochet projects finished. I don’t want to start any more crochet projects until I’ve finished at LEAST 4 of them. Wishful thinking I know. I’ll probably start a new one in a few weeks anyways LOL.

I’m going to try to update during the retreat, but we’ll see if I remember LOL

Updates

I haven’t updated in a while, I’ve been so busy with crafting and reading books that I haven’t even thought of updating the site. I haven’t even done my reviews! I have about 17 reviews to do so I need to get on those. Right now my life is consumed with World of Warcraft though LOL. The new expansion Battle for Azeroth came out on Monday and I’ve been playing it nonstop when I’m not working or sleeping. I got my first level 120 character (my hunter) yesterday and I started leveling my priest as well. Jessica and I have been pvping (Player vs Player) since Tuesday and it is SO MUCH FUN. I love pvp again and being able to kill Alliance players is so satisfying.

We decided to go back to Horde this expansion, last expansion we played mainly Alliance and that was fun but I missed my Horde characters and I am a follower of Sylvanas forever so OF COURSE I had to go Horde this time. The zones to level in are so beautiful and there are so many dinosaurs to tame on my hunter that I may need to abandon some old pets at some point. Or level another hunter so I can tame more pets on it lol.

I’ve been working on cardigans for my cousins daughters and I’ll be making one for my little as well. So I have 4 to make. I’m almost done 2 of them, just need to sew sleeves on one and do the edging and sleeves on the 2nd one. I’m thinking about leaving the sleeves on all 4 of them until I can do them all at once. I need to watch a video for it so it might make it easier to do it all at once so I don’t forget the technique.

I’m going to be updating my WoW page to put in my addons and some more pictures and things. I might also put some guild info on there as well. I know people don’t really come to my site often, so the info would just be for me really which is fine.

OH I got a Cricut in July and I’ve been making SO many things with it. I’m in love with making vinyl creations and I also got leather to make earrings. I’ve gotten alot of blanks to put decals on and my little and I are thinking about doing a craft fair next year with things we make. We need to get stock built up for it though and that takes money which is why we’re going to be doing it next year. I tried to add the photos of what I’ve made so far but WordPress is putting them on the post and on a page I tried to make all funny. I’ve posted all my stuff on Instagram so if you’re curious you can check them out there 🙂

I also finished my Harry Potter blanket!!! It took me forever because it has been way to hot to work on it and I had to do border panels. When I finished it ith the border around the tunisian squares I realized I was going to have to make the panels because the top and bottom were curling a lot. Even after steam blocking they still curled. But now it’s all finished and ready to be shipped.



I think that’s all I’ve done in the past few months. I’ve been ordering way too much yarn lately and I have a craft retreat coming up in October so I’ll try to post what I make there. I’m also going to work on the book reviews once I get time and the game is settled down for me.
