Oh my, I couldn't resist! Seriously, though, folks, stay safe, we still have tonight to get through before temps swing back too far the other way.

My latest completed project for myself. Pattern is from book Ultimate Book of Pineapples by Annie's Attic. It seems every time I finish something I get a request for something else. Next project: 26" doilies done in Aunt Lydia's Classic Light Peach using patterns from Absolutely Gorgeous Doilies by Leisure Arts.

Whew, I really am bad at updating about my little business here. I've been spending time working on orders for friends and relatives and experimenting with different things along with learning to create/write patterns. Since I have dogs and smokers in my house, I decided that due to possible allergy issues it would not be wise to sell the finished product unless of course the person buying is well aware of the dogs and smokers and doesn't mind. I do keep my working projects in cases with lids when I'm not working on them to minimize the effects of my environment. Thus why I learned to create/write patterns, so someone crafty like me can make them :) I am currently working up my patterns for a finished product to use for pictures so one can see what they're going to make. Thank you all for your interest in my site despite my lack of communication. Keep checking the etsy site as I will be posting my completed patterns soon and posting them on Etsy for sale and download.

Well, finished the Minion hats for my niece's boys.....they loved 'em! Got an order for and made a hatchetman hat, too. While making those, I got an order for a hatchetman blanket. I have now started on that and should be done in a couple weeks. Maybe then I can finally get some stuff for sale up on my Etsy shop. Kinda hard to make the stuff that takes only a day or two to make when my current project takes at least a few weeks, working on it every day, to finish. But, blankets from me aren't cheap and the guy really wanted it. Again, another piece I designed myself from pics on the net and size and colors chosen by the customer. Just from the colors he picked, its going to be fantastic! I know he'll like it because he wanted it to look just like the one I made for my son with only minor changes. I'll have to remember to bring my camera when it gets delivered, he's gonna be so happy :) Hmm, all this hatchetman stuff....thinking I should put some of those in my Etsy shop. Will post pics here once they're done.

Well, never did complete the MSU blanket for myself but I did the hatchetman and the hats. I have an Etsy.com shop which I am finally getting going on. Picture taking tomorrow and then posting the items in my Etsy shop for sale. Basically hats, gloves and neck warmers premade with things like blankets and sweaters to be made through custom order. Those things take a long time to make and size is a very important factor, so it would be best to make those as ordered. I do have pictures of some I made for myself. You've already seen the blankets so here is the hooded sweater I made for me. I am no longer working a full-time job, so look for updates more often.

Well, I finally completed another blanket. This one was for my husband who is a huge University of Michigan fan. Check it out. Since this is a patented item, I cannot sell it but I can sell a blanket with those same colors and pattern. It fits a queen size bed very nicely. Now I'm in the process of making a matching one for me.....except it's for a better university, Michigan State! I also have orders for a hatchetman blanket and a couple hats, so I'll be a very busy girl.

I apologize to all who have visited and found nothing. I have been busy caring for my injured son which has taken most of my time. I have been working on a couple projects. I will be posting pictures soon so you can check them out. Thank you for your patience
