Pattern Addiction

I've gotta admit, that I love collecting patterns of all kinds.  Lately, I've been adding to my collection with these very fun pattern books.  Anything, needlework related, I probably have it. My little stash just keeps on growing.

I'm always on a search for a style that looks fun to wear. My favorite book store in town offers a large selection, including a wonderful selection of sewing/knitting and crochet magazines. And yes, I have a collection of those, as well. I saw this book,  "Knit your own Dog".  It's just too, too cute!  The chapters are named after the class, such as: The Working Dogs, The Sporting Dogs, etc. This is a must have for dog lovers or for those who would love to own one. I did resist the temptation to buy it.  Well just for now.

I've even ventured off to creating my own patterns. This may not cure my "addiction", it may just be the beginning of a new one. Oh Well!  I continue to have fun, doing what I enjoy most ! -- Nancy

It's Sew You!







Life is Like Knitting

New to Blogging and a New Website

Why am I blogging? Well, I've decided to try a few different things this year. Opening up my website selling my handmade items and venturing off to doing this. Thought the two would work well together, so I can share my experiences. My Grand Opening was on January 15, 2010. My husband surprised me with some beautiful flowers and a bottle of champagne. Within the first week, I got my first sale. Yaaaay!! For the many years that I've sewn for myself and family, crocheted and knitted gifts for family and friends, I've decided to give it a "shot" and sell it online. It's truly a "labor of love" for me, doing all this "stuff". I've been blessed to have the love and support from my family.



Each day I will work on something different to add to my website. It may not be finished the same day, but at least I've started . My "Culinary Crochet" collection will eventually grow. My "Faux Sushi" is popular, and today, I'm working on a crocheted "dessert dish".



Tomorrow, I hope to start another project.
