Dream Big and Create

Do you crochet? Do you do it beacuse you love it or is it your way of making an income? I crochet and I do it for the love of the art of creating.  I'll be honest, I make some money, not enough to quit my day job.  Yet!  I have dreams that one day I will be able to spend my whole day just creating and crocheting away. 
When i started on this journey a little over a year ago the only thing I wanted to do was learn to crochet a sock monkey hat for our newest addition.  That was it.  I tell you social media has power, more power than I thought was possible.  I went from sharing my first ever creation to selling my first item within a month.  I didn't have a crochet page on facebook or a blog.  I just wanted to share my new skill with my friends and family.  I was so proud of what I had learned. The second I picked up that crochet hook, I was hooked.  It came so naturally to me I didn't want to stop.  A few short months after I learned to crochet I decided to start a page on Facebook.  Not to sell my items, just to showoff my work.  I thought a least this way family and friends on Facebook wouldn't be bombarded with my creations unless they wanted to see them.  Well before i knew it i was completely booked up with orders from sept till march.  I have found my true passion, yarn and a hook it just inspires me to create.  In the last few months i have dipped my toes into the designing world, desining new pieces and writting patterns.  I truley love it.  Its so much work but seeing others create and love my patterns drives me to want to create more.  Wow, it has been a crazy year.  I step back now and take a look at all that I have accomplished in the span of 1 short year and I have no words.  No words for the endless support of family and friends, other crochet artists and pages out there that continue to support me in what I do.  

Teez Winter Wonder

Wow,  I just can't believe it.  I have grown so much in the last year.  I started to crochet maybe a year ago.  I have been so crazy busy with orders that I haven't had time to stop and and appreciate how much I have grown and how far I have come.  I never imagined I would venture into starting a small business.  I am so grateful to all that follow my work and all the amazing support I have receieved on this journey.  I'm so excited to share with you all one of my very own creations.  The Teez Winter Wonder pattern has been released.  My heart went into learning to write patterns and I spent every moment I could trying to ensure this pattern was as perfect as I could get it.  I never thought much of writing patters when I started on this journey.  I truly never knew how much work it would be.  I have learned so very much over the last few months.  Thank you everyone who encouraged me to write this pattern.  I am hoping to publish a few more patterns this year.  So if you love my work be sure to continue to follow me!  Here is the link where you can find my pattern http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/crocheting/accessory/teez-winter-wonder/126706

Row 4 -  DC in blo above 1st DC and all the way across (make sure you DC in last stitch which is the chain 2.  In the last chain 2 go through both loops.  Not just back loop) chain 2, turn.

Row 6 - BPDC 2 times around second BPDC skip next BPDC and repeat across (last chain 2 DC through both loops.) Chain 2 and turn.
Row 7 - BPDC around First BPDC FPDC (Front post double crochet) around next repeat to the end.  (Again make sure to DC through both loops of last chain 2) chain 2 turn
Row 8 - HDC in blo above first BPDC.  HDC in blo in every stitch across. (make sure in last chain 2 go through both loops with HDC)  Chain 2 turn

Row 26 - DC all across in blo don't forget last chain 2, chain 2, turn
Row 27 and 28 -Repeat row 26
Finally 1 SC all around your cowl to give it a nice finish.  Do 3 SC in each corner, tie off your ends and weave them in.  add your buttons where you want them.  And your done.  
Good luck and thanks for checking out my pattern. 
You are free to sell and make this cowl but please it would be nice if you could link the pattern to me.  I would love to see how yours turns out. 
Happy Hooking from

I Never Knew

Well,  I never knew the things I would he able to do when I grew up.  I suppose I always knew I loved to craft and create things,  but I never invisioned the love I have for crochet.  I just love the fact that I can create these beautiful pieces.  I didn't start on this journey very long ago and I honestly am so surprised with how far I have come.  I still have so much to learn but I look forward to every new project that shows up at my door.  It's so funny every time I start something new I can't wait to finish it and when i'm done I can't wait to start the next one.  This Anna hat turned out so amazing,  I knew it would turn out but had no ides that it would look this good.  Live your life to the fullest everyone and I truly hope you all have found or do find your passion.  I have to say when you find it just jump right in,  you won't regret doing what you love. 

A little Love

So I made this hat for an order I had.  Wow,  it was honestly the hardest item I've made to part with.  It is just beautiful and Super soft.  I will most definitely be making one for myself for this coming winter.
I was given a picture of this hat or actually one that was similar,  however it was knitted and as of now I only do crochet.  I haven't yet wondered into the knitting world.  I really was not sure I would be able to pull this one off.   All I could do was go with what I have learned and try to do my best.  Well apparently,  I'm pretty good at this.  When I started on this journey I never imagined creating these pieces without a pattern.  I have come so far in such a short amount of time.  The best advise I can give to you all is to do something you absolutely love,  your passion for your work will truly take you somewhere you may never have imagined you would go.  Love what you do and do what you love......
