Media Studio
I have recently acquired much of the equipment needed for a photo and video studio. I have a camera, tripod, boom, micro phones, lights, and even a light box. While I am very much enjoying having and using this equipment, it is not where my skills are strongest. I shoot my own videos and theContinue reading “Media Studio”
Welcome 2022! Wow…
I know my last post said “See you in November” and I’m sorry it has taken so long to get something up here. Moving in and getting settled into a new house, in a new town took a little longer than I expected and then it was time for Christmas. Well that is all overContinue reading “Welcome 2022! Wow…”
See you in November!
Sometimes we do things; things that wee don’t want to do but know it is the right or responsible thing to do. Right now, this post is one of those things for me. I really don’t want to do this but for the sake of my mental health and the quality of the content here,Continue reading “See you in November!”
It Finally Clicked!
Even as a seasoned knitter, sometimes, something so simple can flummox me. Steven West’s Bubble Shawl did just that. The first time I tried this shawl was in March of 2019. For details on yarn and needle size, see my project page. It was the second year my daughter and I decided to start aContinue reading “It Finally Clicked!”

Because of that you will also see myContinue reading “I’m a designer and a maker”

This past week Pam Grice, the Crochetpreneur offered a Crochet Business Summit. One level was freeContinue reading “Harder than I thought.”
Slacker…
I have had patterns self published to Ravelry since 2012. In that time I have sold a total of 18 patterns. Not much to show for 8 year of work. Toward the end of last year I decided to get serious about my writing and publishing; I took a couple of classes on line, evenContinue reading “Slacker…”
I’ve been busy…
I have done a bit of dyeing, designing, finished the last animal for my Beginning Ami class, done some testing and tech editing as well as working on some of my own designs. Some of the other testing I have been doing isn’t available to share yet. I will be sharing those when the designerContinue reading “I’ve been busy…”
Crochet Dragon Part 1
I posted a new video on YouTube today. In it I detail the yarn that Mom surprised me with this week and the pattern I will be using with that yarn. Here is a random picture the camera took during filming; I’m still learning what to do when and how. I am using a NikonContinue reading “Crochet Dragon Part 1”
