Back To Doodling
I'm back to doodling today.
I actually have something in mind but I'm not real sure about it, so I am just doodling a little bit to give me a more broad concept of what I am envisioning.
I am not really good when it comes to working with fine thread when I crochet. The stitches are not consistently the same size, so this too gives me the opportunity to work on this area. I think it is because I don't work in this element enough to perfect it to my liking.
If anyone has a secret to how they obtain consistency with their stitches with a really fine thread, I'm all ears.
Maybe about another hour of this and I will call it a day.
I had planned to have a garage sale today, but I woke up a little late, so I will attempt again next week or tomorrow.
I think I am becoming a night owl, my sleeping patterns are changing and I seem to be staying up later because something comes to mind and I have to attack it at that very moment. I am actually sleeping in, that's like, sinful for me.
I was able to put together another vintage pattern last night. This one I did not complete, but I will in the future. I am thinking I will modify it with a 4 ply yarn and use the pattern but adjust the size to make an ipad holder or something like that.
It was interesting because you use buckram, (which I have never heard of before, shows you how much I sew), which appears to me to be a very sturdy material. I think the stability of this material will make a great purse, as pictured, but also a great case for ipads, computers and what not.
I love the pattern on this purse. What really intrigues me is the bow. Gives me ideas on ways to use my vintage jewelry.
What do you think?
I haven't put this in my Etsy store yet, but you can always click on the Etsy banner at the bottom of the page to check, and it should be there in a couple of days.
Until then, have a great weekend and see you Monday,
Debra

Heirloom Crochet Christmas Ornaments Patterns
I am excited to bring to you my new pattern for Elegant Heirloom Crochet Christmas Ornaments. These are crocheted with such a great fiber.
Once crocheted you can add your bead work, embroidery work, trinkets handed down or items you want to hand down by embellishing your ornaments to give an everlasting gift to a loved one.
You can find this pattern here:
I love working with this fiber. I just couldn't get enough of it. The richness and feel is just exquisite.
The simplicity of the pattern combined with your embellishments and/or embroidery work will make this a prized possession for the tree.
Enjoy,
Debra
