Little Piggy + Ravelry

Happy Monday everyone!

Yesterday I finished my next project: a little piggy. It's about 9.5 inches tall. Here are some first pictures. I still need to take some more pictures and write up the pattern before I can put it up on Etsy and Ravelry. I hope to accomplish that sometime this week. So keep looking out for that. 

I just recently signed up for Ravelry (two days ago). Here is my page: http://www.ravelry.com/people/lakfletcher And as I am exploring Ravelry more I have to say that I start liking it more and more. It really gives you a lot of different things to do and helps you wonderfully to keep track of all your projects and supplies. I still like Etsy very much, but I like how Ravelry is specifically made for knitting and crocheting which really makes the content more interesting to me. I will let you know how it keeps working out for me. 

Also, somebody else listed my Santa Jack Skellington pattern in their Treasury on Etsy. You can find their Treasury here: http://www.etsy.com/treasury/OTQxMDQwM3w1NDY4NzYzNzc/the-pumpkin-king?index=0

I'm not quite sure what my next project will be, I am in the process of figuring that out. I'm liking the idea of making a butterfly. But we will see. In any way I know that I need to start making the Christmas presents, so if anything else fails, I will always have that to work on. ;)

Have a great week everybody!

Featured on Etsy! and other updates

Hey everybody!
How is your summer going? It's really hot here so I'm pretty much chained to the inside :( But I am trying to use that time to work on my crochet dolls.
Today I got featured in an Etsy Treasury with my Santa Jack Pattern that I finished recently :) You can check that out here: http://www.etsy.com/treasury/MTU5MzI1ODB8NTQzMzE3NDky/jack-skellington

Also, here is an update what I have been working on. My newest project is a cute little piggy and I am almost done. I just need to figure out how to do the face. Haven't quite decided yet. So if you have any good ideas, let me know! For now I have just marked where the eyes need to go.

I also need ideas on what to work on after I'm done with the pig, so bring on the ideas!

I know it is still the middle of summer, but I am already gonna start working on the Christmas presents for this year (a bunch of people are gonna get handmade things). When do you guys start worrying about Christmas presents? Are you making some or buying all? Share your thoughts! Tweet

Santa Jack Skellington

Hey everybody.
He's finally here; meet Santa Jack! After working on him for a long time, he's finally done. Over the next day or two I will be working on putting the pattern together in a pdf and hopefully having it on Etsy by the end of the week. I also need to take more pictures, but in the meantime, here are the first couple ones I took. Please feel free to leave comments and tell me what you think!

Have a great night everybody!

I know it's been a while / give away

I know it's been a while once again since I posted last. But between being pregnant, working and remodeling a home I really was quite busy and exhausted. 

But here is some good news: Santa Jack is almost done!!!! The only thing left for me to do is to finish his beard and do the belt buckle. So I will have pictures up later this week. And I hope that I can put the pattern on Etsy sometime this weekend. 

With this project coming to a close, this is your last chance to enter my contest: Guess how tall Santa Jack got. The person whose guess is closest to the actual height will win one free Santa Jack pattern! 

While you're here, please take some time to visit my Etsy store and my Facebook page.

Thanks for stopping by, 

I'll see you in a few days with pictures!

Wow

Wow, I can't believe how long it's been since my last post. I want to sincerely apologize for that and promise to try and do better in the future. Since my last post a lot of things have happened that got me sidetracked for a while.
Next to other things, we bought a house that needs to be completely renovated an we found out that I am pregnant. So tons of things happening.
But I do miss crocheting and I plan on returning to work after I get home today. You have not missed any progress. I am still working on the Santa Jack Skellington, and believe me I can't wait to finish it!

With this post I also want to thank all the people who have bought my patterns on Etsy. Thank you so much! That really means a lot to me.
