This week has been very productive for me so far. I have posted a new item, organized some of my yarn and applied to a bunch of jobs. I have also started a new project that I said I wasn't going to do in my goals. I have a tendency to get distracted by great new projects and when something feels right I can't stop, even when I should.
I think I have gotten the bulk of new creation obsession out of my system and am ready to get back to business.
As far as getting my projects in order and into a calendar, I am a little behind. I have at least identified my projects that need to be finished and when they need to be finished. I have yet to put them into a calendar. My projects include, current granny square blanket, tiny cakes, and purses.
The tiny cakes are my newest obsession. I found a pattern for a large cake and thought, hey why not make it smaller! Blogger is having a problem uploading my pictures unfortunately. They are not completely finished and I hope to have a full blog post about them and how I will be selling them either later tonight or tomorrow morning.
I also plan to have my calendar done by tomorrow as well.
Its been a while since I've posted and I wanted to bring you up to date on some of the things I've been working on. right now I have several projects that i am working on. One is an extra large blanket for my friend jay. It's inspired by an extra large blanket that I made a long time ago( actually it was my first blanket ever!). It sits on out round chair in our living room and everyone uses it to curl up with. Jay was sooo in love with it he wanted one of his own! His is black and red to match his masculine bachelor pad!
The pictures I have included are of the inspiration(black and white) and the new blanket in progress. When it is finished I will definitely post a picture for everyone to see!
Also I am working on putting items together for an Etsy seller who is doing some craft fairs and will sell my stuff on consignment. Its the first time I am doing this so hopefully it works out. I'm so glad she is offering this because I definitely don't have time to do fairs.
I hope to post the work to show everyone before I ship it off!
If you like anything that I post here, I do take custom order. Please send me an email and I will work with you through every single step! aniemancrochet@gmail.com
I'm very poud of this baby blanket. It is my first time making a blanket from the granny square stitch. I have made granny squares but have never made a whole blanket with the stitch. This yarn is great too. I found it on sale at Joanns. Its the Lion Brand 100% Premium Acrylic which I thought was a great find; perfect for a childs blanket. It is soft and machine washable.
Please leave me some feed back on it as well as my other items!
