Calendar of Events- What is First on My List?
I have been think about how and when I am going to finish all the projects I have started. I set up a preliminary time table for the leftover projects. I posted some projects that I had finished, having one blanket left that I may end up selling prior to posting it online. NowI have those out of the way I an start concentrating on my unfinished projects.
First on my list are my tiny cakes. I am considering these items as part of Valentines Day as they are going to be marketed for weddings so their completion date is February 1rst. Wedding season is slowly creeping up on us and will be in full swing in April May June and July. They bridal shows have already started meaning newly engaged couples are already planning.
Completion of the tiny cakes includes finishing all details, organizing how and at what price I will sell them and posting them on Etsy and on my blog as well. This will probably be my most complex items to order custom so I will need to get out all the kinks in my descriptions prior to hitting the "add a new item" button.
Soon I will be posting on the blog all the details for young brides and wedding planners to order their party favors or tiny crocheted cakes.
Next I will need to market wisely during this time, concentrating mainly on wedding/ party sites. I also plan on marketing them as party favors for other events, as well as center pieces and name cards. I am sinking a lot into these little guys so hopefully they will be the next big trend!

New Items Posted!
I finally finished my purses! My purses have been one of my forgotten projects. I finished added the last touches to two of them yesterday and today they have been added to my shop.
They are both made form the same pattern concept. I say concept because I have a serious problem following patterns. I usually end up with a great final project but a lot of times the space in between start and finish is a head ache. So I have stopped using patterns for directions but more inspiration.
These two purses are made in a simple two piece concept; one is the strap, the other the body. Inside is lined with fabric usually from the scrap section of the fabric store( I hate wasted fabric).
I will hopefully have more of these purses in my shop in the coming months. Now I can cross off finishing these purses from my forgotten projects list.

Free Crochet Patterns
Some crocheters who are well aware of free pattern sites may already know of Crochet Pattern Central. For those that are not aware, it is a complete free site that houses a wide variety of crochet patterns. There are several categories to choose from. Some of the patterns are quite traditional but if you are looking for the basics it is a great resource.
I use it for all the simple item requests I get. Right now I am using it to find a belt pattern for my boy friend. It is great for beginners to find patterns to learn by. I suggest that if you do not want to pay for your patterns try this site first.
It can be hard to search at times. It has links to other sites where the free patterns reside. There are not very many pictures. With a little bit of time you can find quite a bit of fun stuff and its free.
Happy Crocheting!
