Back to one of my favorite crafts making graphics to use in scrapbooking.

This all started last week when I wanted to make my own business cards. So I hopped on youtube and just did some research then I saw the stuff you can do with scrapbooking and card making and a lovely machine called the Silhouette. So I downloaded their software so i could get a feel for it before the machine showed up. Then I thought... Why am I looking for things that are already made. I have been doing some form of graphics work for almost 10 years now. Just as a hobby. So last night I made my first silhouette file. ANd it is for sale for 2 dollars it is an instant download so you get it right then and there. There will be many more to come. This is one of my all time favorite things to do next to crochet. So if ya like it an want it click the link under the picture and the file is all yours. if you want a custom color I will be setting that up as well.

Burning that midnight oil...

This is just random chatter for now. The walls do not seem to want to talk tonight so, I figured walk you you fine people.

I do not think I will be seeing any sleep tonight due to a nap that ran too ong today. So I shall burn the midnight oil and try to get this beautiful baby blanket done. So tomorrow I can start on my first big order. Hope all is well with you out there is cyber land.

Part one of the baby set I will be selling

Here is started a baby blanket set for a little girl. 

It will have a hat, booties and this blanket, that I started not too long ago.


So what's on your hook?

Today ws MLK day here so the kids were home and I had a second Sunday. ANd boy did I need it. I am beat this week for some strange reason. So today i am doing something easy just a grahgan.. Now I know there are a ton of people saying a graphgan how in the hotcakes is that easy. Well i am doing it tunisian blocks and joining as I go. Nothing really hard. And when you do the tunisian stitch for the graphgans you only need to read the graph from right to left not back and forth. Makes my life a bunch easier. So lets see what you are working on! 

Here is what I am doing and the graph I made for this very large blanket!

i am starting the G-MAN SQUARES TODAY

Need to take a time out to help my family. As in the last post I wanted to start a fundraiser for my cousin Garran. Well today I got to work getting helpers with the squares. And only after a couple hours I am already up to 10! HOW SWEET IS THAT? So just incase you have not heared me run my mouth the past 24 hours. I am making a granny square blanket with squares from myself and very kind others that want to help and donate some time and squares. I know there are people out there that would love to help but are not a happy hooker or are just learning. So below is my fundraising site to help raise money to make the square. And whatever is not used for the fundraiser. IE yarn and shipping goes to garran's family. So grab a hook and yarn or grab your credit card and help out a cause that is very dear to me. Helping an amazing young man live a full and happy life!

LETS GET GMAN HIS NEW LUNGS!

Help G-man out!

Ok here is the skinny of this. I have an amazing cousin, His name is Garran. He has CF. We we just found out that he needs to have his second lung transplant. And that aint cheep. And being as broke as I am sending money is not really going to do anything. But I do have a talent with yarn and I was thinking hey Lets do something. So I figured get the hooks ready. I want to see if I can get enough people together to crochet a square i will put it together and then we can ebay the blanket and all the money made can go to Garran and his family. So who is with me lets help G-Man out!



Below is the link to donate to him as well.

What to do with the finished product of all these lovely square?

So as i am sitting at my craft/ work table it hit me what am I going to do with this very large blanket i will be making at the end of the year with alol these squares I am making. And so I thought I would ask you. YES YOU! What do you think I should do. I was thinking of doing a raffle for it and Pick the winner On the first or second of January of next year. My husband thinks i should sell it. Or i could always donate it to a charity in CNY. So i ask you what do you think is a good idea for this big ol blanket we will have at the end of the year?

Just a small shake up.

After having a chat with my business advisors, I got scoled for posting my patterns for free. So to keep the peace I will be charging a small fee for each pattern. 2 US dollars at the most. I am doing this to keep the peace here.But do not fret I will be doing a weekly raffle (yes each week) for all the patterns of that week.

This is how it will work. I will set up an email link for you to send me to enter the raffle. I will then email you back with your raffle number and put your number in the pot. The raffle Starts on monday and ends on Saturday. entries will not be taken after 11:59pm ET Saturday night. Then on Sunday I will pick the winner and email you back if you are the winner. And if I have your premission I will post who the winner is. If you do not want it posted I will respect that 100%. The post will just say the winner of the week was Jane D. from what state you live in. Being that right now I seem to only have US readers. If you do not want your name posted i will just say the winner has been picked and wants to remain annonomous. This is totally up to you.

RULES:

1. Only one entry per person per week.
2. Each week the pot is emptied and we have a fresh start.
3. No entries after 11:59pm ET Saturdays
4. Entries start 12am ET Monday.
5. You have 24 hours to claim your prize or it goes to someone else.
6. I wil have the drawings at 3pm Sunday you have till 3pm monday to get Back to me.

This is just an FYI part.

I will not post your email information or any personal information on here. That is your business not the world's to know.

I will email you all the patterns in a zip file.this is yours crochet your heart out.

I will not be putting the featured work from others in the weeks patterns they are not mine and you can find the patterns with the link I will provide.

You are more then welcome to share your pictures if you want to show off your work. I will set up a flicker account for this blog.

I think I got all of it. Any questions please feel free to comment below, email me tweet me. And you can find my on facebook too @ Soucy Creations.

Ok Now that we got that out of the way. When to start the fun. being that the patterns i have posted already are free I am not going to change them they are free. No sorry not going to happen. And I do not care who that makes mad in my home. So starting Monday all the patterns I write will go in the list for this weeks raffle. Most of the time I have the finished work of the next day's pattern already made so I will post a picture. You can buy it on my ravely store or you can enter the raffle. That will be on sunday (not tomorrow the sunday after)

Day 2 of the year of granny squares is fresh off the press

Ok lets hope this works. Here is the pattern for today's square


Just thought I would put this out there

I have been just doing my daily inpiration search for what to make today and I noticed that a lot of the patterns said for personal use only. Now after doing A LOT of copyright research I took away that people cannot tell you what to do with the finished product. But to be safe I stay away from those patterns because well sooner or later I want to sell my work.

But i wanted to pu out there that the free patterns that I make up are free of charge and you can share. All I ask if that you do not claim the pattern as your. I mean I did take the time to type it up and make it all pretty. But if you want to use one of my patterns to make something to sell, all the power to ya! And the best of luck with your business.

I just had to share!

here is a sneak peak at tomorrow's square. It is so pretty I just had to share what I came up with. Again this pattern I made from my little brain.


First written pattern!!!

Here is my pattern for my winter blues square enjoy


And here is the raverly link to download it.
http://www.ravelry.com/people/slsoucy

Well this year started out kinda...

I am just sitting at my craft table working on today's square and what does my camera do die! Why? I forgot to take the batteries out and charge them. So now I need to let them charge for what seems to me like forever. I did get the finished square pic on the computer before it died so I can at least make a written tutorial for it just without my lovely slide show tutorials. It will be just a normal PDF With only one picture.



But here is a picture of the first square of the year.


I call this square the winter blues. It is at much as the typical square as my crazy mind would allow.

Don't ya just hate it when...

Don't ya just hate it when you are deep into a crochet project and next thing you know you have crochetted your hair into the work?

I say this because I was blessed as my mother says and cursed as I think with very thick curly hair that just goes all over the place and when I am up close to my work I will hook a hair or too and I end up with unwanted stitch markers. 

SHEESH!

Sweet I just thought of the coolest idea.

So one of my friends on facebook just shared a cool craft and I thought wow that is such a good idea to make, I think i will do it. Then it hit me I dont have any mason jars. Oh wait till you guys see ts one. I cant wait till it is done!

Next tutorial will be.....

So i have finally figured out what I am going to do for my first projrct tutorial. Ok i didn't my daughter did. i asked her what do you think would be a good idea for a new project and she said I really like the scarf you made me for Christmas. So my idea of an infinity scarf it is!. Videos will be up soon I hope. (:/)

Finally the last video is up and running

And here is the last video to basic training. I hope you enjoy and dont forget to share share share. Let the art of yarn live on!
