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.

Holy Cow It is almost Feb.

Well I just took a look at my calander and then a look at my squares a day for the year. i think i have about 3 weeks to catch up on. So after i get some sleep I will be getting some squares made and posted.

Update on my first baby blanket

This is what I got done while I was burning that oil.

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!

So I took time off from making patterns So I can get Squares for Gman going.

I am just amazed with the outreach i have gotten from wonderful others that want to help with making squares, for the blanket. It truely is a blessing. now I am up to 15 helpers. and it is sooo great that I have had people willing to help.So now I need to start getting my designs readyfor the blanket.

I just want to thank everyone for helping out with the squares. It means so much!

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!

And here is part one of the video tutorial on how to crochet this beauty!

And now for part 2 that will take you all the way to a finished square!

Day 3 in the Year of the granny square.

Today i will post a pattern well now it will be tomorrow. (I took the day off real life called me.) i call it a stary night. The star is not my pattern so i will not put the pattern in this work but i will have the link where I found the pattern so you can make it too. but everything else I did., and let me tell you the star was the easiest part. So below you will see a picture of the square and I will get the pattern written asap!

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.

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.

Time to start the real work!

Now that I have some traffic coming in, it is now time to start the real work. That means I need to plan out things and have a schedule. If I really want this to work I need to do it the right way.

The new year is now less then 12 hours away. And I want to make sure I start the new year with big dreams and just as much of a fight in me to make those dreams come true.

So as I make my post for the day I want to wish everyone a safe healthy happy and successful new year!!!!
