Such an ingenious idea!

I was involved in an online brainstorming event this morning, It happens sometimes. We just feed each other ideas, or support, what have you. Often it turns into a gab fest, which is helpful too. This one was especially helpful to me.

I also came away with a link I really want to share with everyone that has children under the age of 5.

I have never seen anything like this. Perhaps I am sheltered, I do not get out much, but this was just the end all to the thinking this morning. I had to come write this, and show you!

It is a paid pattern, as well it should be. The thought that went into the design is worth every penny, at twice the price.

To see more of her designs, please check out the Ravelry shop, as well as her facebook page. Perhaps you would like to follow her blog.
I know I may be kicking my own backside here by promoting another designers paid patterns, and yet I am a firm believer that what you sow, so shall you reap.

This is amazing.

Happy hooking
Until next time

**Thoughts are Shifting** Featured Pattern

It is easy to see that even though the temps are still in the "Summer" ranges here in the United States, people's thoughts are shifting to the Fall & Winter Seasons.

Perhaps it has something to do with the idea there are only 19 Fridays before Christmas. There are gifts to be made, as well as wanting to be ready when the first frost hits the pumpkin.

I asked fans and followers to look through the patterns available in my Ravelry shop to choose the Featured Pattern of the Week.

Whooo Hooo It Happened

!!!! 1000 Likes on Facebook !!!!

It was just about a year ago, after so many campaigns, so much effort to build up a fan base. I decided it really did not matter. The way information reaches people is sketchy anyway.  My fan base on Face book was about 400.  I was hopeful it would grow.  

I decided to relax, and focus on other aspects of growing my business.  

Today, Grammy's Creations hit 1000 likes.  Many of them do not interact with me, but over the course of the last year, it has grown, without my requesting a single like.  I am actually pretty pleased by that!

It was a year ago that I published my first crochet pattern.

I am still doing that, Trying to focus on what I can do. The rest will fall into place.

I have had some real busy weeks of late, getting items ready to be published, (Yes that is plural, and yes I said PUBLISHED, not by me.)

I have yet to have a print magazine accept a submission, but even that is not as unsettling as it was a few months ago.  

I am focused on what I can do, the rest will fall into place.

So  right this minute, What can I do?  I want to celebrate.  How about this?   Buy one pattern, from my Ravelry Shop and put the Kadi in your cart as a gift from Grammy;s Creations.  The Kadi is actually 2 different patterns, that utilize the same basic shape elements.

You will need to use the coupon code   1Klikes

This code can be used with the Featured pattern sale that starts tomorrow evening as well.  This offer is good through the end of the day Monday August 18, 2014.

You Choose this week's Featured Crochet Pattern

A new event for my followers is a weekly featured crochet pattern.
Week one was my Cabled Slouchy Hat.

I am excited to be in a position to offer a pattern every week, (for at least 15 more weeks) at a discount.

This time, I thought I would do it just a bit differently, and ask you to choose the feature for this coming weekend.  Pattern chosen will be on sale from 6:00 Friday Evening, until End of Day Sunday each week.

The Process is really simple, Visit my Ravelry Shop,  Select your favorite, then simply tell me your choice on my Facebook Page. The thread is pinned to the top of the page.

Some of my Facebook followers have chimed in; So far, the results are all over the board.  There can only be one featured pattern each week.

Ready to get your Holiday gifts started?  Need to update your Fall accessories?  Looking for a pattern that will challenge your skills, without breaking the bank?  A 1/3 off price helps to pull that off.

Looking forward to seeing which pattern gets the most votes this week.

Until next time
